I use to say twitter was "gay"...Gay in that 6th grade way, that is you trashing something you know nothing about...Now, because of twitter, I learn something new every day...Including how twisted and f**ked up people are...So much so, that they make me look sane...Here is an example...
-
Now the video...
This ad was created by the company DDB Brasil for the World Wildlife Foundation...The WWF is claiming they didn't approve it...While DDB Brasil president says they did approve it...The add was run one time...Then submitted for an award...Still with the WWF logo on it...I don't care who did or didn't approve...F**k them all...
I'm okay with ads trying to make a point...But this one went the wrong to try and make their point...
I first found this via twitter, at http://www.mediaite.com/online/wwf-911-ad-was-not-a-rejected-spec-ad-shocking-video-uncovered/ which lead to... http://adage.com/globalnews/article?article_id=138775 which will take you to the video...
With technology, I guess we get the good and the bad...The bad being douche bags taking 9/11 and turning it into a sh!tty, preachy ad...The good being me finding it, sharing it, and ranting about it...
Later, The Beeze.

Exactly!
Wow ... you know me Beeze, I am normally all for "anything goes", but that is pretty f**ked up.
-A is right ... WTF?
I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this is f**ked up!
WWF just tweeted this to me..."wwf_us@TheBeeze34 WWF strongly condemns Brazilian ad and apologizes to 9-11 victims and families. http://bit.ly/IQ1xR #WWFUS #WWF"
The Link goes here...http://www.worldwildlife.org/who/media/press/2009/WWFPresitem13559.html
I could care less about their apology, because I think it's bullshit...They were involved in some way and are now back peddling...Why didn't they use the video of the little kid on the beach getting swallowed up by the tsunami? Pussies!
This is some of what I pulled on DDB from Wikipedia...
