The Most Racist Advertisements Ever!

Unfortunately America has a history of extremely racist advertisements since the beginning of commercialism. While I do not condone these ad's I thought it would be interesting to see just how far we have come, and how so far we have left to go.

















                                                          This was for an eyeglasses ad.

We Have a Winner!

While I am not excited about Obama winning, I still think with all his faults he's a hell of a lot better then Romney! Seriously, that guys track record scared the crap outta me!

I really hope one day we can expand our political horizon by adding third parties, since I feel this is truly what America needs now more then ever. The independent/green party had a very big turn out this year, so much so that the numbers came back showing that Jill Stein got the most votes of either Green Party Candidate in 2004 or 2008! So, were making some huge strides, and I hope next time around we can have a third party, but most importantly, I really hope next time around we can have a woman in power!

Here's an article about Jill Stein and Gary Johnson, and what this means for Democracy:

Here's Romney's sore loser Speech
(He didn't have a concession speech ready, hence the awkward shortness.lol)

Obama and Romney: Either way were screwed!

For those of you who still are not sure of who to vote for, just take these two articles into debate about Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, I feel these say everything that I need to say, and why tomorrow were screwed either way.

for the record, I voted for Jill Stein.Originally I was gonna vote for Ron Paul, but I guess he bowed out in August.If I can't vote for Ron, then I feel Jill is a good alternative. She's believes in everything I stand for and I truly believe she would do all the things she says, without screwing american's over in the process.
here's a link to her site showing what she stands for www.jillstein.org/issues

and here's some links to the articles on Obama and Romney.

The Most Hilarious Advertisement's of the 1950's

Here's a couple of my favorite hilariously wrong ad's from the 50's. hope you enjoy the political incorrectness! Woohoo!

Twitter Profile of the Month: Angry Hulk Hogan

One of my favorite trends on twitter are the constant celebrity parody profiles that keep popping up. While some of them are kinda funny, most of them are down right lame, and once and awhile a parody account comes around that really captures your eye, and makes you laugh your ass off!

 Ladies and gentleman I would like to introduce you to my favorite Twitter profile of the month:

Vote Vote Vote!

On November 6th America will vote for the next "President" of the united states of america....and I couldn't be more unenthusiastic about either candidate. In all the years I've been voting (I'm 29 mind you) I have never felt more strongly that we need a third party now more then ever! While I did admit that last time I did vote for McCain, not because I'm republican (which I'm not.) But to me, he was the closest thing to a sane candidate we have had in awhile, and agree with his politics or not, he actually had some very good ideas about what he would to do to help the economy and create jobs.I would like to believe that he was very sincere in his speeches, and actually meant what he was saying. It's interesting that even though McCain was the republican candidate he agreed almost 100% with everything Obama was saying. I don't know when it happened, but somewhere years ago Republicans and Democrats became strange bedfellows.It seemed at the time, that no matter who I voted for the same outcome ( for good) was going to happen for the USA.


However the lines seem to be getting wider and wider between the two camps this time around, and it has become the blame game to the tenth degree.Both men are not perfect, and I don't expect my president to be perfect, It's impossible to please everyone.What I do expect from my president is to be honest in his intentions on how he's going to fix the unemployment and home foreclosures.What his stance on pro-choice is, if they will keep funding government assistance for the needy, and Universal Healthcare.Now I know many of you wont agree with me on the last two I mentioned. But I feel it is the government's job to help the American's who are down on their luck and need the help. Sure some people abuse the system, but I'm sure more American's are seriously struggling more then we would like to admit. And I do believe in universal healthcare from the stance that nobody should be denied HEALTHCARE!! So what if I have to put in money for something I may or may not use, I would be happy to help my fellow man in knowing that I helped them get the medical assistance they need.

While I am still not sure on who I am voting for, whether it be Obama, Romey or Some Third Party Candidates.So I decided to post the debates among other videos for the candidates I am interested in and let them speak for themselves. Maybe these can help you in your voting process as well.

Retro and Records.

Hey guys, I decided to change the look up a little around here, since the black and white was depressing the hell outta me! lol. The new look is inspired by my love of vintage 50's commercialism (with a splash of pop art of course) to set the tone for my blog.I feel there's something very endearing  about how completely politically incorrect, misguided and nostalgic this era is.I'm sure my grandparent's would seriously disagree, but for me it hark ens back to simpler times, even though those times were nothing but an idealist fantasy of what the reality actually was.With the state of this economy, this painfully bad election process, and the apathy of the american public in general give me "Leave it to beaver" any day! Between the clothing,the music, the t.v.shows, the artwork, the advertisements, and the furniture it is one of my favorite decades (even though it set feminism back a couple of years, with the wife in the kitchen mentality.)
Even with all the flaws, If I could afford to wear vintage everyday you can bet your ass I would!


On a different note, here's a amazing throw back website I found a couple of weeks ago called "Kiddie Records Weekly" that has digital downloads of iconic children's classic records (some of these I grew up listening too and was thrilled to revisit them!) Some of them you can download, some of them you cannot, but either way it's a wonderful website and a must for retro fans!
