香煙&大屏幕
2008年9月26日 亞歷克斯
在大家知道關於稱癌症之前的那件小的事，抽香煙實際上是涼快的。 不，在涼快之外。 您是人。 為什麼？ 由於所有電影明星做了它。
結果不是的巧合，但更可能a 多產廣告的安排在演播室、演員和香煙公司之間.
在1927年和1951年之間，主要演播室和煙草公司至少成為了夥伴 215場香煙廣告戰.
瘋狂。 公司像幸運的罷工和其他抽煙在每個場面和甚而談論的得到的星「有益於」他們喜愛的組裝o』靶垛。 今天，科學打敗煙草公司，種類，并且多數人有枯萎。 沒有其他電影不喜歡早餐在Tiffany的或法國連接，当香煙搖晃從主演的嘴唇。
現在它是所有關於產品安置和瀰漫，下意識做廣告。 安培小時，怎麼產業如進步…
Tucker Carlson擁有議員
2007年2月13日 亞歷克斯生活傾向於時常投擲curveballs，因此我嘗試到準備著的逗留。 然而，沒人可能準備我的事是這錄影 Tucker Carlson 放置一口頭smackdown在極端保守的議員， Rep. 標記Souder.
這個夾子是偉大的在許多水平上：
- 它總是看見一個政治空話袋子的樂趣飛濺總胡說答復非常直接向前問題
- Tucker的躊躇滿志的表示在採訪的多數期間必須激怒為議員
- Tucker承認知道「許多」偶然罐吸煙者，并且平告訴他錯誤的議員
我會感覺壞為標記Souder，但他帶來了此在他自己。 它透明他是結果，當政治議程和修辭追上合理時，想法的頭腦。
果渣剛玉粉 有一根骨頭採摘與這個人。

大麻政策項目 在被投入關在監牢裡由於大麻拘捕的正常，非暴力美國人上創造他們的最新的廣告把面孔放。
檢查 數字在廣告之後 真正地瞭解MPP設法得到的簡單(強有力的)點。
不幸地，它似乎廣告為出版物被拒绝了。

I Don’t Have Any Marijuana: This one pretty much sells itself. A fine example of the human race brought to us courtesy of the show Cops. One thing that did catch my eye was a comment below this video:
Smoking pot doesn’t make you stupid, but “stupid” people smoke pot. You can’t blame pot. People are in charge of themselves. Pot has not made this man unintelligent, as much as people want to believe that’s the cause. That logic is a falacy.
Looks like there’s hope for humankind after all.
Cardboard House Art: An interesting photo set of artwork on cardboard shelters from the mid-90’s in Shinjuku, Japan. The combination of inspiring art and the sad back story explaining how it was all wiped away makes for an unique read. [via Pink Tentacle]

Time Warner Pulls Marijuana Ads
August 22nd, 2006 by Alex
Lenny Swerdlow, the groups displeased president, had this to say:
They are censoring speech that they don’t approve of. They should not be doing that. They should be in the business of fostering new ideas, not trying to squelch them.
Time Warner is allowed to pull ads, but with 14 days notice, and Mr. Swerdlow found out only after a reporter called him regarding the subject and what his comments were. This is a slippery slope that Time Warner is choosing. Removing ads from circulation which are offensive, derogatory, or racist makes complete sense. However, pulling ads from circulation simply over a disagreement in political or topical viewpoints dangerously slants what we do and do not see.
This brings up the question, what other ads have local Time Warner branches pulled? The public never knows of and never sees the informative messages that were intended. Only time will tell if these actions will come back to haunt those station chiefs that censor what Americans are allowed to watch. If you don’t like a message, simply change the channel, but don’t take away someone elses right to be informed on that same subject.

Dude, You’ve Got RSS Advertising!
July 28th, 2006 by Alex
If you like to read interesting stuff online, then there’s a high chance Boing Boing is in your RSS feed reader. Recently, RSS advertising has been gaining in popularity and Boing Boing has jumped on the ship. Above is an example why this can be dangerous.
First, you’ve got an article explaining how a Dell laptop battery set itself on fire without warning, filled a company office with smoke, and caused the fire department to be called. Directly below it, you’ve got an advertisement for Dell products.
Whoops.
