Spoiled Idiots

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Meat is Murder: Tasty, Tasty Murder

Just in time for the holidays, PETA has copied a Wii game title to make their own version which espouses people giving up meat and going vegan.

If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat? (And why do we have incisors, and why do we require protein, etc.?)

I am not going to link to the site, since they seem to have never heard the phrase "user-initiated audio". Maybe their keyboards are too jammed with alfalfa sprouts to code properly.

Carousel

Two things about this video:
  1. It is a fine example of why I am so proud to be in advertising, an industry filled with creative thinking and emotions that encourage people to bring products into their lives, and

  2. This is, by far, one of the top 5, all-time best moments of television ever written.

Hope Reigns Supreme

It is a bright, new day for our country. For the first time in eight years, we feel the warm sunlight of hope on our faces.

We no longer have to be ashamed of our place in the world view.

We no longer have to worry that our rights will continue to be whittled away by the old guard.

We are no longer war mongers. We will wage peace.

We will no longer be a country of hatred and exclusion; we will welcome each other with open arms.

This is our new hope. This is our shining glory.

This is the start of our Camelot.

P.S. On another note: WTF, California?

Dear Agency Hack

Wait... That's the amazing UBI you come up with to boost your client's
brand? "You Order. We Deliver." Wow. Was that a crazy all-nighter
filled with mood boards and cold Chinese food? The call to action is
engaging and, quite frankly, a little overwhelming. I'm still a little
woozy from the idea of your client delivering something I've ordered.

It's nice to see that four years of Liberal Arts studies spent at the

local commuter college in a mushroom-induced haze have finally paid off for you.

Bravo, Captain. "Bravo", I say.
