Get Real is dedicated to the delusions created in the news daily. I'll follow ridiculous stories, present "le trou du cul" du jour (google translate- its worth it), throw in mixes of random garbage, and provide my simple thoughts to the everyday media bullshit. This blog is for anyone or anything that needs a reality check.

Le Trou du Cul du Jour

Today its given up to Goldman Sachs's front man Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein claims that the government is out to get them and that the suit against GS would "hurt America". Greedy Wall Street Scum the victim of a government conspiracy. I've heard it all.

South Park Offends... Gasp.

A lot of hype is surfacing from the recently aired South Park Episodes. A radical muslim group is offended by episodes 200 and 201 of the show. South Park has been offending people since 1997... yet they always seem to come out on top. This time the Muslim group issued a "warning" AKA a threat to the creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The statement was something like "You will be stabbed and murdered like the Dutch filmmaker who made a movie about Muslim women."... Something along those lines. This can be compared to the classic tale of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". Now this Muslim group is going to HAVE to stab and murder Matt and Trey or else they won't be taken seriously from now on. Pressures on Radical Muslim Group... pressures on.

Scientists Tape Cameras To Sea Creatures... "For Science"

For research several seal lions had cameras taped to their backs. Apparently this is going to help scientists do good for the species. If not at least they got this sick video of a sea lion attacking a giant octopus and eating it alive, slowly. Definately not sleeping tonight. Octopus vs. Sea Lion—First Ever Video

Nat Geo Racially Profiling

A rare all-black penguin was discovered down by the sub-Antarctic. The poor guy's had a hard enough time trying to fit in with the rest of his species... now he has cameras following him around every move he makes. The headline was: MUTANT ALL BLACK PENGUIN FOUND. Ha ha...This guy doesn't stand a chance.

April 15, 2010 Le trou du cul du jour

Today it goes out to the heartless Poles. Only hours after the president of Poland's plane crashed hundreds of Poles began to profit off the tragedy. People were selling all sorts of things-- from candles to clocks to t-shirts to freakin websites! It was like the Yankees wond the pennant. I don't know what's worse... the people selling the shit, or the people buying it.

Mother Nature Pissed at Advertisers

So I get on my computer and read about ANOTHER friggin' earthquake... this one rocked China. 10,000 some odd people were hurt from the quake while approximately 600 were confirmed dead. As I click a link to watch a video reporting on the monstrosity I'm interrupted. In devastation-mode my heart is bleeding for the families affected by the disaster... and then it happens. I'm forced to watch a 30 second advertisement about fucking dandruff shampoo! Talk about inappropriate. I understand the important role of advertising in the media and yadda, yadda, yadda... but now that's out of the way: maybe the reason Mother Nature has been earthquake happy recently is because we as human beings have lost our minds/souls. As an advertising major I am pounded daily with words like 'target audience', 'strategies', 'tactics', 'planning', etc. etc.---NONE of which were clearly taken into consideration with this ad placement. This kind of ridiculous ad placement is seen daily and it's enough to make me vomit up my breakfast burrito. I need to know who is responsible for this; the ad agency, the shampoo company, or the actual news broadcaster. When you find out... slap them in the face.
