How Not To Promote Your Cause
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII FOLKS! I've been surprisingly busy lately, so my halfhearted apologies for falling behind here. I've been feeling the wrong emotions towards stuff lately too, so that's thrown me off a little. For example, I was watching this porno yesterday out of really no purpose past boredom. It was a chubby chicks one, 'coz if you know me, I love me some curvy girls. This was too much though. I mean, Christ. This one chick had tits that she probably has to roll up before putting in her bra. The dudes lying on the bed propping one up like its a food tray being carried out to a table by a waitress..... it was fucked.

So, as he's holding this two foot long tit like it's a grinder he bought at a sandwich shop a half hour ago and forgot he was carrying, I burst out laughing. Word of advice, directors, good porn is not porn that the viewer finds hilarious. Then the guy is like "want to see my penis dance for you?" and I was like NAH THAT'S OKAY and closed it. Failed experiment. Speaking of failed experiments, allow this agonizingly forced transition sentence to introduce you to this advertisement campaign:
The World Wildlife Fund is joining a growing chorus of voices expressing outrage over an ad bearing its symbol that shows dozens of planes bearing down on lower Manhattan with a tag line that reads, "The Tsunami Killed 100 Times More People Than 9/11." - FoxNews.com
How many times do I have to note this? Rick Pitino mentioned 9/11 in his recent press conference to deflect off the fact that he fucks random women on restaurant floors (awesome) too. This is not a strategy Americans are going to get behind, especially not at the beginning of fucking September.

The advertisement shows an overhead view of Manhattan that shows like, 100 planes in all directions flying towards it. The Twin Towers are present. UHM, OOPSIE? The ad was designed by some Brazillian company that I don't feel deserves being acknowledged. Look, I don't care what country you're from, it is amazing you could rise to the position of creating advertisements for a borderline reputable group like the World Wildlife Fund if you think shit like this is a good idea.

And I thought Haribo fucked up with their candy container depicting a lime having rough sex with a lemon below. Clearly, I have much to learn about how to fail in the advertising world.



For what it's worth, the World Wildlife Foundation has insisted they rejected this ad proposal immediately, and don't know why it ever saw the light of day. I'm inclined to believe them, just in the hope that two companies could collectively be so stupid on one project.
