AdScam/The Horror!

It’s fucking Friday!!!

Ace Canadian AdScammer, Ray – Eh, reminds me it’s Friday and I haven’t done my T.G.I.K.M.F parade of Kate pulchritude. So... Here goes...

That'll keep you quiet for a week!!!

Clooney Cruises...

I have written many times about the idiocy of blowing big bucks on celebrity spokestards to pimp all kinds of useless shit. This from an article in The Guardian about George Clooney makes a point... The interviewer asks... So, George, do you ever think: “You know what? I think I have enough money now.” Unruffled as the silver hair on his head, Clooney leans forward, as if he is about to confide in me. “Well, yeah. I was offered $35m for one day’s work for an airline commercial, but I talked to Amal [Clooney, the human rights lawyer he married in 2014] about it and we decided it’s not worth it. It was [associated with] a country that, although it’s an ally, is questionable at times, and so I thought: ‘Well, if it takes a minute’s sleep away from me, it’s not worth it.” Anyway, he’s probably got $35 million in an old coffee can up in the attic of his Lake Como villa.

So dapper!!!

Hypocrisy rules...

You have to laugh at the news that fascist attorney Lin Wood has shared a screenshot of an email exchange that shows fellow fascist, Tucker Carlson thanking Hunter Biden for writing his son a letter of recommendation for college. Wood posted the email exchange on fascist site, Telegram, where he has more than 758,000 followers, claiming it demonstrated that the Fox News fucktard and the president's son have a "buddy buddy" relationship. The email conversation between Carlson and Biden is dated November 2014. In the messages, Carlson thanks Biden for writing a reference letter to Georgetown University for his son, Buckley. "Hunter! I can't thank you enough for writing that letter to Georgetown on Buckley's behalf. So nice of you. I know it'll help. Hope you're great and we can all get dinner soon. Tucker." What a fucktard!

Guess where the laugh happened?

Eat shit... End up as shit.

I nearly choked on my breakfast beer when I read this quote on Adweek about the appointment of Sean Tresvant as global chief brand officer of Taco Bell... “When I think of Taco Bell, I think of a marketing powerhouse of trailblazers,” Tresvant said in a statement. “The brand and its people are constantly—and consciously—pushing the limits on what it means to be a brand in today’s rapidly evolving culture, and I’m excited to revolutionize alongside them.” Hey Sean... What’s the fuck is there to revolutionize? It’s cheap inedible pseudo Mexican cuisine that I wouldn’t be caught dead eating. Come to think of it... Neither would any self-respecting Mexican.

See what I mean???

Don’t be square, man!!!

The dumbness of corporate America never ceases to amaze me. After ZuckerNozzle’s renaming of Facebook into Meta and its “verse.” (beautifully spoofed by Iceland and its “Icelandverse." Video I have posted about recently.) We are now told that “Square” is now “Block.” I had no idea what the fuck “Square” did, and I still have no idea what “Block” will do. Apparently, it has something to do with blockchain. And I have no idea what the fuck that is either. Although it has a financial services division focused on Bitcoin called TBD54566975. Which is a name derived from a positive numerology report linked to the number. You can’t make this shit up!!!

Users get a free sweatshirt.

It’s only money!!!

News just out... MediaPost informs us that “Ogilvy is the most creative agency in the world, according to WARC.” The World Advertising Research Center (WARC) (Never heard of them.) has named Ogilvy the most creative agency network in the world. The organization has released the results of its annual Creative 100 ranking of the most creative agencies, networks, and campaigns in the world. I freelanced for Ogilvy for many years and actually won the David Ogilvy Award for the best campaign that year for one I had done for IBM. It came with a TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR prize. I was more than chuffed. Then, because I was freelance, they said I could keep the award, but I wouldn’t get the money. Bastards.

Yes indeed...

Ooh-La-La Indeed!

Interesting to read that Josephine Baker the legendary American-born dancer and singer who was also a French resistance fighter during WW11 has became the first Black woman to be honored at the Panthéon in Paris, the nation’s hallowed tomb of heroes. When I lived in New York I occasionally frequented the restaurant, “Chez Josephine.” The last of its kind on 42nd Street. It was founded in 1986 by Jean-Claude Baker one of Josephine’s many adopted children. as a tribute to his legendary mother. Good food. Good ambience.

Who doesn’t like bananas?

Congratulations America...

Once again America has established a new record. Today, according to worldometers, the number of deaths from the coronavirus has passed 800,000 for a current grand total of 801,326. No doubt the unvaccinated MAGA “Morans” will help the U.S. get to the one million mark pretty soon.

Go USA!!!

 

Isn’t capitalism great... If you’re a billionaire.

Hedge-fund douchenozzle Bill Ackman over the weekend said the new omicron variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 could be bullish for stocks if it proves to result in mild to moderate symptoms for those who contract it. This fucktard, who runs Pershing Square Capital, is known for his lucrative COVID wager. Back in 2020 he cashed out on a bet that netted him a $2.6 billion profit on a $27 million at risk, on the premise that insurance premiums would soar during the height of the 2020 COVID pandemic as economies locked down. Goes to prove you can make mega-millions from misery.

But a rich one!!!

All the bullshit not fit to print...

Did you see that Republican MAGA congressman, Ronny Jackson from Texas (where else?) is saying that the new version of Covid, Omicron, is just a trick to push midterm mail-in ballots. This from the fucktard failed doctor who gushed about Der Trumpf’s “excellent” health after the then-president’s physical in 2018, despite Trump’s extra pounds, well-known high-fat diet and golf-cart golf for his only exercise. There were also concerns about his mental acuity. The douchenozzle also listed Trump’s height at 6-foot-3 and weight at a ridiculous 239 pounds, even though he is obviously obese. Asked how he could reconcile Trump’s health habits and appearance with a determination that his health is “excellent,” the fervent Trump supporter chalked it up to “genetics.” That’s “the way God made him,” he said. What a load of bollocks.

A perfect physical specimen indeed...
