The Sputtering Fury, It Burns

First off, Happy New Year.

Second off, WTF? This ad is on the top of the Drudge Report as of this writing. God knows where else it’s been placed.

In no particular order:

1) You’re not welcome. Give me my tax money back, you corporate whores.

2) You didn’t have any money, so you begged for the taxpayers to bail you out, and they did (against the popular will), and the first thing you do is spend a bunch of money on an ad THANKING THEM? You know, my folks gave us some money to help us buy our house (thanks!) – I’m pretty sure that if we’d taken a couple grand of that money to put up a billboard in our town saying “Thank You!”, that they would have been pissed off. Because they gave us the money for a house, not for PR stunts. Chrysler’s money, ditto.

3) With public relations and economics skills like these, no wonder your company is in the toilet. It deserves to be in the toilet. Fail now, and get out of the way.

(Sorry, Joanne. But you know I still love ya.)

Moron Alert: City Cancels “Ragtime” Performance Over Language Concern

Idiots are everywhere.

The show’s despairing, African-American, director:

“You take that word out of this story and you invalidate my history as an African-American male,” said Perry.

“Do I like the word? No. But to pretend nobody said it is wrong. I wouldn’t even consider doing that,” Perry said. “Context is everything, and it’s not gratuitous, it’s not for shock value.

“How can we learn about our present if we don’t educate people about what happened in our past?”

How, indeed.
