We guess Old Navy didn't get enough bark for their buck at their Marina Green casting call for a new Old Navy Dog, as Friend of SFist James sent us these shots of yet another dog casting call in Duboce Park last Thursday. more ›

In an effort to stop slumping sales, Old Navy is hoping to recapture their sales magic of the late 90s by enlisting a new canine mascot. You may remember when Old Navy was a hot brand, nearly every commercial featured “Magic”, an Airedale mutt rescued from the streets of San Jose. Since Magic was forced out of his job in the Spring of 2001 (press releases cited ‘creative differences’) Old Navy same store sales have tanked (PDF). Coincidence? We think not. more ›

This Saturday, there will be a big abortion protest taking place in the city in response to it being 32nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. We know- big yawn. Except it’s not what you think, it’s an anti-abortion rally. At first, when SFist heard about this, we thought it was a joke, you know ironic- kind of like all those Billionaires for Bush protests. But it’s not a joke, it’s real. There will be a rally at Justin Herman Plaza at 11 A.M followed by a walk along the Embarcadero from Justin Herman Plaza to the Marina Green in an event called Walk for Life West Coast. Upwards of 3,000 people are expected to attend, although most are being bussed in from the Central Valley. In deference to this being the Bluest of Blue States, march organizers Eva Muntean and Dolores Meehan have told all the folks at Operation Rescue to leave their aborted-fetus billboards at home. Asked why San Francisco, Roman Catholic and fourth-generation San Franciscan Dolores Meehan said that the point of the protest is to try and show pro-choice woman that abortion isn’t the only answer and that “there are other options.” Adds Muntean, also Catholic, “I want everyone to know that San Francisco is not a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah." But isn’t that why we love San Francisco? more ›

Plan your movements accordingly on January 22nd, the day of a "walk for life" stretching from Justin Herman Plaza to the Marina Green. Hey, try not to wear yourselves out with that gruelling hike, there, walkers. As Dan Lopez of Selma, CA puts it in the January issue of San Francisco Faith, "I cannot stand it when I hear women say they can do what they want with their own bodies." Yeah, pesky women! With any luck, there'll be helpful men like Dan present at the walk to disabuse such women of their heretical ideas. more ›
