Discussion: Foul Ball: White House Misspells Boston Baseball Team As 'Red Socks'

I think he actually meant “bonered” here. No doubt he was still thinking of secks with Stormy.

Hmm. I wonder if Toadglans will regale the Red Sox with his “story” about how he was such a great baseball player in high school (despite his nascent bone spurs) that the New York Yankees wanted to recruit him. He’s even padded the story with a gem about how he turned them down because he didn’t want to outshine Yankees stars Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle.

Or the White Socks, per White House spelling guidelines.

Scarlett O’Hara agrees…

Rhett sucks!

No 'e wasn’t …

Who gives a damn?

Excellent. I’m going to use that one in the future. (It might even replace my standard go-to, “Your a idiot and a looser to.”)

Haven’t read much Trump business literature have you?

Probably self corrected from Red Sucks.

Not only is trump stupid; but, the people he hires seem to be pretty stupid. Will we survive this horror know as trump? I don’t think so. I imagine trump will be feeding the players that do show up fast food from America’s finest fast food joints.

Not much. Does the Trump Steak ad count? Because I could critique it from an advertising standpoint. My critique is I don’t see any features or benefits or unique selling propositions or any of the stuff that goes into ads to induce people to buy the product. I see Donald Trump pointing at steaks like an idiot. Oh, and I just noticed the reflections in the table and the too-dark right side where they need some fill light. That’s what you get when you cheap out on a photographer. The ad looks “classy” but it’s rife with mistakes a high-end creative team wouldn’t have made.

More precisely, he seems to want to shoot the already-dead steaks.

It’s wordlessly moronic but if it had words they might be “This is a steak durrrrrrrr…”

And he looks exactly like Liberace there. Exactly.

Well the sharper image so that explains a lot and it seems like they went with a really shiny table because they actually wanted the reflection. And interesting because I haven’t though of TSI in years and had no idea they are apparently around.

Ahh they must have gone out of business for a while. Name reused in 2010

They also forgot to remove the labels saying “Ruth’s Steakhouse”.

I’m going to say the reflections were an oversight done through sloppiness. The definitive book on photographic lighting goes on and on about how to avoid reflections like that. It sure doesn’t say much about adding them in. If you’re using it for effect you’d want it to be more dramatic, same as the too-shadowy half a face. You can tell when it’s done for drama. This looks like sloppy to me.

Remember that thing where they arranged a presentation of his stupid failed products after he got criticized by Hillary as a loser businessman? I think? They really did have labels that were like “Moe’s Meat Market” or some such. Everything the man ever did was schlock from top to bottom.

Think about it–if you were a person of average or above-average intelligence, would you want to sully your resume by having Trump listed on it?
