Here you go kids, here’s where you can fully see the value of an education.  Marketing is not a major, you can either do it or you cant.  You can waste 4 years learning about the 4 P’s of Marketing but when you’re sitting in an auditorium in your cap and gown did you really learn anything you didn’t already know?

No the real value is in Public Relations and Starbucks is taking up giant chunks of textbook space for years to come.  Some innocent designer drew up a cute polar bear wearing a festive holiday ribbon and some exec approved it.  It’s not their fault their naive brains didn’t see their polar bears had a Colombian necktie.

At that point the PR department made the moves to sabotage their Christmas cups with the hopes that that Christmas radicals would blow so much smoke out of their asses people would soon grow tired of Starbucks outrage and miss out on the dead polar bears to follow.

Unfortunately for Starbucks, the hyper sensitive social media era we live in doesn’t rest for anybody and now they have even more explaining to do.

The people who start all these public outcries are the real MVP’s here.  Someone out there is the real sicko who saw these Rorschach cookies and immediately jumped to Colombian necktie and yet somehow has passed the blame back to Starbucks.  Same can be said for the people who ultimately shut down Bud Light’s ‘Up for Whatever’ marketing campaign because they had a rapey thought in their brains.

These major companies need to do the same thing cops do when they put a prisoner to work on a case to get ‘inside the head of a criminal.’  Get some real sickos in the room who can point out any potential flaws and avoid another round of public shaming.

Hell yea make America great again. 

In his first term he rid the country of those awful entitlements and out people who wanted money to work. 

It’s a win-win, Frank’s got my vote.

WTSP David Marsh, DOB 07/08/1947, of Lakeland; charged with Soliciting Prostitution.  He told detectives he works at Home Depot.  He solicited the undercover female detective to dominate him, and showed up to the location wearing a “French maid” outfit and a chastity belt.  He rode his bicycle to the location because he lost his license due to DUI arrest.  He has 3 previous arrests for Soliciting Prostitution, DUI, Petit Theft (3 misdemeanors.) $250 bond.

I have to give it up to David.  Guy knows what he wants.  Spends 40 hours a week walking around Home Depot in that itchy apron and is probably dealing with so chafing.  So what if he can’t wait to get home and out of his monkey suit and into a nice French maid outfit.

He’s the ‘Little Engine that Could’ of prostitution.  Oh, been caught twice already? Not gonna stop David.  Take his car away from him and taunt him with hookers on the other side of town? Child please.

You could tell this guy was a pro.  A newb shows up and bothers to waste precious time changing into his maid’s outfit and dog collar.  David knows the value of time when doing business with a prostitute and wasn’t about to waste a second. David made damn sure he rolled up dressed and ready to go.

“I think I can, I think I can”

DeAngelo’s hashtag game is saying one thing, while the rest of his post is saying another…

With the Giants win over the Dolphins last night, the decision was made to flex the Giants/Vikings game into Sunday Night Football and kick the Steelers/Ravens back to 1:00.

Seemed like a no big deal to me, get that ass kicking out of the way early and have an entire day to enjoy right? Well DeAngelo Williams hit us with a real hard Lee Corso “Not so fast my friend” and apparently has beef with this decision, going as far to offer a poll on Twitter.

So what’s the verdict here, do we care that the Steelers are on at 1 instead of 8:30?

Ah it’s that time of the year again when we get the Christmas Radicals trying to put the Christ back in Christmas.  Instead of cornering his coworkers at the office Christmas party and going on a rant about the true meaning of Christmas, this yinzer from Fayette County launched his own violent demonstration in his front yard by lynching a once Jolly Saint Nick.  I guess the silver lining here is that at least the Catholic Taliban here is just interested in horrifying kids in the neighborhood and not launching a holy war… yet.

Credit to WTAE for finding the most polarizing two people to interview in the parking lot.  They opened it up with Ellen from Smithfield, a nice woman, who’s probably dabbled in teaching a Sunday school or two.  She played the logic card and suggested a better option may just be a manger scene.

Then in a textbook profiling example, they go interview the edgey woman in a leather jacket to see what she thinks of the display.

And she comes out spitting fire offering the pertinent life advice that “life sucks, deal with it” and follows that up with a textbook maniacal laugh. #yepper

I imagine after these two interviews taking up all of 5 minutes of the camera man and reporters time they looked at each other, fist bumped and hit happy hour early.

Turns out the guy ended up being a pussy who got the attention he craved but was too scared to jump on camera for an interview and then took down his demonstration after the news team left.  Way to back down from a fight man, how are you going to get Christ back in Christmas with a dead Santa in your closet?

Shit these unseasonably warm temperatures… all this pollen in the air…

Thank you Duper

Pacman Jones dropped that intelectual nugget on social media yesterday.  If you’re sitting there scratching your head at what he said, allow me to clean it up a bit for you.

“I’m sitting here looking at the thing on ESPN I guess Pittsburgh they’re all gangstas [audible grunt], Mike Tomlin tell his team to shut the fuck up and play football cause ain’t nothin gonna happen to five five on the field or off the field, dig that y’all wanna go report something report that….. bitches”

No shit the Steelers are gangsters, did you not see William Gay’s dance moves?

The first issue here is we have a legitimate off the field gangster here offended that the Steelers are taking over and turning into gangsters on the field.  It’s easy to understand his point of view, coming from a guy who was suspended for joining Nelly at a strip club “making it rain” before yelling at a stripper and get tossed out of the club.  Because there wasn’t enough here to establish legit street cred Pacman sent his boy back in shooting people and proving once and for all he is in fact, gangster.

Pacman doesn’t even need guns to win fight either.  His resume speaks for itself, having been one half of the TNA Tag Team Champions in 2007.

Be that as it may, someone from the Steelers had to step up and protect this house.  Your boy Marcus Gilbert took it upon himself to throw some stink Pacman’s way.

Oh shit ring the bell, lets go.

It’s become a tradition unlike any other, whooping up on the stinkin Bungals every year.  There is little question it is personal, having seen injuries to marquee players such as Carson Palmer in 2006 as well as LeVeon Bell both this year and last.  Having knocked out Andy Dalton on that brutal interception, more blood was shed yesterday less than a month out from the playoffs.

Nobody wants to face the Steelers right now they’re flat out scary.  Looking at their schedule the season becomes a series of one game playoffs starting with a game Sunday vs the Broncos.  The goal is to jump either the Jets or Cheifs and roll into the playoff’s with that chip on their shoulder.

Nothing would taste better than another opportunity to roll into Cincinatti and layeth the smackdown on their monkey asses and send Pacman off to another offseason for his extracurricular activities.

Trick question. There is only one. 

Your team. Your town. Your Pittsburgh Steelers. 

Most Super Bowl’s too. No big deal. 

Coming In: The Steelers were looking to avenge their week 14 loss at home for the Bengals. That was Ben’s first game back from his early season knee injury and was his shakey self in that first one back. The Bengals were favored by 3 and the way the Steelers offense has looked lately that was free money.

The Game: After the Steelers opened with a 7 point lead the Red Rocket was working his way down the field when he went full retard and threw an ugly interception.

This was especially bad because Andy dinged his throwing hand thumb on the tackle.

With that it became AJ McCarron’s team.

Which meant it was this Cincy broad’s Christmas list was up in flame.

It Was Over When: With a 16-7 lead, William Gay picked off AJ and earned every inch of an unsportsmanlike penalty with a TD dance that was a two parter with intermission in between.

Sure there was plenty of action after that pick six but the Steelers stayed in control throughout.

Hat tip: Down 16, Marvin Lewis elected to kick the field goal instead of going for it on 4th. Thank you Marv for taking a 2 TD gaame and making it a 2 TD game.

Meanwhile In Cleveland:

Uh-oh

  
The Pirates offseason thus far has consisted of losing their homegrown second baseman and adding a smokeshow wife. Whispers around town have always suggested Neil wasn’t exactly everyone’s favorite teammate so while on the surface you may be concerned about chemistry after changing up half the infield I think these moves could bring the new class together. 

Meanwhile in Chicago (that team that trumped the Buccos in this years play in game) the Cubs are shelling out big bucks for Jason Heyward. We have another situation here where first thought it panick but while the Cubs may improve it means the Cardinals get inversely worse. Both teams, thank god, missed out on Grienke and Price but now that they’re just flipping talent the Pirates slow approach to the hot stove isn’t a cause for concern. 

The Phillies were big spenders for Cliff Lee how’d that go? Pujols to LA, Werth to Washington, Pablo & Hanley to Boston. Big ticket free agents are seldom the tipping point for championship teams. KC won on great team chemistry and sexy girlfriends. The Buccos are there now and playoff tested so as long as they stay healthy in 2016 and the Cardinals finally fall off, the NL Central is there for the taking.
