Citizen Marketing is where we catalog our favorite baby-Banksy agit-prop defacements of public advertising campaigns. Please send your own Citizen Marketing to tips@videogum.com. THE REVOLUTION WILL BE TUMBLR’D!
It has been almost a year since the last Citizen Marketing, and that was the only Citizen Marketing for all of 2009. Come on, 2010, we can do better! More criminal destruction of private property! (If writing that in any way opens me up to charges of aiding, abetting, or inciting illegal activity then I am JUST KIDDING!) I like this one because it’s not too ambitious. It just makes its case–that Mel Gibson is a holocaust denier–and it gets on with its day. As we all must. What are we going to do, stand around all day and talk about Mel Gibson’s insane political beliefs? The man is an alcoholic monster with a serious case of Old Face. Let’s just get on with it.

Almost as bad are the commercials for this movie shown during the American Tackle Ball Consortium’s Playoff games where they show clips of Mel and say “on the edge of darkness” then they show a play from one of the teams and say “on the edge of greatness.”
Mel Gibson: “I would like some secrets as long as there are no Jews around please.”
Hollywood, looking around, nope, all Jews here.
This reminds me of the day the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince book came out. I saw two guys walking around the mall wearing shirts that said “Snape is the half-blood prince” on the front and “Dumbledore dies” on the back. 3 kids started crying. Bastards.
How bout some SPOILER ALERTZ for that book I’m never going to read! Now I’m crying!
Do you want to know who dies first in the last book??? I was on the edge of my seat because I knew it HAD to happen in one of the first few chapters and when it finally did I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF. Laughed!! Because I have a demon soul? (probably) It did make all the other deaths less sad. all of them. Especially Hagrid’s. JUST KIDDING! (or am i?)
Don’t worry, I laughed heartily at Hedwig’s death, too. I mean, come on. A BIRD EXPLOSION! How is that not the funniest death scene in any book, ever?!
Oh how I’ve missed Citizen Marketing.
Edge of Darkness: “And You thought James Caviezel could take a punch…”
oh man, is it possible my two favourite blogs in the whole of the internet have collided? PublicAdCampaignGum!
we need some Poster Boy up in here:
if you thought that was good for a laugh, how about this:
Mark my words: The Beaver will be balls-out amazing in every single way.
Edge of Darkness: Some secrets take us to sugartits.
Alternatively: Bridget Jones: Edge of Darkness
I liked this movie better when it was called taken and didn’t star an anti-semitic asshole…
The shorter Edge of Darkness:
ah yes, because nothing will get that face into my nightmares FASTER than seeing it actual size.
