VIRGINIA IS FOR LOVERS?


WARNING: SOME OF THE LINKS IN THIS BLOG MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO PRUDES
So can someone explain the Republican's obsession with sex and gay people? 

 Virginia's Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is pushing to get their anti-sodomy laws back on the books and enforced claiming it's to protect kids. 

 The law reads:

 If any person carnally knows in any manner any brute animal, or carnally knows any male or female person by the anus or by or with the mouth, or voluntarily submits to such carnal knowledge, he or she shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony.

 Now I agree with brute animal part because that's just nasty I don't care how much you love animals lol... but the rest of it would criminalize some of my favorite sex, even between a married heterosexual couple, well except for good ole vaginal insertion. That part about "any person" does not distinguish heterosexuals from homosexuals so by definition cunninglingus and fellatio are included. The felony comes with a sentence of up to one year. 

 Is he CRAZY? 

 I don't live in Virginia but I can't imagine it's so puritanical that this is popular. I mean if I had a dollar for every Republican representative that engaged in this felony in the last year I'd have enough to buy that new car I've been eyeing. 

 No, what this is, is a thinly veiled attempt to outlaw gay sex by casting such a wide net it would probably catch the rest of us and most of Virginia. The worst part is it excludes all of the young girls who are victims of vaginal rape. If he truly wanted to protect children it would be about children and not this nonsense. This definitely fits into my earlier blog about the 3 Things That Will Doom the GOP. 

 The only way this would have helped the GOP is if it was a national law when my third favorite president, Bill Clinton was in office, then he would have been out of luck. Sorry Mr. President, I couldn't help myself but even in 1998 the Republicans were focused on issues of distraction instead of the national interest, least we forget in the midst of all this turmoil this man managed to not only balance the budget but left office with a surplus that was squandered by the Bush Administration.

 Now here we are again, 2013 at a time when this country needs jobs and solutions to any number of issues and the GOP is again preoccupied with sex.

 I thought one of the standards of the GOP was smaller government well my friends this ain't smaller government and they don't belong in my bedroom.

THIS PEPSI IS FLAT

Big surprise, Pepsi pulled it's tone deaf " Live For Now " Ad starring socialite and reality personality Kendall Jenner in what had to be an expensive production complete with an anthem "Lions” by Skip Marley, large cast and several days of shooting, editing and revisions I'm sure. This stuff doesn't just fall together without some effort and coordination. I mention all of this because clearly A LOT of thought went into this production that fell so very flat. As an ad guy I can almost see the brief in my head:  Capture the passion and energy of the recent protests without any of the controversy. Yeah right. Pepsi failed to realize in order to inspire true authentic passion on a topic like this you HAVE to pick a side.  YOU HAVE TO PICK A SIDE.   You have to either risk being controversial in controversial times or stay out of the CONVERSATION all together, you know... to reference their own ad. Deciding whether to weigh in or not is...

ANTHONY WEINER

S o as a Marketer I am fascinated by politics. Building local and national brands, gauging public sentiment and adjusting strategy to optimize results. Politics is a Marketer’s dream.   Anthony Weiner's recent bid for Mayor of New York is an interesting case study on Brand self destruction. I have to admit I wasn't paying attention to the story until I saw his bid had legs and his greatest opponent was himself. Now I know that a great many of you are reading this from outside the US so allow me to briefly lay out the whole sordid tale of Anthony Weiner's damaged brand and how he tried to save it. Anthony David Weiner Former Democratic Congressman from New York Previously fervent bachelor with notable affairs before marriage Preoccupation with sexting revealed on the Opie and Andy radio show Insistent denials coupled with a claim his Twitter account was hacked by opponents Investigation started by private security firm costing Weiner about $45 More p...

TRAYVON

W hat we witnessed last night July 13, 2013 doesn't even come close to resembling justice yet it’s the system we live under; a system that is sending a clear and not so subtle message that people of color are not equally protected under the law. Do not tell me this wasn't racial. Do not insult my intelligence with fairy tales of equality designed to lull  disenfranchised masses into compliance. If the ethnicities had been reversed the Sanford police department would NOT have had to yield to pressure to arrest the shooter, it would have been done. By and large when the shooter looks like me he is arrested or shot in haste. And for those that believe because Zimmerman has Hispanic roots it negates the race issue, I’ll remind you that this country is all about PERCEPTION . You ARE what you appear to be. Your book IS judged by its cover. And to the disgrace of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s dream, you are prejudged by the color of your skin way before most can even get t...
