The Industry of Advertising, thinks about Muslim Perception in America.

"The controversy over the proposed site of the Park51 Islamic Center two blocks from Ground Zero has exposed fault lines in American society. The project has inspired a fervent national debate about religious freedom and tolerance and protecting the sanctity of a site where thousands perished in the World Trade Center attacks.

According to a Time magazine poll conducted last month, 61 percent of 1,000 adults surveyed opposed the project, while 26 percent supported it. Just 23 percent said it would be a symbol of religious tolerance, while 44 percent said it would be an insult to those who died on 9/11. Additionally, 46 percent of those polled believed Islam was more likely than other faiths to encourage violence against non-believers, although only 37 percent said they knew a Muslim American.

Adweek editors Eleftheria Parpis and Brian Morrissey challenged over 30 agencies to apply their communications skills to address the issue. Five did so.

The brief: change the perceptions of ordinary Americans toward Islam and Muslims, and encourage dialog between those who oppose and support the building of the community center. Participants were free to choose whatever media they felt would be most effective in communicating their ideas. Here are the agencies' visions and the summaries of their strategic thinking, in their own words."

The results are underwhelming.

Hot Chics: Deborah Ann Woll.

Full disclosure...the hottness confusion I experience when it comes to Joan Holloway and Christina Henddricks..... is the same internal struggle here with Deborah and Trueblood hottie Jessica. Jessica (on the show) is a new vampire and is super hot. Perhaps the confusion occur because they are both red heads.....Eh, whatever the case, Jessica is a vampire hottie.

Ewwww SARAHPAC.

For REAL Americans.

Covering Sept 2.

Innnnteresting Kelis. Very Innnteresting.

I like the idea of this cover. Alot.

Whamp. Whamp. Whamp. Yada. yada. yada.

I'm not hating....but if you are gonna be on the cover of Men's Fitness, you would think you'd do a sit up or two. I know this trick. The gut suck in. I've taken pictures at the beach before.

This a third degree burn, Mess.

These are gorgeous. Don't know the mag though.

There was some controversy about whether Elle photoshopped Gabby's skin to be lighter. Honestly...it simply looks like good lighting on a white screen to me.

No jokes. She looks great here.

You know....Im not a fan. But I will cover her and her preschool rhymes as long as she is hot. And she's not awful to look at either.

Minaj on the cover of out mag. I respect that move.

Conclusion...this man makes his best music, when it's not on his album. And am I the only one who misses Wheel Cahir Jimmy and his cardigans?

White Knuckles. Ok Go.

This video is so perfect in so many ways.

Stuck with the Devil in an elevator.

This preview almost got me. I was sitting in the theater waiting for Inception to start with the gf, and when we saw it was done be M Night Shamalamalon....we simultaneously said "Oh fuck that." I think he would do better if he didn't put his name on his stuff.

Inception was pretty awesome though. Kudos. lol.

Beautiful H-Bombs.

Simple as hell. But perhaps the prettiest thing I've seen in awhile. See more here.

The Weekday Play List.

This is the first time I've exported a music list. So I'm really excited. This is literally what is on repeat on Theo (the ipod). I have been looking for a way to seemlessly share more music on this blog. Let's hope, this is it.

The Linkdown.

1. Talk about trivializing 9/11.

2. This is how you teach college kids some psych 101.

3. J-Wow is doing Playboy. What took so long???

4. Egypt uses photoshop...to move Obama to the back.

5. Made for each other.

6. They figured it was time to "Gay-up" the Guinness word records.

7. You guys heard about the Joaquin Phoenix thing right? How he was only pretending to be a burnt out actor/rapper/beard wearer for a movie...I mean reality documentary.....

8. Blog all about Russia. In English. See...I educate yall too.

9. Spray-on-Cloths. Why have Louis Vutton when you can have Louis Spray-On? (see what I did there).

"...it's your job. I give you money. You give me ideas."

"But you never say thank you."

"You will get your recognition. Everything to you is an opportunity. But you should be thanking me every morning you wake up, along with Jesus, that you have another day."

TIK TOK. Kesha.

OK...I'll admit it. After a few whiskeys....I'll get up and dance to this. I only admit this to you, my readers. Cause I love you. And I had to get this off my chest.
