[EL PRESIDENTE]

Really? Is it the foundation for a better life?

I kind of disagree. But let's see what you guys think.

Anschultz also pretty much runs MLS. AEG had ownership of five of the clubs (Chicago, Colorado, DC, New York, and San Jose) and own the Galaxy, as well as 75% of Houston.

I'm not defending the organization, but has anyone seen anything in the ads or on Fox News directly related to the ads being anti-gay, or any of the other things they're accused of by your anti-Fox WWW site?

I agree. Shit like that is creepy.

They're "crazy" and "creepy" because of "the way they carry themselves"? I don't get it.

THEY ARE JUST WEIRD.

How it the hell could you have a problem with this website? http://www.values.com/

It talks about basic human values. Please explain.

I thought these ads were LDS-based. My Mormon neighbors seem to think that they are. Churches can't actually advertise, but they can advertise their message.

Plus, as someone who is not at all religious, I don't find anything wrong with those ads. They actually have a decent message, unless being nice to people is no longer a decent message.

yes. the message is just pushing their morality upon everyone. its a little too preachy for my tastes.

"let's elect the retard as homecoming queen because she has down syndrome and it will make her feel better"

"i don't want to win this basketball game, I'd rather tell the referee that the ball went off my hand in the championship game"

"hey look at that little kid on stage at this high priced classical music concert. I'm glad I paid $200 to hear a spoiled brat play chopsticks. Lets encourage him to do this more often"

"hey look, my dad has agressive cancer, go ahead and die because I've had a good life"

I never see these ads, and I watch a fair bit of TV. Weird.

That was a true story. Plus, you'll notice that the "retard" even has some non-retarded friends!

I'm sure it happens a lot.
they should just give it to the hottest slut in the school.

i just find the commercials very "i'm better than you because i'm moral" kind of scthick.

It's a fine line between being motivational/aspirational for the viewer and coming off as condescending.

[EL PRESIDENTE]

maybe it reminds me too much of the brady bunch. dunno if we need commercials to remind us not to be total assholes. maybe we do. oh well.

Well, they are better than you, at least in terms of their morals. And you're better than them, based on your morals.

I'd like to see a Foundation for a Pornstar Life campaign, starring Charlie Sheen.

Somebody could run up and push down the Down's girl, and then pawn the crown on Ebay for some meth.

Or the kid who cheats to win could meet up with bookies in an alley after the game, getting his payment for throwing the big game.

How about the kid who is in the concert (I hate that ad, btw) gets heckled by a mob of drunk frat guys.

Or, in the last one, some young, hot, gold digger starts dating dear old Dad dying of cancer, gets Dad to change his will by performing unspeakable acts for him, leaving all to her, and then she bails to Belize with her personal trainer at the gym after getting all of the loot.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

that would be pretty sweet.
