It's not the first time I've seen that stuff left around to peddle movies; it was recently done for the Rambo remake. Should the marketers of that movie be held responsible. Nah, it wouldn't fly on all sorts of levels - especially legally. Maybe there's one good thing about it: we're so inured to advertising now that we've become immune to it, forcing them to resort to desperate measures of parroting hipster culture. How quickly now everything becomes co-opted. Won't work on me though, 'cause I've already decided to go see that-no-doubt-piece-of-shit-movie. Vin Diesel has my permission to sit on my face anytime he wants. </p> http://sfist.com/2008/09/02/day_around_the_bay_49.php#comment-1452078 http://sfist.com/2008/09/02/day_around_the_bay_49.php#comment-1452078 Comments Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:32:53 -0800 <p>The neighborhood associations keep asking the Berkeley City Council to pay attention and formulate an actual plan for fighting crime in Southwest Berkeley. And they keep ignoring it. Why attend to Berkeley city matters when you can weigh in on national or international matters?</p>
