ET TU, Walmart?

Hmmm.  Walmart ditches American jobs for overseas labor where employees/slaves are locked in for lousy pay and conditions.  Walmart forces small businesses OUT of business to minimize paperwork and deal with only large suppliers.  Shortcuts are taken in food that jeopardize the health of millions.  Many other yet undiscovered ways of increasing the Walmart family fortunes at the suffering of others continue, yet they immediately judge Paula Deen for a not so nice incident, yet super minor when compared to the deeds of Walmart.  Same for all the retailers who immediately cut ties while they continue to lie, cheat and steal until they themselves get caught and then proclaim innocence.  Is ANYONE watching what is happening in this once proud country???

It was nice to no longer see the GEICO, (Originally Government Employees Insurance Company), hairy pig commercial shown in a convertible with a young lady with aspirations of "getting together," thereby condoning beastiality.  Thanks to all who contributed to its demise!
No sooner is that commercial gone, then BINGO!  I've just seen the same pig, (appropriately used), on a jet ski watercraft with another young lady who ditched her boyfriend for the repugnant oinker.  

What person comes up with these commercials for all to see, including children who are nowhere near driving eligibility?  Worse is the total non-caring attitude at GEICO for allowing the commercial to be made, then aired?   The commercials easily undermine the thinking of our young, impressionable children in addition to sickening the adults.  I'm certainly happy to know MY insurance company is tons more mature by not promoting sex with animals.  

I strongly urge all Americans to contact GEICO and boycott the product until they show some sense of responsibility.  Kindly forward the message to influential media, such as your local TV stations, newpapers and the likes of Oprah Winfrey. 

Happy April!!!

Why donating blood is a GOOD thing

Below is the letter received from the Red Cross.  I'm blessed with O-Negative, so, I can help more people.  Donating is a very small part of anyone's day and it doesn't hurt.  If you're not already a donor, PLEASE consider it.  Thanks!!!

Dear Robert:

Thank you for giving blood with the American Red Cross on 1/31/2013. After first ensuring local needs were met, your double red cell donation was sent to St.-Elizabeth Health-Center in Youngstown, OH and Trumbull Memorial Hospital in Warren, OH to help patients in need. Your donation is on its way to changing lives!

Every day, patients receive blood for a variety of conditions including life-threatening illnesses, blood disorders and traumas. Your blood donations are critical to helping save patients' lives.

On behalf of the hospitals and patients we serve, thank you for being a Red Cross blood donor.

Sincerely,

Richard Benjamin, M.D., Ph.D.

For those of you in the unemployment lines...there's GOTTA be an opening for film and fashion critics.  Hurry and apply NOW! 1. History has proven to me that if I viewed a movie that got "panned," I liked it a lot.  I'm sure many of you might feel the same...so, go for it! 2. I'm not one for perusing the local rag's entertainment section, officially named, "Style & Fashion," but since rain has been falling all day, I gave it a shot.  Yikes!  Of the Oscars' Red Carpet, the critic-ette penned, "No, my shallow darlings, the topic du jour on morning gab fests, quasi-news shows and the endless maw that is the blogosphere was Anne Hathaway's pink Prada dress and its placement of two darts-prominent little tentlike protrusions that, in the mind of many a critic, too closely resembled nipples."  I'm so glad she cleared THAT up for me.  Incidentally, the photo of the aforementioned's article makes her appear to be maybe 9 or 10, so, there's room for improvement.  Hopefully a lot---and soon.  She then continued on, telling us what all the other "experts" called the darts on Anne's dress.  I'd like to read one of her "What I did on summer vacation" reports. Obviously, I was misinformed on the Pope's retirement.  A week ago, it was thought that his excellency had hit the Irish Sweepstakes and left town.  As of this morning, there are more distinct facts mentioned, although I doubt we'll ever know the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  So be it.  According to what I've read and heard, the last time a pope said, "Sono fuori di qua" ("I'm outta here!") was in 1415, even prior to the birth of Chris Columbus.  Benedict XVI was quite the corporate man though, as witnessed by his submission of a 2 week notice.  Wotta guy, huh?  Although, I wonder if they made him sign a non-compete clause.                                                                                               Onward, Christian Soldiers!

I no longer see the hairy pig commercials from GEICO.  Thanks to those who helped get them off the air.   Now, if someone can do the same for ads that insist on thinking drumbeats are cool in the background of nearly every TV ad.  All they do is cause people to change the channel or leave the room.  Several years back, those drumbeats were everywhere.  They did stop for awhile, but I noticed a resurgence in the past several weeks.  I surveyed numerous contacts and couldn't find any people who had positive thoughts about them.  In fact, they all questioned the sanity of those who submit and those who pay for them.  C'mon, ad agencies...where's the originality? Cars are getting better mileage.  Just this week, gas shot up 30 cents per gallon in my neighborhood.  A man on the news told the nation that gas is more expensive because we don't have enough pipelines and refineries.  What the ----? All the panic about 1 week remaining before the federal budget goes bazonkers.  YOU MEAN NO ONE SAW THIS COMING?!?  GEEZISS PETE, ALREADY!!!  WHAT THE H--- ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING IN D.C??? Outsourcing = job losses = unemployment and all that goes with it, being taxes, etc.  See federal budget woes in previous paragraph. On the bright side:  Major League Baseball played the 1st game of spring training yesterday and hope springs eternal.  Will this be YOUR team's year?

Time to get REALLY P-----D OFF!!!

The marketing/advertising "specialists" are always busy trying to induce the public into buying their products.  One method is called subliminal advertising.  If you've been on this planet long enough, you'll recall the quick flash of a soft drink and pop corn on the drive-in movie or local bijou theater screen, causing you to waltz to the lobby, not really knowing why...just that you had to have refreshments at that moment.  Those methods continue.  I see specific items being subliminally presented on a constant basis, but those can be addressed at another time. Other ads truly upset me because they seem to think so little of our intelligence.  One example is the blue bear family whom we now see in the bathroom, with a specific brand of toilet paper.  My astonishment is not only with the designer of the ads, but I wonder what is in the minds of those who authorize payment and distribution of those commercials. And...now, the BOMB!  For nearly a week, I've been shocked at watching the GEICO Insurance Company literally inferring and condoning beastiality.   You see a hairy pig with a young lady, who doesn't even seem to be 18 years old, seated in the front seat of a disabled car.  Mr. hairy pig holds a phone, stating that a tow truck will be there in 30 minutes.  Miss young lady(?) has a look of disappointment on her face and utters a question seemingly about not being able to "make out" instead. This has already been copied to my local newspaper, The Cleveland Plain Dealer.   I implore you to do the same in YOUR locale. If you want your children to be continually subjected to these kinds of ads, you may choose to delete this, then wonder years hence, "What happened?"
