Metrosexualism and Parkinson's Highlighted in Commercials

This week's Ad Age TV Spots of the Week highlights two, among others, great commercial. The first, for Levis and part of their Uncomplicated campaign features the insanity of metrosexualism and how a nice pair of 501's can bring one back to reality. The second, for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, features Fox in a commercial that appears to be falling apart until Fox utters, "With your help, we can make it stop." Very effective.

If some kind of devils advocate could exist in this situation...that human would be the scum below the scum of the earth. So I'd like to say a few words.

Parkinsons is a horrific affliction. That's the way I like it. Statistically parkinsons is WAY DOWN on my killing list. I love it that way. It takes focus off the things that I really like to harm humans with...being fat, smoking, drugs, crime, whatever. "But devil...these afflications were acquired differently....nurture vs. nature" hahahahahaha Im the devil...a horrific afflication is a horrific afflication....caring is irrelavent....I just like sooner death..the worse the better.

Image MJF being allowed to ask for opportunities for a cure of this insedeous disease....then at the end say parkinsons takes 16,000 precious lives every year. Smoking takes 425,000 every year. Every human being can cure smoking RIGHT NOW. We know we can cure smoking. We know we can cure Pakinsons disease. Attach the two toghether and you will get instant national coverage, money, focus....because the solution is here and now for both diseases. When more humans stop killing themsevles....DEMAND their time and energy to Parkinsons disease. That's a great challenge.... and millions more will know about Parkinsons.

"oh hell no" Humans will never learn. (damn...if this gets out....I may have to wait longer for customers)
