Shades 5th Avenue by Redken (magazine ad)
Again, there is a blonde with wonderful luscious hair and a pert little pouty mouth, and blue eyes. I wish that advertisers would get a bit more creative than just sticking a blonde on a magazine page and thinking that the world will buy their products because she’s “beautiful.” …
Fox News Channel
You know, Fox News gets a lot of flak for being “biased and skewing the facts”. People act like this is some travesty. Yeah, because no media outlet has ever been biased or skewed data before. I mean, to quote ESPN, C’mon Man!
Yes, I know, Fox …

The Courier-Journal is our city’s ultra left-leaning newspaper. When I was little, there was another newspaper that delivered in the afternoon. Now we just have the morning delivery of the Courier-Journal, and considering its poor quality, I am surprised we even have it now.

Cover Girl Queen Collection Lipsticks (magazine ad)
