A group calling itself "Shoes for Bush" is planning to hold a shoe hurling demonstration on January 19th to protest George W. Bush's "unprecedented pardoning of crimes he authorized." Veterans are being encouraged to bring their combat boots to the White House. Organizer Jamilla El Shafei says after the demonstration, the shoes will then be donated to local homeless shelters.
The NFL has banned Ashley Madison, a Website that encourages married people to have affairs, from advertising in this year's Super Bowl program. The company's slogan is: "Life Is Short. Have An Affair." CEO Noel Biderman says, "I find the rejection to be ridiculous given that a huge percentage of the NFL's marketing content is for products like alcohol. That's a product that literally kills tens of thousands of people each year. So if the NFL is worried about legislating behavior it should start with a ban on all alcohol advertising, not AshleyMadison.com."
Those, planning to attend Barack Obama's inauguration are being urged to bring their own toilet paper.
