PATH: BS | Business | Advertising Republicans speak out Posted by wizeGurl (5199 views) [E-Mail link] Interested in hearing a whole lot of people who voted for Bush last time explain why they're not going to vote for Bush this year? Check out Errol Morris's series of ads; some were aired on TV, but most were not. If you want to hear from the other side of the fence, you can always pop over to Zell Miller's site.

The deal inked with Chrysler and Jeep purposes to promote the Jeep brand while Nielsen will gauge consumers acceptance of the new ploy. Now if we can smash the Jeeps to bits, roll them over and expose the true size of the drivers' genitals in the game, I think they may be on to something. READ MORE Bush brand "Flip Flops" - they're hawt! Posted by Pile (5203 views) [E-Mail link] [Humor] Graphic designers take a creative approach towards the political season and bring even more meaning to the term "flip-flop." Personally, I really dig the new "Homeland Security Flip-Flops" - comfy and they come in colors so you can always tell what the terror level is by looking at your feet. READ MORE Ticketmaster is on crack Posted by Rick W (5474 views) [E-Mail link] The other night my friends and I purchased tickets to see Ani Defranco. Two days later we get an invite via Ticketmaster promoting Toby Keith's tour! I do not understand why a big company like this would think that anyone who would attend an Ani Defranco concert would also be interested in inbred, redneck, chauvenist, conservative country music sucksation, Toby Keith! Ticketmaster must be on crack. READ MORE | 2 comments since 2004-10-02 00:21:01 | Comment on this Article Jesus Saves! (0.40/gal on regular unleaded) Posted by Pile (5812 views) [E-Mail link] The Main Place Christian Fellowship in Los Angeles came up with a novel new Christian recruitment/church promotion idea: collect $5000 and make a deal with a local gas station to drop the price of fuel for motorists who don't mind getting preached to while they fill-up their tank.

One frustrated atendee said, "I was asked to turn my shirt inside out at the entrance to a match, because the logo was too large and I was sitting in front-row seats, where the TV cameras would have caught sight of me for sure," It's bad enough koke has taken over the event and forced even the althetes themselves to drink from label-stripped cans and bottles if they're not of a particular brand, but the IOC has gone even more overboard, policing everything from computer screen savers to spare change. READ MORE 'We Employ America' (at least 65% of the time) Posted by Pile (5962 views) [E-Mail link] Milwaukee-based ad firm Catral Doyle Creative is launching the "We Employ America" campaign, described as "a market-driven, consumer focused program ... designed to pool the resources of enrolled American manufacturers to inform consumers that, by choosing to purchase products from WEA member companies, they are supporting American jobs and economic stability." What's interesting is that in order to become a member of WEA, you only have to have produced 65% of your product in America. I guess We Employ 13/20th of America didn't sound as catchy? CNN had no problems airing the commercials for their "American campaign". Surprise.

The highly controversial concept, a message merely stating "Democracy Is Best Taught by Example, Not by War" was turned down by the fascist Clear Channel. READ MORE 8 Articles displayed.
