Frank Thomas ad (stupidly) pulled
This morning, I had heard that an ad featuring the Toronto Blue Jays’ Frank Thomas getting into a pillow fight of sorts with (his?) kids had been pulled from the air because of concerns that the kid had been injured. Thilk found the ad for me on YouTube, and I’ve included it below.
I’m sorry, but aren’t we going a bit overboard here? It’s completely all in fun as you can tell by simply watching it (sorry, I’m taking 29 seconds of your life away), and the kid clearly gets up after being whammed off the bed. It’s meant to be silly, as many of the MLB ads have been for YEARS now. I mean, I would understand this if it were a little more “violent” but this is just overboard. We should just shut down this country and start two new ones. One for people who want to live in Nannyland, another for people who want to live in the United States of America.
DQ ad
I was going to blog a bunch about this ad that my pal Meredith sent me, but it’s not embeddable, by request from the person who uploaded it. So go figure. All you get is a link.
Don’t Make Us Stop Adbombing People!!!
Next month, adware creator WhenU might have trouble with their business, according to Stefanie Olsen at CNET.
That’s like the pimp on the corner saying “These prostitution laws are gonna screw up my business. Damn.”
or the CMB having to shut down their drug syndicate because….drugs are illegal… Oh, that was a movie? My bad.
