Entertain whatever political beliefs ya want, but
realize not everyone in your targeted customer base will agree, so
maybe...slap some camo on your Reich-Wing nutjob talking point
dumbass horseshit and also: suck it.
As many of you know, your
hero and mine (that's me, sillies) forgot his ipod today, and was therefore
reduced to listening to (*cough*)commercial(*gag*)radio(*WHEEZ*) for the
first time in YEARS. While that experience alone was as 1st-world
horrible as you might imagine, it did expose me to something I've
not gone through in a LONG time: local business advertising.
One local business (I'll not drop its name because it would have...ltd...recognition and likely doesn't care because it can probably...af-FORD...to lose me as a customer) has a spot in heavy rotation, touting the benefits of its particular brand vs. others. The main thrust: Obama sucks, so buy something you can...af-FORD...and trust, because the other guys are somehow tied to that dang ol' ni...politician. The spot specifically went out of its way to refer to GMC as "Gub'mint Motors" SEVERAL times because of the auto bailout from several years ago. (Of course, it fails to mention GM credited the bailout for its survival, that GM paid the money back IN FULL, and is now solvent and stronger than ever due to intelligent intervention during an historic economic upheaval brought on by deregulation and worldwide economic panic exacerbated by Bush the Lesser...but I digress and wax badass.)

The narrator THEN touts the
"fact" their af-FORD-able brand didn't take a bailout,
which was true...that time. However, it conveniently left out one
thing: Ford (OH! WHAT A GIVEAWAY!) had kept $28B (IIRC...this ain't a research paper) in reserve from
the time they DID take out a shitload of gub'mint help a few years
earlier, which they used to ride out the worldwide economic
calamity brought on by bush and his bidness-fellating cronies.
But that was hardly the
most egregious shit-stain in the spot.
Oh, no...they had to outdo
the out-doers....
THEN, the narrator goes through
a list of supposed Obama-specific failures/broken promises that read like something freshly-shat from the deepest and most crooked of Rupert Murdoch's bowels and birthed from his foul haunches: failure
to turn around the economy (...yeah...the DOW went from 7,000 and
falling to breaking 13,000 in just a couple of years, inflation is
in check, and interest rates have fallen while the housing market
has rebounded); failure to bring economic stability (see above), and failure
to "bring peace to the streets of Chicago," whatever to Murgatroid THAT means....
So buy Ford...only for
a...ltd...(see what I did there? Protected my ass from recrimination, I did)...time.
Because: OBAMA-BOO!
So guess what, Fuckstick
McBlowmestein? You.Ain't.EVER.Gettin'.Money.From.Me.
P.S. Neither is any
asshole who posts gunshops should display signs telling Obama voters
to leave because they're too stupid to own guns. That's gonna SUCK
for someone when I upgrade my duty weapon to a .45 (along with the
accompanying gear) AND replace my trusty Mossburg with a Saiga.
P.S.S. Business people,
you serve a WIDE range of customers. The local economy is too small
to piss off very many.
