“I want a dyke for president. I want a person with aids for president and I want a fag for vice president and I want someone with no health insurance and I want someone who grew up in a place where the earth is so saturated with toxic waste that they didn’t have a choice about getting leukemia. I want a president that had an abortion at sixteen and I want a candidate who isn’t...

Brands are Human - They Need to Communicate as... →
authenticmatters: Thanks to the socialization of the web, brands have taken on very human characteristics. They’re conversational. They’re sometimes awkward. They’re nerdy. They’re intelligent. They’re jerks (sometimes). They’re cute. They’re welcoming. They’re darling. They’re ignorant. They’re self-righteous….

REAL Business Opportunity
Dear HBO  First and foremost, I love your content. You’ve produced several of my favorite shows over the years, and the hits keep on coming. I’d love to watch Game of Thrones now, but I can’t. You see, the only way to get your service is to be a cable subscriber, and several months ago I cut the cord.  The recent news that you’ve reached agreements with Cablevision and Time Warner Cable to make...

The sad reality of an American kid.
“When I was five years old, I would go with my mother to midtown Manhattan and there’d be a bearded Santa Claus ringing a bell. And then we’d go back downtown, and I’d see another Santa —but this time a skinny one. I think that’s what tipped me off. If you’re living in a small town or suburb, I suppose there’s just one Santa in the shopping mall. But for a city kid, once he notices that there is...

Being here in America doesn’t make you an American
“Well, I am one who doesn’t believe in deluding myself.I’m not going to sit at your table and watch you eat, with nothing on my plate, and call myself a diner. Sitting at the table doesn’t make you a diner, unless you eat some of what’s on that plate. Being here in America doesn’t make you an American. Being born here in America doesn’t make you an American. Why, if birth made you American, you...
