This is like a Pros Thoughts world exclusive. A small clip of the olympic opening ceremony. Watch it before it gets taken down.
And Beijing is doing it up big. And by big, I mean homosexual.

war. what is it good for?

An HBO miniseries...that's what.

I guess Ive held out for long enough. I have a new HBO addiction. Its called Generation Kill. Originally a book and then made a movie (i think), HBO has picked up this project and made it into a 7 part mini series. It is produced by the same guy who made The Wire...so I tuned in immediately for the first episode...3 weeks ago. Lol, Im a little late with this review. But I do have a reason.

The plot is simple. The lives and times 

of a current day Marine (not to be confused for the army...whooorah!) in Iraq. I will not pretend to know anything about soldiers or their daily strife over in a war that is almost unanimously and completely hated. But what I do know, is that this series portrays the marines in a much more personal light than war movies and shows of the past. Where as Mel Gibson starred war movies speak on honor/love of country/bravery and loss....Generation Kill breaks light on the actual mentality of the soldiers fighting in the war today. Their individual backgrounds. Their individual cultures. Their individual shortcomings. And how they all mesh together to form a single unit of men in a foreign country fighting for a belief. We follow the squadron from mission to mission, noting their frustrations, successes, failures, losses and mental stability.

Here is the situation. I do like the show. But I am not sure I like the show for the right reasons. Its is riddled with racist, sexist and homophobic commentary. The soldiers vary in personalities but for the most part they are all "brahs" and "dudes." There is clear message of "leaders" and "followers" and the mayhem that ensues when one does not think for themselves but merely follows orders. The same orders that have worked for generations and have saved thousands of young boys lives. A catch 22, I suppose. But here's the problem. I dont know if I like the show for its quality and meaty substance, or if I am only drawn to it due to its strung together acts/sayings of racism, bigotry and intolerance. You know....the things that wouldn't (shouldn't) be a

cceptable in the everyday work place. But hey...if your a bunch of brahs....in the middle of a dessert....its cool....and funny. 

I dont know guys. It like watching a snuff film. I am watching people in their lowest denominator...struggling, fighting and forming a bizarre brotherhood based on inadequacy and propaganda. In so many ways...these guys are better than me as a person. But in so many ways they are not. The show basically outlines, how absolutely insane you have to be to be a marine. Or maybe, its....how crazy the Marines make you. 

Its a head trip. I suggest you watch it, simply to see what I am talking about. 

Ok...thats it. 

Say Hello to the Friendlies.

they are the official mascots of the Beijing 2008 Olympics. Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini. Together they form FUWA...."carrying a message of friendship and peace -- and good wishes from China -- to children all over the world."

:::sigh of relief:::

for a minute there...i thought it would be dangerous for all those athletes representing the world and such. But these adorable little guys....well, lets just say that I can now sleep at night. And if you think I wont do a personal bio on each of these lovable (boot-leg care bears), you are horribly mistaken.

UPDATE: When you put their names together...they say "Welcome to Beijing (ignore the travesties in Tibet)"...i kid, the part in parenthesis, I made up. Cha...im such a joker. 

nbc knows black people.

if you want to watch a mediocre comedian who is kinda funny in a set them up-deliver way...go ahead and watch the whole thing.

at 3:35...white comedian makes reference to black people.
at 3:41...cut to black people laughing at joke

come on NBC. You are kidding right?

other than that...


We are no longer in the 80s.

classic.

i just laughed for 3 minutes straight. GOOODDD MMOOORRNINNG! Its friday b*tches!

barbaric homicide is not the same as eating KFC.

this saddens me. 

i didnt post on the tragic and horrible grey hound murder because it was so close to home. I use to ride that bus all the time back and forth to school in Boston. And I use to knock the f*ck out with my head phones on, next to strangers all the time. 

But, alas this is not about me. Its about the crazy PETA people. They have literally made the worst comparison possible. The ad to the right is their most recent work of art.

It reads:

Manitoba....

An innocent young victims throat is cut....

His struggles and cries are ignored...

The man with the knife shows no emotion....

The victim is slaughtered and his head is cut off...

His flesh is eaten...

Its still going on!

“If this ad leaves a bad taste in your mouth, please give a thought to what sensitive animals think and feel when they come to the end of their frightening journey and see, hear and smell the slaughterhouse.”

According to the PETA FILES they [PETA] are running the ad to make people rethink the proposition that it is a criminal act to kill and eat our own kind but that it's "OK" to kill every other species but our own and eat them.

I really have nothing clever or witty to say about this. Its simply in bad taste. And the fact of the matter is....human life takes precedent to that of an animal. Point blank.

Bad analogy PETA. Bad f*cking analogy.

the articulate mr west.

"Open your fucking minds. Open your minds. Be accepting of different people and let people be who they are. You know how many people came to me calling me gay cause I wear my jeans the fresh way? Or because I said hey, dude, how you gonna say 'fag' right in front of a gay dude's face and act like that's ok. That shit is disrespectful. Coming from Chicago, where if you saw somebody that was gay you were supppoed (supposed) to stay ten feet away. It should be time to break out of the intuitions that I was sayin', the steretypes (sterotypes), or the fear, the backlash that I would get if you don't believe in what I believe in, acceptin' people for who they are...they're very talented and if they do something special in the world and they're discriminated. I've flown across the world y'all, and I've come back here to tell you — open your minds and live a happier life..."

dildo ads.

stole this from whyadssuck. its funny. and about dildos.

Which begs me to ask...if you (a girl) were in this exact situation...what would you do with your dildo?

swell advice from draper.

when it comes to a fictional (based on reality) scripted character for tv dramas...if there is one person I would get advice from....its, Don Draper from AMC's Mad Men.

Love it or hate it, stern looking Don always has some insight to life that makes you wish you were as twisted deep down inside as he was. Luckily, we now can figure out all his opinions on any topic we feel relevant. Thanks to whatwoulddondraperdo.com . 

Whether it be the broads in your office or your nagging little brats at home that dont know how to make a tom collins properly....thanks to email....you can now ask Don....

A few examples:

Dear Don Draper, A girl smiled at me all the way home from work on the bus last night but I'm not sure if it was because I'm handsome or just a better prospect than the old man sitting next to me who smelled of wee. Any ideas?
No. You should never get ideas from some stoned beatnik’s hazy grin. Additionally, you shouldn’t ride the bus. Or sit next to old men who smell of piss. Have you ever seen a lantern-jawed winner on the bus, brimming with false modesty? You haven’t. Just poor people with poor habits.

Dear Don Draper, I'm a recently-married Junior Account Executive who's thinking about taking a mistress. How do I know which party girl is right for me?
I think you’re unclear about what party girls are and do and can only assume you’re also ill-prepared for what you call a mistress. Give it some time, junior.

(OUCH!!!!)

Dear Don Draper, I don't think I love my wife anymore. Should I get a divorce?
Lots of guys don’t love their wives. Stick it out - especially if you have kids - until you reach a point where it’s no longer a question.

I am currently working on a brilliant piece of writing (a question) to send him. I will have my copywriter (A-Dawg) edit it and then run it by my agency proof reader. I am going to stump this fictional man.

old school ads.

Feeling Bernbach-y today.

 

Especialy after this retro-ness. I also feel like making up words, just to show the ability-ness of uber awesome copy to make an ad a catrillion times better.

My opinion....very studenty yet interesting to look at. But it works.
