Product Placement: Political Power Prevails

Nobody Cares–

–That I was bored of politics yesterday and watched this little documentary. I many never drink Coke again…and I’ll tell you in a minute about that.

The guy that made this movie, (forgive me if don’t I tell you– I REALLY don’t want to remember his name) reminds me of my next door neighbor. He always borrows my lawn tools and forgets to give them back. Only in America can a guy make a movie about getting major corporations to give him thousands of dollars to put their products IN the movie, which is about him getting $1.5 million dollars to make what is basically—just  a big advertisement for their products.

After it was done, I had to think: Now, what did I learn?

1. POM (the major sponsor) is good for men’s erections. (Yes, that was the big one.)

2. Product placement in movies can sometimes help carry the cost when the budgets are so big.

3. Advertising is almost never honest.

4.. Quentin Tarantino has a hard time getting ANY major spongers.

5. Even Ralph Nader is a sucker for free stuff, bribes, and payoffs.

6. If you just even LOOK at the logo of Coca Cola, your endorphins in your brain will shoot sky high, you will start salivating, fall on the floor, crave wild sex with Kevin Costner, and need to be taken away by the police…..

Just kidding—You might not do that , but you will want to drink one. The MRI’s prove it.

7. I also learned that they know if you get kids young enough loving McDonalds, you can program them to want McDonalds for the rest of their lives. I ought to know: whenever I’m stressed I want McDonalds. In fact, I had it for dinner tonight…a quarter pounder (no cheese) with a Coke.  My mother must have bought me McDonalds when I was sick when I was a kid, because it’s the only food that makes me feel better.

Flu? MCDONALDS! Stuffy nose? MCDONALDS! Hangover? MCDONALDS! Don’t want to cook? MCDONALDS! Okay, that last one, in my house, is considered an ailment.

Obviously this means…OMG!  I’m addicted!

So…Nobody asks: How can a “logo” put your brain in addiction mode?

This from Kevin Trudeau’s Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About.”

Food manufacturers are knowingly putting chemicals into the food that cause the consumer to become physically addicted to it. Chemicals are being added to our food that actually make us gain weight. Since our brains are mostly fat, a large percentage of these chemicals accumulate there over the years.
So, eating fast food does actually build up…a brain full of fat, which they say…makes you dumber.  
 ***
Does this mean you are getting information from a fat brain? Can you READ this and not gain weight? Is that Big Mac that I ate when I was ten still in my cerebellum? Is THAT why we have all those ADD’s and ATT’s, and people who can’t remember who’s Vice President?
***

And if commercials about food, cars, cigarettes, vodka, drugs, and car insurance aren’t enough to drive us all into zombie- fat no-brain land, let’s not forget all the subliminal political messages they put in all the sitcoms and movies.

They are not only advertising products, they are advertising political parties.

Last week Michelle Obama made a guest appearance on Nickelodium to push the Obama’s big campaign suck up to the military. (see video below) Yes, they have to get some white votes somehow.  

They could be doing this for two reason: It’s an election year, and they want to convince the conservatives..whose families are in the military, that they like them, or 2. They are planning to attack Iran and need more soldiers before the year is out. The ones coming home will not want to go back out there: back to the deserts, and the camels, and the Muslim busting stress, where a McDonald’s Super-Sized Big Mac Meal, topped off with a cold delicious chocolate shake is hard to come by.

Can you blame them?

Either way, when the top family in the country can manipulative the masses with guest appearances on TV shows…Nobody Wonders: Who pays who? Does the President always get free air time, when others have to PAY to appear?

How fair is that? Is Newt Gingrich going to get free air time on MTV? Also, did Michelle Obama PAY to have the kids call her “Your excellency”? Or did she…demand it be written in the script?Nobody Knows.

I suggest what’s-his-name make that his NEXT big movie. If he does that, I might even pay to see it.

And then… I’ll surely remember his name.

Michelle Obama Thanks YOU!

Nobody Flashes

I got this email today, and I couldn’t wait to post it. It must be an old one, so I added a few paragraphs of my own to the end. The author was not mentioned..but he/she is a mighty fine pundit.  What makes this satire so relevant is that Obama is going to RUN against the mean, rich, nasty people..of whom he happens to be the perfect example of one.

Enjoy! (Thanks to Pattie)

Dear American Taxpayer

For the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard-working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars for my vacation in Spain. My daughter Sasha, several long time family friends, my personal staff and several friends had a wonderful time.

Honestly, you just haven’t lived until you’ve stayed in $2,500.00 dollar per night, 3 story villa at a five star luxury hotel.

Thank you also for Air Force Two, and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times. By the way, if you happen to be visiting the Cost del Sol, I highly recommend the Bueunaventura Plaza in Marbella: a great lobster with rice and oysters! I’m ashamed to admit the lobsters we ate in Martha’s Vineyard were not quite as tasty, but what can you do if you’re not in Europe? You have to just grin and bear it? 

Air Force Two (which costs $11, 351 dollars an hour to operate according to the Government Accounting Office reports) only used 47, 500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere ,1,032 tons of CO2. These are only rough estimates but we are close. That’s quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars, and drive less too, so we can lesson our combined carbon footprint.

I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling hard to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet, so I do appreciate your sacrifices and do hope you find work soon.

I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago, I just had to get away for a few days.

Cordially,

Michelle (Moochelle) Obama

PS Thank you as well for the $4 billion dollar trip to India from which we just returned.

PPS Thank you too for that vacation trip to Martha’s Vineyard: it was fabulous! And thanks for that second smaller jet that took our dog Bo to Martha’s Vineyard so that we and the children could have him with us while we were away from the White House for eleven days. After all, we couldn’t take him on Air Force One because he might pee on some wires or something.

PPPS..Oh, I almost forgot to say thanks also for our two-week trip to Hawaii for Christmas. Obama had to work, so I had to fly out early because we had a 7,000 square foot house that our staff had to get ready. The expense was a bit more this time, over $4 million, and unfortunately we couldn’t move the White House there, as we both love it there, but we want the taxpayers to know, that we make sacrifices too.

The White House will stay in Washington for now.

LOVE YA!

Remember, we all have to share the pain of these economic times equally. Love to redistribute! Share the wealth! Send this to every American and please vote for our second term

I haven’t been in Bora Bora, YET!
