New billboard campaign to help foster understanding “I’m a M…”

Friday, October 15th, 2010
You have probably seen  the billboards all around town. Possibly, when you are driving to work or taking the kids to school. Some may think advertising for a select group of people that share the same beliefs and culture is a little agressive and over the top and maybe even unecessary. But lets be honest, if you are not a part of them you probably have often wondered what they are really like. How many times have you wondered what they do inside their buildings where they gather and worship? Or what’s the deal with their funny clothing? Or whats with their special holidays? Or how about their odd festivities and celebrations? How about the fact they are all about the traditional family? And even the stereotype about having lots of kids? Like any red blooded American who has ever listened to Glenn Beck speak or even been to the Mesa Arizona area you have probably been the least bit curious about this group of people that make up such a significant part of our society. One of these folks even made an attempt to run for President in the last election. Well, wonder no more my fellow Americans for a new movement is underway in order to clear up any curiosities, misunderstandings and stereotypes that you may have about this sect of American society.

 

New campaign to help people realize Mexicans are just regular folks and not a weird religious cult.

 

Due to the frustration brought on as a result of SB 1070 many people have been left wondering what to do in order to put persecuters, I mean, supporters of the law at ease and foster understanding about Mexicans.  This campaign also involves a website, Mexican.org, where people can go and find out about Mexicans and where Mexicans can go post a mug shot profile picture and register to ease tracking and status understanding and promote tolerance.

A superhero gets a new suit and a local hero files a suit

Friday, April 30th, 2010

After a week of hearing, seeing and talking about how my state of birth has become an embarrassment to the nation and most of humanity I was looking forward to some good news. Fortunately, that came in the red and yellow pages of Invincible Ironman #25. Ironman has always been a pleasure to read and I was hooked ever since the Extremis story line, which not only debuted Adi Granov’s amazing art, but revamped the character in a significant way. Moreover, the armor from Extremis was used as the basis for the costume design in the Robert Downey Jr. movie. So when it was announced that in issue #25 that Tony Stark was getting another upgrade I was stoked and I had to check it out. Aside form all the new twists in the story and the sick new way his armor comes on, the suit just looks awesome!!!  It took some time to get used to the look due to the fact that I was a big fan of the more mechanical look of Adi Granov’s design. This went away real quick after reading issue 25. So for the uninitiated here is what that looks like:

In other news:

Not only did SB1070 tic  lots of people off, it has also prompted one local cop to file a lawsuit against the state on the basis that this law can not be enforced with police neutrality.  The police officer involved is one Martin H. Escobar, who aside from being one bad mutha on the streets of Tucson is also one bad mutha on the mat or ring or whatever place jiu-jitsu guys fight.

Officer Martin H. Escobar, who filed suit against SB 1070, is also a jui-jitsu champion.

Now its obvious he’s Hispanic, but before any Minutemen or Jon Justice fans start accusing him of protecting illegals lets consider the fact that not only can this guy beat you senseless, but in every picture he’s in there’s an American flag behind him, I can’t think of anyone more patriotic than him. Well, except for maybe this guy:
