Starbucks free coffee - just vote




Nice video ad from Starbucks. Elections are a good moment to make a company remarked and Starbucks put the coffee on the tables to get on the front news. Free coffee !!! Yam Yam ! As all the most of people appreciated the intentions of Starbucks to get people out of their homes for voting, the purpose of the elections have fade out somehow for many. I was looking at what were people searching these days and here is what I've discovered: an incredible breakout search quantity for Free Starbucks coffee. These searching was hand by hand with election results.
Now, what are all these people when they are looking at the Starbucks ad?! The free coffee or an encouragement to go to vote?! I'm sure that most of the people interprets each ad as he or she is interested. Some people thinks when is the best moment when to go to Starbucks... before or after voting...Or 'who will know that I didn't vote?'. And a better idea: 'I take one of that creamy hazelnut coffee when I leave and one when I come back. Oh, wait! I'll search the internet to see what other free stuff I can get; maybe there is beer too'.
This idea of giving free coffee to people reminds me of that Seinfeld episode when Kramer won free coffee for life. And that is how I see people who were voting for a coffee.
The ad unfortunately for them, was breaking some laws, although it had good intentions.
Also, Starbucks sent an e-mail to Starbucks card owners saying:

What if we all cared enough to vote?

Martin Luther King Jr. - Free At Last




Now, indeed Martin Luther Kink Jr. is really free and is probably resting in peace. Have past 45 years from his famous speech. His words were engraved on his grave as a symbol of his fights and efforts, but now, really, those words are as true as a clear sky. If Obama will be a good leader for America or not, that is something that future will show us, but the past is already sealed: FREEDOM for black people, RIGHTS for all races that live in America and one more thing - United States. All these could be spelled with a single name: Barack Obama. 4th november 2008 is the day that will remain in history as the day when the last proof that America is a great democracy have been stamped.
Obama is for America a fulfilled dream, the hope and a new beginning and the end of a shame. For other countries he could bring a better taste than dust to the world. I'll end this idea as it started, with the words of Martin Luther King Jr. and a short collection of a few great speeches.

Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

Campbell Brown pregnant - second child will be named...




...anything else but not 'Sarah' (from Sarah Palin), 'Bristol' (from Bristol Palin), 'John' (from John McCain) or 'Tucker' (from Tucker Bounds).
Finally, the gossip was confirmed officially by Campbell Brown itself. Is amazing how much digging on this subject was on the internet in the past couple of weeks. Probably because of the scandal related to Sarah Palin's daughter. Well, what can we say about Campbell Brown now ?! That she is an example to Bristol Palin ?! Campbell is 38 years old and she is at the second pregnancy in less than a year , while Bristol is at first pregnancy and is 17 years old. We asume that Campbell thinks that a woman (not a girl) should have a professional background before having kids. I know that Campbell was hitting Sarah politic about abstinence-only sex education, but did she thinked if it worths her attack a bit ?! People should be aware that the child that Bristol is carrying now will be known as a 'frustration' to a electoral campaign and nothing else. Is Campbell's child better than Bristol's one?!
Kids are innocent Campbell, don't hit'em before they even born (because they will hit you back later) !
Anyway, here is her statement from tv:

I'm pregnant! We just came out of the closet, so I'm happy to share the news .

October end, November 1st



2008 October ends with bad news. Public faces being killed, or did committed bad things. Head of the news is Anne Pressly (on the right), who was found in a blood bath (Shelley Malil's kind of style) almost one week ago. She died a few days later while she was hospitalized. From Associated Press we have the brief news about this.
Anne Pressly
Something went wrong maybe at the party where she was before the attack. It seems that she've been followed till home, because she had time to write on her Facebook wall how happy she was because her friends appreciated her small role in the movie W. She was working for the Arkansas television KATV.
On the same line, we find Skylar DeLeon, Skylar DeLeonwho was found guilty for murder same day when Anne Pressly was attacked. He killed three people, two tide by an anchor and thrown off their yacht, and in another murder a 45 years old man. Although he looks quite sad in the photo, that's mostly because he is afraid of the punishment he we get. He was popular as a child when starring in "Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers". As the show's name says, he was powerful as an adult, but in the wrong way.

With these news we end October unfortunately. Anyway, November begins in force with interesting things. On SNL (Sunday Night Live), November 1st, there are rumors that Barack Obama will take part in the last day of the election campaign. Obviously he will bring his best weapons to this showBarack Obama. SNL prepares a great show for this weekend as they've invited David Cook, the American Idol winner, who will sing (for Obama - that is funny). Probably the show will be opened by Cook, just to leave our brains fresh with Obama's speech.

Also on November 1st will be launched the first Venezuelan communication satellite, called 'Simon Bolivar'. Let's hope that it will be launched without problems.

It doesn't look too fancy, but what the heck?! It will be out of space and nobody will see it. Cheers to Venezuela !
