PLEASE!
I know this might upset some people -- but could we PLEASE get rid of the oceana.org image that has somebody wearing that ridiculous outfit?
NOT THE AD or the message -- just that 3rd image with the person standing in a fake dolphin mutant outfit.
Maybe I'm just having a bad day but it seems that it opens us up to ridicule by the mainstream/right by using a ridiculous image to paste on us (remember kerry & the space suit?)
Environmentalists sometimes & unfairly are seen as wackos (ok, some are) but they do good work -- & a tacky or ridiculous image (I FEEL) hurts that effort & group.
The Cultivate Peace ad is nice & classy. Even the Lipstick on Bush ad is ok -- since they are going for that (& hell, it's Bush).
But if ya want to be seen respectfully, then a classy ad (whether funny or serious) would be the best target.
But that ad makes light of the environmental damage being done & message -- & hell, just is tacky.
am i being difficult? i usualy am not this awnry (@#$@# utility company) but this one's tacky -- & we already have to fight the "nutty environmentalist" image already...
i also wonder what kind of image it gives to people new to dkos...
ok...ok, i'm going back to sleep!
happy chrisMaHanzMaHaunKa to you!
