Controversial Ad Appearances

The advertising campaign for Activision's newest title in the wildly successful Call of Duty has sparked a controversy, due to the people included in the ad, and what they're show doing. A commercial shows Kobe Bryant and Jimmy Kimmel, among others, shooting, blowing things up and causing other assorted mayhem. Several people have since come out and condemned their appearances, questioning the example it sets for young people. Below, you can see the ad for your self. Do you have a problem with their role in this ad?

Drive-Buy-Shooting

Surprising (NOT!) news from the south tonight. In this tough economy, retailers are trying new and unusual tactics to entice customers. Buy-this-get-that is a common deal now-a-days, but one Florida car dealership has put an interesting spin on it, by offering people who purchase a new truck a voucher for a gun from a near by gun shop. What do you think, would this make you any more likely to go get that shiny new truck you've had your eye on?

MMMMM... Bacon.... Soda?

I think we can all agree that bacon is pretty tasty, and now, thanks to Seattle based companies J&D Foods and Jones Soda, you can wash down that delicious bacon with, that's right, bacon soda! By the miracle of science, and countless hours of hard work by these fine fellows, you can now have the magic of bacon in convenient beverage form. Good job everyone! What do you guys think, in the mood for some bacon soda?

Puff Puff TV

Our next story brings politics and Hollywood together, as "The Hangover" star Zach Galifianakis lit up a marijuana  joint during a discussion on California's controversial Prop. 19, on an appearance on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher". The measure would legalize use of pot, beyond the current "medicinal only use". What do you think of Zach's bold move, as well as the controversial ballot measure, up for vote tomorrow?
