Mattress company airs offensive 9/11 commercial

quote:

A Texas mattress company has sparked intense outrage after it aired a commercial promoting its “Twin Tower sale,” which ended with a pair of employees toppling two towers of mattresses, days before the 15th anniversary of 9/11.

YKNOW THERES ONLY ONE DIRECTION I KNOW AND THATS DRIVIN STRAIGHT TO THE NET

That is Breezewood, PA, a place that is basically the biggest, longest used rest stop in the country, in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains. Nobody lives there, and it basically only exists now because it's been used as a rest-stop for travelers for centuries (that and the weird funding error that led to a portion of I-70 using surface streets). There are probably more hotels than there are permanent residents of the area.

I think this image from WIkipedia sums it up pretty well, particularly the contrast between the forest and the concrete/metal shitshow:

In the north-east-megaopolis, sprawl is literally everywhere. There is virtually no location that is untouched by above ground electrical wiring and strip malls galore. I can see why people in the 1970s thought it was OK, but when it takes up literally every piece of real estate it creates a kind of subconscious desire to self-immolate.

Off topic:



From Linh Dinh’s blog "Postcards from the End of America"

From Iowa:

quote:

57-years-old, Dean is from Holland, MI, but has lived in Ohio, Louisiana, California and Oregon. A ex-junkie and life long con man, he has been jailed for 10 years altogether, and when I met him on the train going through Iowa seven weeks ago, Dean had just been released from a Michigan prison. He let me in on some of the intricacies of barcode, check and credit card frauds, and said he’s a kind of Robin Hood, “I give money to the poor. I’m stealing for Jesus."

"So how come he lets you go to jail?”

“Because sometimes it’s good to go to jail.”

The abundant above ground electrical wiring is the only thing that looks weird to me, that's something I'd usually associate with relatively poor countries.

Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg posted the following on her Facebook account (picture cropped by me to be on the safe side):

"Here we see a picture that has contributed to shaping world history. A picture of a frightened child fleeing war. I appreciate the work Facebook and other media do to stop pictures and content that show transgressions and violence. It is important that we all contribute to combat violence and transgressions against children. But Facebook is making a mis-step when they censor such pictures. It contributes to limiting freedom of expression. I say yes to a healthy, open and free debate - on the net and elsewhere. But I say no to this form of censorship."

Naturally, Facebook soon deleted the post.

Momentum Instruction doesn’t have much information about itself online. Its website was created last November, and there’s no indication of how many textbooks it’s published, or if this is the only one. But its owner, as the Houston Chronicle pointed out, is well known to Texans. Cynthia Dunbar served from 2007 to 2011 on the Texas State Board of Education and gained more fame than the position typically endows after she published a book called One Nation Under God, in which she called the U.S. education system “tyrannical” and said sending kids to public school is like “throwing them into the enemy’s flames.” (Her book was published while she served on the board of education.) She’s now a professor at Liberty University, founded by the late televangelist Jerry Falwell.

Well I grew up in Ventura next to the Los Padres National Forest with shitloads of trees, which I guess is kind of the northern edge of Southern California, so not indicative of the poo poo-deserts of the IE and points south.

There are lots of trees on an around the hills and mountains surrounding LA and the San Fernando Valley. What's your Southern California experience limited to, Camp Pendelton?
