Nike Got Back

I ran across a ridiculous flash ad on a MSN Health & Fitness page. I’ve included two screenshots below:

I'm proud of my butt and I think it's proud of me. Just do it.

What was your impression of the ad? Did you say to yourself, “yeah, I’m proud of the way my body looks”, or was your reaction more along the lines of, “what the freakin’ heck?” Note to Nike marketing: file this ad under “things not to place next to ‘Just do it’ .”

Nike might as well have written “Just tap it.” Jeez.

Slavery Rampant in Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing Article, page1: Tom Enslaves Immigrants. Tom Nook, local shop owner, recently forced another uniwitting immigrant into servitude.
Animal Crossing Article, page2: Tom's MOD is to offer the new resident seemingly free housing, only to demand payment from the now standed victim
Animal Crossing Article, page3: The amount demanded by Nook is far above market price, even though the abode itself is often a burnt out wooden shack.
Animal Crossing Article, page4: The victim is then forced to work for Tom in order to pay off the dwelling, though he has yet to pay out any sum of money.
Animal Crossing Article, page5: Local authorities have long ignored the situation with the mayor refusing all interviews till special events or holidays. [AP]
The Mayor refused to commentRequests for interviews were ignored .
All requests for interviews with the mayor were ignored,
though the Mayor was present, sleeping in his office.

Note: yes, I know it should be ’stranded’. typing a report in the field with a stylus is tough.

Just in time for the holidays, too. Chalk another one up to marketing execs for making punk the diluted crap it is now. Now if only they could convince Lemmy of Motorhead to play the Ace of Spades with one… that’d be wicked…
