Another thing that is getting under my skin are these political ads. Ok true they have always been under my skin, but still. There is this new one that is just a lie. It has a candidate quoted as "If your going to raise taxes: 'Just do it." Now if you've ever quoted someone or know anything about APA style quoting you know there is something up with that. Basically it looks like they pulled two different quotes and put them together. For all we know this was from a speech and early on he said if your going to raise taxes then later on he said just do it. I mean if I wanted to I could do that to anyone. Hell anyone could do that to me on this blog. By pulling random quotes someone said you can make anyone out to be racist, homophobic, stupid, anything you want. Yet only a few people will point this out. I know if I was the guy that these ads were attacking I'd point it out to the people and show them how easy it is to do. Maybe I should go into ads.
As more and more stuff comes out in this Farve scandal I'm getting more and more torn. I know that since he's pulling a Tiger Woods by not talking the media is going to keep digging until they hit dirt. Yet the other side of me is saying well it's all coming to a head. This is what he gets for being so egocentric. Have athletes learned nothing from Tiger Woods. The more you don't talk the worse it gets. The more they push the more the league has to react. The more the league has to react the worse it will be for you. On the plus side at least he's promised to really retire this time....we'll see. I mean come on the dude isn't even denying it. Which is making people think there is something to it and if the public has the opinion that he did it, all those sponsors will pull out. Then again I'm sure he has enough money somewhere to make it through.
