Budweiser 9/11 Tribute (video)

I saw this on TV this AM. An oddly touching tribute to 9/11 in a beer commercial.

The King is Dead (Burger King, that is!)

...about frikken' time!



Burger King has decided to 86 the creepy guy in the plastic head.

In the first of many steps to reinvent itself over the next year, the struggling fast-feeder Friday will announce that it's dethroning the creepy King character — and other wacky, teen-targeting stuff — and refocusing on a customer it had all but forgotten: Mom.



In a new ad campaign set to air this weekend, Burger King will nationally roll out the California Whopper on Monday, made with what's arguably the gastronomic trend of 2011: guacamole. In a serious image twist, the entire commercial shows only the sights and sounds of the fresh ingredients being washed, sliced and diced. There are no words, just pulsating music.

Although, who can forget the high point of his career?

E-Trade Baby Loses Everything

Caution: There is a little course language, insufficiently bleeped for you to know exactly what he's saying. But, if you can get by that, it's as funny as it can be, given the underlying reality of the situation.

Ron Paul - The Movie (video)

Escapism for the Paulbots. Remember Don LaFontaine? He'd start a movie trailer: "In a world ...". In a world where Ron Paul can actually get elected president, what color is the sky??

Billboard Porn in Northern California?

AUBURN—

A woman in a bikini is not considered inappropriate, but some have concern about a ten-foot tall blonde in a white swimsuit in Auburn. And now the offending billboard has been replaced.

The woman is promoting California Sun, tanning salons around the Sacramento area. But Thursday morning, her image was covered up by a black tarp spray-painted with the words “no porn in our town”.

The billboard in question? This one:



Much ado about very little.

Which reminds me of an old country song...

Wow what a girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway
I bet it wouldn't take her long to be gone
If someone would pull a dirty trick and take her towel away
I slow my Jimmy down to twenty that's how many wrecks I see there every day
Caused by the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile and a towel
In the picture on the billboard in the field near the big old highway

PETA Builds Campaign Around Microwave Baby Death

"Everybody's Somebody's Baby"

Most sensible people were horrified by the story of the Sacramento mother who murdered her baby using a microwave oven.

Now, seeking to capitalize on the horrific and sensational story, PETA is proposing a billboard comparing microwaving a child alive with cooking a pork chop.

Now I have been sympathetic to PETA in the past. I don't agree with them, but I could sympathize with their sentiments. Not here. I hesitated even writing about this, as I did the original story, simply because this is sickening to many people, and if they are only seeking cheap publicity, I hesitated to give it to them. And, IMHO, the PETA ad was supposedly designed by sane people, who evidently do not care the amount of pain they might inflict on the family of this murdered child.

Shame on you, PETA.

Obama's Food Police Target Tony the Tiger

Obama's Food Police in Staggering Crackdown on Market to Kids

Tony the Tiger, some NASCAR drivers and cookie-selling Girl Scouts will be out of a job unless grocery manufacturers agree to reinvent a vast array of their products to satisfy the Obama administration’s food police.

Either retool the recipes to contain certain levels of sugar, sodium and fats, or no more advertising and marketing to tots and teenagers, say several federal regulatory agencies.

Another great idea from the administration that brought you the current depression and the slowest recovery in history. Reformulate your product or stop advertising to your primary market. That sounds like a formula for job growth...or the opposite!

Do the words "New Coke" come to mind? Without any taste tests or market research, some government bureaucrat wants to dictate to a successful company how their product should be made, without taking into consideration, how that "new and improved" product might taste and whether or not anyone would still buy it, and if they won't blindly change how it is made, the government will restrict how it is marketed. No heavy hand there! Just another jackboot on the throat of freedom.

As the vintage ad states, they used to be called Sugar Frosted Flakes. Is there anyone alive today who doesn't know that "frosted flakes" are made with sugar? Is there any area of your life that government does not want to interfere in or control? How about leaving it to parents and the individual whether or not to buy Frosted Flakes. Let the manufacturer decide where and when it wants to advertise so as not to go out of business and add to Obama's burgeoning unemployment numbers.
