Advertising Is Good For You

Advertising on money is much more popular than I thought

Sadly for him, this is likely the only way Ron Paul will ever see himself on a US dollar bill.

Look what made its way into my wallet. Such an odd way to campaign for a candidate.

By the way, advertising on US currency is illegal so I doubt Ron Paul's current or past campaigns sanctioned stamping money.

A political sign worth sharing

Via Absolutely Madness

Really like this ad (please, forgive me, fellow Liberals)

I support gun control and do not believe that carrying a concealed weapon is a fundamental right.

That said, from an advertising/marketing point of view only, I really like this ad from the U.S. Concealed Carry Association.

The most succinct post-primary headline

From Huffington Post.

Mittens Romney

According to a Vanity Fair poll, 2% of Americans think Mitt Romney's real name is Mittens Romney.

His real first name is actually Willard.

Newt Gingrich. Poster boy for adultery. Literally.

FYI, Ashley Madison is an online dating site for people who want to cheat on their spouses.

Pretty sure Newt Gingrich did not approve this message.

If you want to support Occupy Wall Street, one way is to buy this awesome Guy Fawkes bandana

Available at Etsy for just $16.50.

For every bandana purchased, one will be sent to an Occupy Wall Street center. In addition to the Guy Fawkes image, the bandana is printed with handy advice for protesters:

» Do not speak with officers. Keep your mouth shut, comply, and request to speak with a lawyer. DO NOT RESIST ARREST. DO NOT CONSENT TO SEARCH.
» ACLU aclu.org/affiliates (212) 607-3300
» NLG nlg.org (212) 679-5100
» Fold bandana in half horizontally to use as half-face mask. Measure against face and cut eye holes to use as full-face mask. Soak in vinegar and wear over mouth as an improvised defense against pepper spray and tear gas.
» HELP YOUR FELLOW ANONS. If you see someone down check for breathing or neck/back injuries. If they can get up on their own help them up. DO NOT DRAG SOMEONE WITH A BACK INJURY TO THEIR FEET.
» Turn off location services on mobile devices while tweeting, posting updates, or uploading photos.
» Carry only an ID, cash, emergency medical info, and important phone numbers in your wallet.
» Contact people to let them know where you'll be and what to do if you cannot get back in touch.
» Record all interactions with officers. Have friends around to ditch data with.
» Remain calm: Do not incite, fight, or push. Public sentiment will favor the peaceful.
» Do not wear contact lenses. They trap pepper spray. Not fun.
» Cover up. Pepper spray isn't just for your eyes.
» Remove piercings and jewelry. Your nipples will thank you.

 

The disclaimer is priceless:

DISCLAIMER: All advice offered on this bandana should not be construed as legal council. Consult a lawyer in the event of any involvement with the law. If you cite a bandana as your legal council in court you will be laughed at by a man in a wig.

Costco had a role in bringing down Osama bin Laden

While President Obama, Joe Biden, Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton et al were sweating it out in the White House Situation Room, waiting for the Navy Seals to complete their mission:

A staffer went to Costco and came back with a mix of provisions — turkey pita wraps, cold shrimp, potato chips, soda.

Geronimo!
