With the immense world-wide popularity of the Harry Potter franchise it was only a matter of time before one of the major theme parks decided to cash in on its’ success. Universal Studios Florida is the lucky winner and its’ Wizarding World of Harry Potter is set to open sometime in December of 2009.

Ok, I’ve become somewhat of an Anglophile lately, but I’m sure many have to agree that American tv has just been plain crappy lately.

When they start promoting a remake of Beverly Hills 90210 that includes some of the original cast, you know you have hit rock bottom and are desperate for new show ideas!

First off, let me open up by saying that I never thought I’d ever be defending Big Tobacco, in fact, of everything I’ve done in this life, this could actually be the dirtiest I’ve ever felt. Hell, I don’t even smoke. Not cigarettes anyway.

But one of those “truth” ads has been slightly mislabeled, either that or truth has been redefined. When you call a public service ad campaign “Truth” people are gonna expect…I don’t know… 100% Veracity from the PSA ad.

Now, I’m not going to slander (or is that libel?) Truth or Whudafxup, and say that they took the truth & presented it with an anti-tobacco slant. Whether they did or didn’t I don’t care, I got tired of them & their whining after that theatre campaign with the big musical number right before the previews. I’m just going to attribute THIS particular inaccuracy to either sloppy research, or just them being too young & naïve.

The Ad that I’m referring to is the one where the dude dresses up like some sort of mutant puppet (Dare we say Muppet?) & walks up to some adults in what seems to be some sort of urban business center & gets treated rudely & heads over to a park where these kids start playing with him. They make a point of how tobacco execs agreed to stay away from kids movies & then one of them had their product featured in “the Muppet Movie” .

All I can say when I heard this news in the car in the morning was WTF? This lady is really demented and she is in our space program? NASA really has to do better background checks or give their astronauts psyche tests. Kind of makes you wonder if any weird thoughts go through their heads while they are up there in zero gravity. One day they might think its funny and fire some experimental top-secret laser weapon at us. Now that’s a scary thought! Well anyways here’s the story in a nutshell.

If you were watching the news last night you probably know about the mess in Boston involving LED displays of the ATHF characters that were mistaken for BOMBS in the area. It got so out of control that it lead to the closure of some city streets and bridges. The two heads of this apparently bungled marking campaign were arrested.
