Adidas SLAMMED for Promoting Slavery Shoes

At first glance of this ridiculous shoe, I thought it was a joke, a really ugly joke, then I realized it wasn't, this was really a product that Adidas thought that they could pawn off this plantation style fuckery on the masses.

The official advertising by-line of the shoe was "your game is so hot, you lock your kicks to your ankles". 

What?  Now, Adidas, now I know that not only is your design team clueless, but so is your promotion team

How about I lock my shoe in the ass of the nimrod who got permission to come up with and promote this shit on the market!!!

What part of this is not offensive and stupid? 
Let's check the imagery....SHACKLES, SLAVERY, RACIST AND INSULTING.

Which brings me to another point. This type of bafoonery is really geared toward a certain demographic.  The group not concerned with shoe performance or true style.

This shoe was tailor-made for the thug-ass ghetto, don't want nothing, trying to floss folks, that will buy or steal anything new that they think will up their street style quotient.
And that doesn't exclude any race or group that caters to simplistic thinking with a group mentality.

The ultimate shoe, with the price tag that matches, with simple folks loving to spend money they don't have, on silly items that won't mean anything in four months or less.

It is like they can't wait to brag to the other un-educated idiots in his social circle  that he dropped two hundred dollars on a pair of shoes that he's wearing, walking up and down the street to destination nowhere!  I'm sure those shoes will lose some tread, on those half-dozen trips a day to the corner store to buy chips, juice, and the occasional malt liquor.

Ghetto does it to themselves. Think about it. Everything revolves around a prison mentality.

Sagging pants, showing underwear, white t-shirts, black hoodies, hanging out in groups on the corner, teardrop tatoos, music that promotes rape, violence and chaos, and the number one pet peeve, DIRTY ASS DREDLOCKS or as I'd like to call them Raggedy Andylocks! 

I happen to sport the doo and it has never occurred to me to have my hair look like I wash my hair daily in the Chicago River.

Can't blame Adidas.

Then again corporate America, I do need you to stop acting like the dumbasses on the street.

Stop being a follower and be above the bullshit!  Your pockets won't suffer.

Romney Tries to Woo Latino Votes By Using the Possibility of Rubio as VP

Mis-informed Mitt really wants me to believe that he is seriously considering Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio for a running mate.

No, I don't believe it for a second. Although, Rubio has a great following in the Hispanic community, he's only been in the Senate for two years and he's only forty one years old.

Picking Rubio may blow up in his face like Palin did for McCain. It is almost like a Groundhog's Day disaster.  Senator Rubio, though probably infinitely more informed on the issues than the former Duh Governor from Alaska, Palin, he has his share of baggage that the Romney camp will probably not want to deal with at this stage of the game.

Mittens has yet to answer questions about his stance on immigration. Even top Republicans are asking him to make a stand, any stand, at this point.
I mean, at least an honest answer to show that he has thoughts on the subject.  He is kind of damned no matter what,  anyway, if he picks  Rubio, it will look like a ploy to pander to the Latino community and they can see through that gameplan....it just would't look good.

During this vetting process, Romney and camp, need to find out if the stories about Rubio embellishing his family's past are true.  His stories about his Cuban exile parents seem to change and morph with every speaking engagement.  I mean if he is lying about that, what else is he lying about?

Marco Rubio's been caught in a pickle when it comes to lying. That ego is something else and it shows that everything shiny isn't gold.
The Washington Post dug up some dirt on Rubio concerning a loan that he didn't disclose when he was supposed to and he has run up expenses on the Republican Party Florida Credit card. It seems that he has champagne tastes with the taxpayers' dollars. 
You know that more than certain, that strip joint workers have been paid handsomely through Floridian tax money.

Mitt has come to his defense, but I'm sure thats his "out" from Senator Rubio as a serious VP choice.
It's really too much drama from a person that says he's not even interested in the V.P. position.

Besides, will Mittens really want to alienate the good old boys in the Republican network with such a potentially "controversial" choice?

Yeah Right!

No Warrant Is Required for GPS Tracking of U.S. Citizens

So, let's get this straight - the government now has the right to use GPS technology on my car to gather information on me without a warrant? Really???? Of course, I'm being smug right now because the government has being using high-tech toys to track our asses for a while now. When I say while, I mean since at least since the beginning of the CIA. I'm just surprised that the goverment is coming forth with this information. Maybe it is a heads-up for the more intense intrusions into our personal lives that will be coming in the near future. Trust me, it is going to get worse, folks. For those of you in America, who thought that you were flying under the radar and off the grid, well, think again. Everything that is a "modern innovation" in your possession has GPS capability. Your cell phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, mp3 players, gaming systems, credit, gas, and debit cards, bus & transit cards, and not be be redundant your car's GPS system. Don't be mistaken, the Feds know where you've been, when you were there, who you were with, how you got there, and how long you stayed. Apparently, "Big Brother" has been watching everyone; but the right ones. You would think with all this silent tracking, we'd be in better shape with all the kidnappers, rapists, terrorists, murderers, Tea Party members, and knuckleheads hanging about. Nope, this is just another right of ours being blatantly and slowly taken away. We splice and dice and give fancy terms to the verbiage; but it's all the same. The moment Big Brother tells us what they are doing, they are already well ahead in their plan of taking more of our constitutional rights away. We are basically several steps behind and playing catch-up....at least those of us who care enough to notice, protest, and resist. While we rush to get the newest, best, and latest version of the gadget of the hour, remember, there is a double side to modern mobility and technology. Cars that can automatically turn off if you using your cellphone while driving, cars that can gauge if you are too drunk to drive (kinda like that one), smart cars that will drive and park for you, phones that plan and suggest your schedule - these are great innovations; but they do cause us to do less independent thinking, and have more reliance on objects and trust in what the government tells us what is good for us as a society. Think about it.
