Impious since 2006
The film, which explores the often invasive world of product placement, is set to open in theaters April 22.
Cincinnati Right to Life has posted five billboards showing an ultrasound image of a fetus representing Jesus with the slogan, "He Came As a Baby ... Christmas Starts with Christ."(sNSFW, brief boob shot @ 4:09)

A Houston based group called Raging Elephants is looking to change their dynamic with their new billboard, "GOP Is The New Black" campaign. The new billboard depicts a number of well-heeled African-American actors while trumpeting the new slogan. Its also likely to spark a debate that may include allegations of race-baiting, as well as a certain inquiry into where the funds initially came from...
Republican campaign operatives are taking down an ad against West Virginia Democratic Senate candidate Joe Manchin following a report that the ad's casting call asked for actors who could look "hicky."To say that this ad sick and perverse doesn't scratch the surface. This is a death threat to people who don't buy those mercury filled lightbulbs. You can't show this video to kids, can you? It does expose their true feelings, though. The makers of the spots and the organization should be wiping some egg and blood smears off themselves right about now, right? Oh, wait, did they think this is funny? Originally intended for theaters, the 10:10 folks pulled the video on October 1, saying that it was not well received and that “you live and learn.” Riggghhhtt....
Now it's magically resurfaced on YouTube, and the dumbasses at Blasphemes are running it to show you - All I know is that it speaks volumes about the organization and the people supporting it.
The makers of HFCS want to make it all better. Are they going to stop selling the stuff? No... but they found a way to make this whole icky controversy go away....
The makers of high fructose corn syrup want to sweeten its image with a new name: corn sugar.
The Corn Refiners Association applied Tuesday to the federal government for permission to use the name on food labels. The group hopes a new name will ease confusion about the sweetener, which is used in soft drinks, bread, cereal and other products.
Americans’ consumption of corn syrup has fallen to a 20-year low on consumer concerns that it is more harmful or more likely to cause obesity than ordinary sugar, perceptions for which there is little scientific evidence.
However, some scientists have linked consumption of full-calorie soda – the vast majority of which is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup – to obesity.
[...]There’s a new online marketing campaign at and on television. Two new commercials try to alleviate shopper confusion, showing people who say they now understand that “whether it’s corn sugar or cane sugar, your body can’t tell the difference. Sugar is sugar.”
Right. And too much of anything will turn you into a fatbody. We get that. Too bad there's just more and more evidence disagreeing with the 'Sugar is Sugar' argument. It appears that cancer just loves the stuff!
The good news is that you know they're losing when they have to change the name. Aspartame pulled this stunt not too long ago. Also, the fact that Pepsi and Coke are sensing the pressure. They're running campaigns all the time - reminding you they sell bottled water and other sugary drinks other than colas with HFCS... and Pepsi has had Throwback Dew and Pepsi on the shelves a lot longer than that 'limited' amount of time, which means it's selling. I've bought a couple cases of the stuff. My Costco sells 'Mexican' Coke. I bought a case of that too. I vote with my dollars. Maybe if enough people do the same, Corn Sugar will be a distant memory like DDT?
Advertising agency Muckmouth, Auckland, New Zealand created a blasphemous campaign for Eshe Streatwear. The campaign includes four posters posted all over the streets of Auckland, branded skateboards and t-shirts. Advertising is known to break taboos since before the scandalous Benetton campaigns breaking down the taboos of race, sex and politics. This campaign is now taking a stab at religion and picking on widely publicised scandals around it, such as pedophilia in the Catholic church and tele-evangelists making fortunes by commercialising religion. According to Wikipedia church attendance in New Zealand is around 15% and it must be even lower among the young population. So, it's safe to say the campaign will not be opposed by too many down under.
And Pakistan drowned...
Charlie Rangel told the Ethic's Committee to go f*ck themselves and the 80 year old danced at his birthday party.
It seems Harry Reid really is a racist. He said that his boss, Mr. Obama did not have a “Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one” and that he was popular because he is “light skinned”. He's been called out as an anti-semite, and this week called all hispanic men Democrats. Harry Reid once again demonstrates that it is that it is OK to be a racial bigot, so long as you are a leftwing racial bigot. Folks in Nevada, please, pretty please, get rid of this stupid nut. He makes you look bad. And forget his racial slurs - he's also an idiot. The racial slurs are just cherries on top of his crap ice cream banana split of incompetence.
The recovery isn't what they said it would be.
All this noise about a bitchy little child of a flight attendant taking a couple beers down the slide to say he quit... well the real reason he's being heralded as a hero? You bet - there's a job opening at Jet Blue!
And here's an interesting observation on the ruling oligarchy political class...
And in California - the land of Fruit and Nuts...
And finally. in the history of bad advertising placement, this one wins the splattered mud pie.
Have a great week folks, if we all make it through, we'll see each other next week.
