Recently, Philly rappers Plastic Little had the ads for their ad card pulled from Vice Magazine, for being too offensive. Right. Here’s the ad in question:
The whole campaign for the “She’s Mature” album features tongue in cheek commentary that manages to offend just about everybody. But, if you walk away laughing and seeing that it is in fact, meant to be funny, then you got the point. Although I do think Vice got the point (they ran some of the other ads), they put the brakes on this one. Why? That’s the question that comes to mind. Well, it turns out that Vice didn’t care for the reference to Triple 5 Soul. Word is that the Triple 5 Soul is a huge supporter/money giver to Vice and they didn’t want to compromise that relationship. I guess you need it when your ad rates are ridiculous.

The moment has arrived. And no, it’s not the second coming of Jesus. Although, I do like to picture Jesus with, like, big angel wings, but that’s totally besides the point and completely irrelevant. What is relevant, and the moment you really care about concerns the [ 2 one 5 ] retail store. Tomorrow (February the Second, Groundhog Day, Whatever you want to call it), the doors of the store will swing open for the first time to the public. If you’d like to think of us as Willy Wonka and yourselves as, say, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, or Charlie Bucket himself than go ahead. While we may be dishing out delicious chocolate treats, we will definitely be unraveling our stock of t-shirts. Some will be on sale. Others will be full price. All are the hot shit. So come on out, bring the girlfriend/boyfriend, and grab yourself a t-shirt. There may or may not be free beer. Sorry, no pets. Ca$h Only (sorry credit vixens).
