Way to jump on a trend 5 years after it started NY Times: photographed celebs throw on a T-shirt, appear fresh faced with a look of pognaincy and smug self-satisfaction, urging you to buy a t-shirt to support whatever useless non-profit they donated to.

I have no tolerance or respect for millionaries who throw on a T-shirt and call it activism. Throwing on a T-shirt? I do that shit everyday. Sometimes I even put on a pair of pants. Every couple of days I brush my teeth. I go out there and I do my job which is to organize non union workers, fight the boss, lose sleep, eat shit and then I'm supposed to have Christy Turlington shame me into a buying a pink rubber bracelet?

Ugh you can your donate your mouth to my nuts, Christy (why don't have nuts? that would make that joke so much better!) Ya'll have seen hundreds of the ads I'm talking about. But really none compare to one particular AIDS campaign that made we want to have unprotected sex with multiple partners, roll around in used needles, and blow some Balitmore vagrants rather than donate to their campaign. I present it to thee:

Right. And I'm Jay-Z, you cooze.

Thank god some people are keeping it REAL for the rest of us!!!

Now I would like to show you some good ads. Creative and terrifying. They deliver their message clearly with the right balance of cheekiness AND gravity.
