Here's the commercial, I'm not seeing it:

Because it's so obvious the SCJohnson, mega capitalist corporation is secretly communist! These nuts are starting to see reds everywhere they look.

21. A salient Crows song ...
Edited on Sat Sep-05-09 08:57 AM by Billy Burnett
Counting Crows - Round Here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWmeUmj6U_U

Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again
Where? I dont know
Maria says shes dying through the door I hear her crying
Why? I dont know

Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates

Maria came from nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said shed like to meet a boy who looks like elvis
She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like shes walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house
Takes her clothes off
Says shes close to understanding jesus
She knows shes more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when shes nervous

Round here were carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here shes slipping through my hands

Sleeping children better run like the wind
Out of the lightning dream
Mamas little baby better get herself in
Out of the lightning

She says its only in my head
She says shhh I know its only in my head
But the girl on car in the parking lot says
man you should try to take a shot
Cant you see my walls are crumbling?
Then she looks up at the building and says shes thinking of jumping
She says shes tired of life she must be tired of something

Round here shes always on my mind
Round here hey man got lots of time
Round here were never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
I cant see nothing, nothing round here
Catch me if Im falling
Y'catch me if Im falling
Will y'catch me cause Im falling down here

I said I'm under the gun around here
Oh man I said I'm under the gun around here

I cant see nothing, nothing round here

14. I like the reference to the crows... but I think Windex created the poster.
I think the birds are actually magpies.

The poster says Kingston Seven, which doesn't exist.

The poster is similar to this:



with a superimposed image similar to this:

16. Good detective work Buzz Clik, it would make more sense to
"create" a rock star free from royalty payments.

18. I Was About to Say the Counting Crows Guys, Too
Then there's this:

Well have you seen the “STAPLES” commercial with the kid playing with a labeler? The mom has one of those “easy” buttons? In the background, on the wall of the kids room, is a very communist looking poster with the date “MAY 1ST” in very bold letters at the bottom.

Here's the ad:

http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/marketing/easybutton/commercials_09_anthem_bts.html

The "communist-looking poster" has "GEO" at the top and musical note in the middle. A search turned up some "Geo" music festivals scheduled for May 1 over the last few years.

4. Surely it's not SC Johnson
It's likely the advertising company. They're notorious commies, ya know! Unbridled capitalism and corporate greed is the perfect disguise for Marxist ideology, after all. All those psychological tactics, they're not for getting us to buy crap we don't need; it's to make us spread the wealth by greasing the wheels of production, Baby!

6. After taking a second look, I think the guy in the poster
is meant to be reminiscent of Adam Duritz of Counting Crows...crows on the wire outside...get it, Freepazoids?

26. Argentine.
* Born: 14 June 1928
* Birthplace: Rosario, Argentina
* Died: 9 October 1967 (execution)
* Best Known As: Latin American Marxist revolutionary

Name at birth: Ernesto Guevara de la Serna

Ernest "Che" Guevara worked and studied medicine in various parts of Latin America before teaming up with Fidel Castro in 1959 to force a revolution in Cuba. After the revolution, Guevara was second only to Castro in power. In 1965 he left Cuba and travelled the world, working unsuccessfully toward Marxist/Leninist revolutions in the Congo and Bolivia. Known for his flamboyance and ruthless dedication to revolution, Guevara became an anti-capitalist icon in the 1960s. He was captured in Bolivia by U.S.-backed military forces and executed in 1967.

32. The latest of their little "exchange".
To: Tidbit
The poster says "Kingston" something at the bottom (not Jamaica). It's definitely Bob Marley. Funny thing. I googled "Bob Marley Kintston Windex" and the first thing that came up was a long thread on Dem Underground talking about your post.

Wow, who knew that one little wonderment could stir up so much ire over there? I guess it was worth if it it raised some blood pressure and pulse rates over there. LOL.
