I’m pretty tolerant of many advertisements, but when one doesn’t seem to have a point, a purpose or any call to action, I question whether the controversy of it really helps.

Many ads have managed to do/say something that’s not politically correct, and get people talking. In my opinion, this is just someone’s idea to poke fun in poor taste.

So you know, it was meant to be for a church somewhere to “get people talking about God and church”…

…please.

Sometimes you have to take a step back, look at the whirlwind that we call life, and think about how you got to where you are- even if its in the shower of a Chicago hotel room.

Just a few years ago, I had aspirations to have a career in advertising. What started as a comment to my mom about a Disney brochure, quickly became a goal to work in the creative field. From Ohio, to Michigan, I greatly appreciate everyone who has guided me and helped me to learn, including my friends, family and instructors/teachers.

Now, I find myself at a beautiful hotel, preparing for a video shoot tomorrow out on the streets of Chicago.

Seeing the last four years of education turning into something is a very encouraging thing.

Today is the 5th day of Hanukkah.

I love the holidays for many reasons- one of them being my family’s celebration of both Hanukkah and Christmas.

Spin a dreidel, eat a latke and light the menorah- if you happen to have any of those things handy.

I’m not the biggest college football fan around, but when you mix athletics with aesthetics, you’ve got my attention. Check out these packages that reflect the image and history of 10 historic college football teams.

From the site: “Nike has partnered with ten elite football programs to launch the new Nike Pro Combat Uniform, the lightest football uniform ever made. In launching this innovative system of dress, Nike designers immersed themselves in the rich history of each program to bring inspirational cues to the look and design of each uniform.”

Unfortunately, many great teams aren’t in the ten, including Michigan, USC and Notre Dame. I can only assume it’s because they have a connection to Adidas or another company.

10 things to always remember for Christmas: By Adam Barr

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:01:00 -0500

1: Get your ugly Christmas sweaters early. they go fast. And if you can’t find one at Goodwill, Old Navy sweaters are pretty ugly as well.

2: Mistletoe doesn’t exist. It’s just a by-product of movies, advertising and punch-lines. Be honest, when was the last time you actually saw mistletoe?

3: Those old claymation movies are great, but stay away from the little drummer boy- unless your creeped-out tolerance is pretty high.

4: If the eggnog is non alcoholic, you’re wasting your time. And your calorie count.

5: It’s cooler not to decorate, than to decorate with blue lights.

6: Gingerbread houses are lame. Any put-together cookie that you can’t eat is lame.

7: Don’t try the cheese ball. They only come around once a year for a reason.

8: Santa doesn’t exist.

9: If you’re going to quote Will Ferrel’s “Elf”, please do it in moderation.

10: On second thought, don’t quote “Elf”. It’s really annoying unless he does it.

“The Tortoise, The Rabbit, The Toad”

The Tortoise, the Rabbit, the Toad
walked and hopped down the road.
The Rabbit was first,
The Tortoise was last.
In the middle was the silly old Toad.

I asked as I passed, “Toad, why do you stay
in the middle and no other place?”
The answer he gave me, so smart and so wise
brought an elephant-sized smile to my face.

He said, “Dear boy, if a coyote should come
to eat up the three that you see,
he will come from the front, or he’ll come from the back,
and neither place he shall see me.”

And so he hopped on, sandwiched, so safely,
between the too fast and too slow.
I thought, as I walked, again down the road,
“Toad is the smartest I know.”

Rich Rod Compared Michigan's Season to Hurricane Katrina

jschlosser:

Since that’s so bad, here are some other ones he probably had in his back pocket.

Please don’t be offended. We’re just showing the ridiculousness of what Rich Rod said, showing how inappropriate it was.

From Bill and Jon and Adam and Alex.

7. “I felt like our team was Michael Jackson. We had better records in the 90s.”

6. “Our season was like slavery. We were in great physical shape, but we just got whipped.”

5. “I felt like we were on the Challenger. We got our heads up in the clouds and then everything blew up.”

4. “We were like Martin Luther; our only big win was against the Catholics.”

3. “I felt like everyone else’s defense was Bill Clinton: they just kept on denying scores.”

2. “Our season was like Princess Diana dying. We just had some really bad drives there are the end.”

1. “We were like Abe Lincoln. We just couldn’t finish a play.” (Thanks, Jim Rome)
