Dancing with the Stars returns for its 16th season two weeks from tonight, taking over for another venerable, two-hour ABC reality show on Monday nights. After The Bachelor spoilers have been proven correct (or not), and the final rose recipient is scrutinized to high heaven … Sean Lowe will take to the parquet. He’ll join a Dancing With the Stars cast that has been called lackluster, but you never know who might surprise as they vie for the coveted Mirror Ball. “The sexy is back,” boasts the first promo for the season premiere, and while that may be wishful thinking, at least the marketing department is aiming high. Watch the promo starring Pitbull (who will not be dancing) below: Dancing With the Stars Season 16 Promo
There comes a time in every 19 year old Lingerie Model working for the evil lingerie empire’s life….where her management and their marketing team put her on as many high profile campaigns as possible….whether that campaign is pretending to bang Justin Bieber for TMZ…in efforts to help his homosexuality stay covered up…..or now this fully clothed campaign for Replay…it is just all about her getting media hits…increasing her brand equity….and making her matter….now all she needs is a relationship with an A-Lister like she was most of the other Victoria’s Secret girls and in turn we’ll be stuck with her posing half naked the next decade like she was Heidi Klum…something I can probably deal with since I have nothing else going on…you know easy to fit in my schedule…
Is this commercial racist, or is everything racist nowadays? NBC Reports: Arab-American groups have sharply criticized a Coca-Cola Super Bowl ad depicting an Arab walking through the desert with a camel, and one group said it would ask the beverage giant to change it before CBS airs the game on Sunday before an expected audience of more than 100 million U.S. viewers. “Why is it that Arabs are always shown as either oil-rich sheiks, terrorists, or belly dancers?” said Warren David, president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, or ADC. Coca-Cola released an online teaser of the commercial last week, showing the Arab walking through a desert. He soon sees cowboys, Las Vegas showgirls and a motley crew fashioned after the marauders of the apocalyptic “Mad Max” film race by him to reach a gigantic bottle of Coke. In its ad, Coke asks viewers to vote online on which characters should win the race. The online site does not allow a vote for the Arab character. “The Coke commercial for the Super Ball is racist, portraying Arabs as backward and foolish Camel Jockeys, and they have no chance to win in the world,” Imam Ali Siddiqui, president of the Muslim Institute for Interfaith Studies, said in an email. “What message is Coke sending with this?” asked Abed Ayoub, ADC’s director of legal and policy affairs. “By not including the Arab in the race, it is clear that the Arab is held to a different standard when compared to the other characters in the commercial,” he said. CBS declined comment. Coca-Cola spokeswoman Lauren Thompson said Coke took a “cinematic” approach with the ad, employing the characters as a nod to movies of the past. “Coca-Cola is an inclusive brand enjoyed by all demographics,” she said in an email. “We illustrate our core values, from fun and refreshment to happiness, inspiration and optimism across all of our marketing communications.” Ayoub said ADC intended to contact Coke and CBS Corp on Thursday to “hopefully start a dialog.” “I want to know why this happened and how can we fix this if possible before Sunday,” he said. The ADC garnered attention back in 1992 when it complained that lyrics in the Walt Disney animated film “Aladdin” were racist. Ronald Goodstein, professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University, said he was surprised by the image as well. “If Coke’s vision is to be an arm’s distance away from every customer, why would they want to offend the Arab world?” said Goodstein. Ayoub said the commercial could harm Coke’s business with the Arab community. “Coke should understand and respect their consumers and have a better understanding of the market they are sharing,” he Ayoub. The company has a large market share in the Middle East and North Africa, he noted, and many convenience stores and other retail outlets in the United States that offer Coke are owned by Arab-Americans.

She was having an affair with her ‘son’… and the two plotted to murk her husband so they could collect his life insurance policy! Via the NY Daily Mail : A Las Vegas woman, her brother and her adopted son have all been charged with attempting to kill the woman’s husband so as to cash in on a life insurance policy. Amy Pearson, 42, was also involved in a romantic relationship with her adopted son, 21-year-old Michael Bessey, a police report released Monday stated, and had nearly finalized a divorce with Robert Bessey, 49. Once the divorce was completed, Pearson would no longer have a legal claim to the $250,000 life insurance policy, the police report said. On Nov. 14, Robert Bessey was driving his car on Interstate 15 when a gold SUV pulled up next to him and one of the occupants shot him in the neck. Bessey survived the attempt on his life, however, and called 911 with his cellphone. Surveillence video at a gas station placed Michael Bessey and Richard Pearson, 39, in the van shortly before the crime occurred. “Michael and Amy were very close,” Robert Bessey told police, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported. Apparently, that closeness was a factor in the divorce proceedings. Police initially didn’t arrest Amy Pearson, but on the strength of monitored communication between the woman and her adopted son, they built a case against her. Michael Bessey sent a letter to Pearson shortly after his arrest, and pleaded for his father to drop the charges against him. “Robert had read the entire letter, which stated, ‘I miss touching you,’” the police report said. A jailhouse confession made to Michael Bessey’s cellmate also helped police zero in on Pearson. “He and Amy Pearson were to receive $400,000 in total benefits,” the police report stated. “He was going to buy a truck, his mother was going to pay off her mortgage, and the two would never have to work again.” Interviewed by police, Amy Pearson’s sister-in-law recounted how Pearson lamented turning to the younger Bessey to kill his adopted father. “That’s what happens when you send a boy to do [a] woman’s work,” Pearson was reported to have said, according to the police report. There are speculations that Amy Pearson is actually the biological mother of Michael Bessey; he’s the victims stepson after Robert Bessey formally adopted him when he was younger. Yuck!

I think this video that was released yesterday as a sneak peak of the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Swim collection is pretty representative of just how little they care about their marketing, cuz they know shit sells itself, and they know the girls they kidnap and lock into a career long marriage, who they own and who they turn into celebrities like some kind of pimp if this was the 1800s and Victoria’s Secret was that the back room is a brothel…. Their caption was captivating… Lindsay Ellingson, Candice Swanepoel, Barbara Palvin, Lais Ribeiro, Doutzen Kroes, Erin Heatherton and Karlie Kloss tease the Victoria’s Secret’s Swim 2013 collection in this 15-second online-exclusive video. It’s like motherfuckers don’t even need to work anymore – all they need to say is hot bitches in Bikini – Go Look – Go Buy…. Pretty fucking crazy…but for some reason, a reason I call hot tits, hot bodies, brainwashing – I’m sucked into this 15 second shitty edit the CEO’s kid probably made for his 6th grade media class….but to me it is a masterpiece…
I always feel like an idiot when I endorse or promote Victoria’s Secret, knowing that they are a 20 billion dollar a year company, and that I am just buying into their marketing scam, giving them free advertising and promotion, even if only 100,000 people who come to the site today see it, and never buy a Victoria’s Secret product, because girls don’t talk to them, I still know…I’m feeding the fire that is their free publicity angle that made them a 20 billion dollar a year company…and by company I mean evil corporation…..but then I look at the models and their bodies and think to myself that every girl should look like this…and the fact that they don’t is the real crime…and the other real crime isn’t that I am promoting their shit for free..it is that I am not having sex with their women…or women who look like their women….for free… That said, here’s their 2013 Swim Catalog pics….starring the same gang of women….
If you read my previous post…you will know that I hate endorsing these Victoria’s Secret girls….only because I know that I am feeding into their marketing scam that makes them billions….but the problem is seeing pics of Maryna Linchuk on set having her bikini bottoms eaten by her ass…is just too exciting for the average, simple, pervert like me to ignore….there’s this thing called pussy that rules over me…that controls my decision making…and that makes me do really stupid things…and I guess Victoria’s Secret gets that….cuz they bring the pussy right….motherfuckers.

To Nadya Suleman , the January 19 show marks a truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, since she says she’s retiring from porn as a one-hit masturbating wonder. We should all be so lucky.
Rihanna spent her marketing budget on renting a 777 jet from Delta and inviting 200 people from the media – myself excluded – cuz Rihanna doesn’t know good blogs when she sees them – probably cuz she doesn’t know how to read – it’s something that happens when you drop out of school at 12 to be a prostitute and puppet…. One of the stops on their 7 day whirlwind tour…that should end in a fiery plane crash for dramatic purposes…was Toronto…where she wore this shirt…that made them titties look ridiculous…and I figured why not jump in on this promo bullshit…cuz I got nothing better to do…but more importantly…cuz it involves cleavage…. TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS FOLLOW THIS LINK Here are some pics from her instagram….cuz she’s a social media whore…in a good way…
