And here I thought this was yet another rant about Mr. Card having strange views on something.

That lead me on an Internet scavenger hunt that included photoshop disasters, interesting illustions and how Joe Posnanski got dropped by HostMonster and had to find a new hosting company on a weekend and get his blog back.
Now I have to get ready for work, but I'm not sure my brain will follow. Must. Shut. Computer. Off.

I thought it was funny until I found their website and saw the meat puppet video. It was really disgusting and surreal. Freaks.

Curse my curiosity.
That video is enough to make me never, ever want to buy any of their products. In fact, I think I'll make a stipulation in my will that none of my descendants - for as long as that company is in business - should ever buy their products. Or their in-laws, friends and acquaintances. Ever.

looks to me like the typesetting, fonts and layout is in the style of the old 1920s-era advertising. You know, like you used to see on the Wendy's tables or the old-era Sears & Roebuck catalog reprints. I think they were going for that look.

The meat puppet video was pretty pointless and dumb, if you ask me, but I didn't think it was all that disturbing.
I wonder if the comment card and video are as indulgent and detached as they seem, or if the company really believes that in some way they influence people to buy Diesel brand crap?
