NRA Ad Before President Obama’s Speech on Gun Control

Posted on April 17, 2013 by

Fox News’ live stream of President Obama’s remarks on gun control Wednesday afternoon was prefaced by an advertisement by the National Rifle Association titled ‘Law Enforement Disagrees with President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg.’

Many viewers were obligated to view the video before the live stream would begin. President Obama’s gun control speech was delivered in response to a new background check deal defeated in the Senate the same day. Polls prior to the decision by Congress showed that the bipartisan-backed bill was supported 90%.

The NRA advertisement was uploaded to Youtube on April 16, 2013, with nearly 40,000 views by the end of President Obama’s remarks at the White House.

BMW Meteor Photo Too Soon?

Posted on March 2, 2013 by

BMW of North America sent out a newsletter via email on February 28, 2013 discussing the BMW Olympic Bobsled, DriveNow, and more. Just 13 days earlier, a meteor plummeted down and exploded above Russian soil, injuring over 1,000 people. Regardless, BMW decided to include this photo in the newsletter:

BMW Newsletter - Meteor

Does this have anything to do with the meteor event on February 15, 2013 in Chelyabinsk or the DA14 asteroid near-miss hours later? Probably not. Is the photo a bit too soon? Probably.
