Dark Knight Cobwoy

While I was reading the log post about cowboy presidents and later saw the Oscars, I got to thinking about how that Cowboy image shows up in the movie. At the end of the movie the Joker says something to the effect of if you do not want to play my game leave the city. This is like the image of former President Bush the cowboy telling Saddam to leave Iraq within 48 hours. I think that this image attributed to the movie being so popular because the American public can not get enough of that image of the wild wild west.

NFL and Pedigree

When I was watching the Pro bowl today, I saw a commercial for the dog product pedigree. It talked about how people should adopt dog from shelters. All I could think about was how the NFL is angling to make themselves look good. Especially before Michael Vick is released and probably reinstated into the league. Which will cause a uproar from animal rights activists. I think the NFL is just watching out for themselves as a business, and will point to this when they reinstate Vick. Just as people say they are not racist because they have African-American friends; the NFL will say that they are helping the cause because they have a sponsorship with Pedigree
