Comments on recent news articles

There are a couple of news articles that I would like to say a few words about:

Upon further review, it appears that Ford will be reinstating their advertisements of Jaguar and Land Rover in gay magazines. This coming a week after deciding to pull the ads from gay magazine. To the VP of Advertising at Ford: duh! Now, I'm no expert in the content or quality of gay magazines, however, when Ford decides that they want to pull ads from a magazine that includes the market that they (or any other company) would desperately want to have in there demographic, that's probably the wrong decision to make. Kudos to Ford for turning on their instant replay monitors and realizing that this was a bad decision to begin with. I would only begin to suspect that Jaguar and Land Rover is exactly the type of brand that one would want to market in a magazine that is dedicated, and read by households pulling in dual incomes (very high dual incomes, I might add).

Good luck to all my friends living in the NYC this week and for the rest of the Holiday Season. With the impending Transit Strike, the Holidays should be just Merry!

In sports news, sounds like Nomaaaah is having a difficult time about making up his mind about which team to join this offseason. He hasn't been this confused since Mia Hamm gave him the ultimatum of marrying her or continuing his journey to becoming the best shortstop to play the game (p.s. if you can't tell I'm a Red Sox fan after reading that last sentance, it's probably time to stop perusing blogs and go back to work). That's it for today. I'll have more tomorrow!
