DART Public Awareness Campaign (BAD) (Show and Tell 3)
This offensive ad campaign was ran on DART (Dallas Transit) buses in 2008 and took much slack from men and father's rights groups
One of my favorites
Although i don't agree with the message I do think it is a very powerful image contrasted with modern consumerism and culture.
The relationship between the ipod advertisements as mainstream and the use of the war as a reflection of how detached we are or how we can make the war a marketing ploy (anti-war poster)
Got Milf? Catagories of Mother's milk
You see it all over the news, landing an older more mature woman is the latest craze. They even have their own nicknames, they call them a Cougar or Milf. So how does a young single man find that special older mom?
Just imagine, your in the grocery store, cruising for some late night Ben and Jerry’s when all of a sudden you see her. The goddess of grocery-eden. You take a quick look and notice she is not bound by a wedding band, so you quickly move in for a better look see. Well the only thing you can tell is she has milk in her cart and rolling towards the checkout. Not much time, how do you approach her? How can you tell she is “the one?”
I intend to help you my young apprentice to define the mother by her milk. When it comes to mother’s milk, what can we learn? With grocery store romance we only need to ask one question.
Do you “got milk” or do you “got Milf?”
got Milf?
Grocery Shopping for Hot Moms by their Milk
Vitamin D (Molly)
This hot Mom is the kind you can take home to your own. She is a good cook and loves to please her man. She tends to obsess about a particular type of nic-nac be it pig, cow, eagle or dolphin.
Warning: This mom can also have a very small infant and has potential to become obese by her own cooking or if she goes any length of time without a man. This Mom fits the couch potato category.
2% Lowfat (Victoria)This hot Mom has cooking from a box down to a science. Hamburger helper has never tasted so good. Her kids are older and not much of a bother. This is the category you find the soccer Mom. This Mom is active and looks really good when going out.
Warning: This mom is an expert at the online pick-up and can replace you rather quickly. This mom ages nicely but frequent trips to the tanning booth may lead to skin cancer.
1% Lowfat (Samantha)
This hot Mom is particular about what she eats, when you’re watching that is. She is losing weight by cutting back the 1% milkfat. Her children tend to be in their late teens, which means the house is free most of the time. This Mom is active and has lots of energy.
Warning: This Mom yo-yo diets, which leaves the potential for her to gain lots of weight. She is also bossy and vindictive if crossed. Handle this one with velvet gloves
Skim Milk (Christine)
This hot Mom is creative and fit. She is introverted and artistic. To her milk is cow puss. Her children are either grown up, out of the house or in elementary school. In either case she waits on them hand and foot. Her diet consists of leafy greens and not much else. Sugar is anthrax to this mom and she is often found running 8 miles a day.
Warning: This mom holds a deep hatred for men and shares it. She knows everything and if you don’t believe her just ask her.
Soy Milk (Danielle)
This Mom is either down to earth or out of her mind. She swears off real milk because “eww that came out of a cow”, or she is making a political statement. This Mom’s kids are young and she thinks they are the cutest redheads in the world.
Warning: This Mom has mental issues. Her children are allergic to everything. This Mom claims to be athletic but in truth she is just skinny.
Ok, so the idea of using milk to define a good woman might be a bit of a stretch but according to http://www.rd.com/advice-and-know-how/extraordinary-uses-for-milk/article23896.html there are some ingenious uses for the bovine lactation.
Make frozen fish taste fresh
If you want fish from your freezer to taste like it was fresh caught, try this trick: Place the frozen fish in a bath of milk until it thaws. The milk will make it taste fresher.
Repair cracked china
Before you throw out that cracked plate from your grandmother's old china set, try mending it with milk. Place the plate in a pan, cover it with milk (fresh or reconstituted powdered milk), and bring to a boil. As soon as it starts to boil, lower the heat and simmer for about 45 minutes. The protein in the milk will miraculously meld most fine cracks.
Polish silverware
Tarnished silverware will look like new with a little help from some sour milk. If you don't have any sour milk on hand, you can make some by adding vinegar to fresh milk. Then simply soak the silver in the milk for half an hour to loosen the tarnish, wash in warm, soapy water, and buff with a soft cloth.
Soothe sunburn and bug bites
If your skin feels like it's burning up from too much sun exposure or if itchy bug bites are driving you crazy, try using a little milk paste for soothing relief. Mix one part powdered milk with two parts water and add a pinch or two of salt. Dab it on the burn or bite. The enzymes in the milk powder will help neutralize the insect-bite venom and help relieve sunburn pain.
Clean and soften dirty hands
You come back from the garden with stained and gritty hands. Regular soap just won't do, but this will: Make a paste of oatmeal and milk and rub it vigorously on your hands. The stains will be gone and the oatmeal-and-milk mixture will soften and soothe your skin.
Clean patent leather
Make your patent-leather purses or shoes look like new again. Just dab on a little milk, let it dry, and buff with a soft cloth.
Remove ink stains from clothes
To remove ink stains from colored clothes, an overnight milk bath will often do the trick. Just soak the affected garment in milk overnight and launder as usual the next day.
However if your PETA you just want Ben and Jerry’s to switch to human milk. Happy hunting!

Iwo Jima
For some reason I thought it was much bigger on film or maybe it was John Wayne who made it appear that way. In black and white the “Sands of Iwo Jima” just didn’t have the same appeal as it does here in front of me.
As we approach the way the Marines did back then there are strange rock formations that jetty out of the water, which give an evil and unforgiving feeling. The island looks deserted and for good reason. Nothing is native here anymore and even the vegetation needs help to grow.
Mt Suribachi is on our left as we approach, the Landing craft bobs up and down in the waves like a bad carnival ride as its diesel engine moans. The pork chop shaped island looks neither inviting nor hospitable. The entire surface area of this island is only seven and a half miles of area mass. It’s hard to believe 50,000 men once fought here. The Americans landed on the island but the Japanese were inside it.
Virtually untouched since 1945 this small island once was occupied by over 50,000 men. Out of the original 30,000 men that landed 20,196 American became casualties and 4,189 were killed. The Japanese loses were staggeringly worse, as they nearly fought to last man. Out of the original 23,000 on this island 21,000 were killed, and only 200 surrendered.
There were even two Japanese soldiers who managed to live within the tunnels until finally surrendering in 1949. Four years after the war was over by stealing food and supplies.
The heavy steel door lowers with a crankily sound. In my mind I can imagine the ricocheting bullets that must have been heard as the Marines exited the LCU.
I sink to my ankles in the ash and black sand. I can imagine now what would be like to walk through two feet of pepper. My steps are labored as I reach the end of the beach. As I stop a moment and look down the beach I can see a tank rusty and sticking about halfway out of the sand. It looks surreal.
The island is attempting to reclaim the remnants of the battle but it appears to be just too big to swallow. Maybe it’s too much for such a small island.
There are reinforced fighting positions called pill boxes on the beach and with closer examination there are shell casings littering the ground. The story becomes evident that this is where a Marine took out this position with heavy amounts of fire.
As we approach Mt Suribachi I notice tunnels that I did not see from the beach. They are everywhere on the island. As we approach there is a pillar with Japanese writing to mark its location. This marker is a recent addition, honoring those who died here. The Japanese believe a place that someone dies is sacred and these markings are found everywhere on the island.
Inside the tunnels not much has changed. The name Iwo Jima means Sulfur Island and as you go deeper the heat becomes almost unbearable. White concentrations of sulfur are forming on the tunnel walls.
Everything is as it was in 1945, pictures of Japanese women are posted on the walls and bamboo mats are on the floor. The tunnels are dry from the volcanic heat which helps preserve its contents.
Pieces of Japanese uniforms and shoes are found. Every turn uncovers a new discovery. The rusty and metal barrels of weapons are found but the wood stocks are long gone. We notice colored streamers running throughout some of the tunnels as they mark the areas where human remains are located.
Bottles of rice wine and water purification units seem ready for use and food rations are unspoiled and appear ready to eat.
As we walk the island there are some Japanese making new discoveries. New tunnels are being found every day and some are marked with the original date they were mustard gassed by the Americans and sealed entombing the Japanese soldiers indefinitely.
Many dangers are found here as well and much caution is needed. Japanese grenades are found by some of the entrances and their chemical based fuses are very unstable. Watching where you step and place your hands is a delicate proposition.
The airfield is the only place where any life flourishes. The Americans have given back the island to Japan and the Airfield now reads Iwo To. Still meaning sulfur island Iwo To is the new name for the island as the Japanese try to cover some of the history with the new name.
You won’t find this trip in any travel literature or any honeymoon destination, but for those looking for a step back into time it is worth the trip. The island was bombed for an entire month before the battle and another forty-five days of fighting stripped any vegetation that was originally found here. Over the years however, environmental bombings have taken place with seeds dropped from airplanes to help the island grow back to its natural state.
More than any museum or history book, a trip to Iwo Jima is both breath taking and awe inspiring. From exploring the unseen to standing at the point of that famous flag raising Iwo Jima is among my all time favorite experiences.
