So let me throw some more confusion out: You have to like them to find out more information about this amazing Cannonball Twitter run, but like most contests, the rules say no purchase required to enter. In other words, if the proverbial *we* have now assigned a value to likes and followers, then my giving up a like has some value to the brand. (Otherwise, why would they be asking for it?) By doing so though, they’ve unknowingly lumped that value in with the idea of purchase. They’re not the first brand to apply old school sweepstakes thinking to social networks, but for a brand focused on details, it’s one that highlights a lack of seamless integration.
So says the Assistant Health Commissioner for the HIV/AIDS Bureau behind the commercial that has people squeemish – squeemish I say! (:24 for the graphicnicity!) All that matters is that people talk, right? Who cares if the spot is misguided and ignores non-gay HIV/AIDS victims. “Hey world! Lets make a PSA video talking about poverty and only show black people! - That won't be offensive or discriminatory at all!” – HenhousetheRed What needs to be addressed is the mindset of the younger generation (regardless of their sexual preference) that HIV is not a death sentence anymore and that it’s okay to get an STD because hey, at least it’s not AIDS! Sorry, but if AIDS or HIV is still very much a global threat, then don’t you have a responsibility to represent all the groups potentially affected? SO SAYS YOUTUBE: PEOPLE ARE TALKING! As usual, that’s the weak argument people fall back on to justify shock and awe. “Well coming from somebody living with AIDS, I believe this commercial is GREAT, NYC Health is realizing that HIV rates with young men are up, hence only young men in the commercial and yes it is fact that gay men are much more likely to get HIV/AIDS than straight men.Especially here in NYC ,and everything said in that commercial is based on fact. The ad gets the a point across, Its never just HIV there is no cure for AIDS.” – NYC212010 HIV /AIDS does cause effects on the body regardless of medications. State Farm’s deathscare squad is back, just in time for Christmas. (Wait, are we still saying Christmas?) Enjoy the fun as they run through a few commonplace scenarios where homeowners get stupid.
I will say we've been lucky in all our tree-trimming years to not have had any fires, save for the collateral damage of glass ornaments hitting wood floors thanks to our cat.* Closest to holiday fire stories I got: When I was six and change, our neighbor took out his second floor after using a propane torch to peel some paint. (Their Christmas sucked and man, the fire smell is almost impossible to get rid of.) Then just a few years ago a guy with a snow plow kit on his 4x4 hit a curb at Town Fair Tire across from us. Time from smoldering of kit to fully engulfed vehicle? Less than four minutes - for true! Which leads me to the part where State Farm should do one where people can see what happens in actual unedited time before a room flashover occurs and just how quickly a room goes up. Oh, and the cord thing: Not really sure CVS and Lowe’s sell a lot of those knock-off cords (UL THAT SHIT KIDS), but, don’t be a dumbass and bury them under a carpet or where people walk. (These clips really didn’t need the music, but in case you need a version with a more dramatic backing track that builds to a fiery crescendo. Even before Dean Winchester (who is the ultimate of this character type), Jensen Ackles always seemed to play snarky, slightly dangerous woobies with massive family issues.See Smallville one year earlier, and Dark Angel before that. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is typecast as an African.He has a British accent, but he always performs with a Nigerian accent, apparently off of the success of his breakout role as Adebisi in Oz. When Alan Alda started playing villains, it was an example of Playing Against Type.
Do you have a foreign guy in your script? If so, then Armand Assante is your man.Woody Allen as a neurotic, aging womanizer.Over time, they've arguably become his type.
