First, what set off this A/C (me) was an advertisement by Lands’ End in the June 2010 issue of Ladies' Home Journal. Reading material provided in my dentist's waiting room is limited. I freaked when I saw the ad. It is clearly an “in your face” on the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. There is no other way to take it when you are US American from a Southeastern state.

The ad is in the June issue and it takes a long advance on ad copy to the publisher for print in these nationally distributed publications. This ad could not have been placed after the April 20th rig explosion and spill, but before. Based on information we now have and logical consequences, we surmise that the real spill happened in February and that the April 20th rig disaster was a planned mass murder to use as an excuse for the oil in the Gulf.

Lands’ End is a preppy mail order house and is also the name of a place on the shore of the Atlantic side of England. A lot of tourists visit there when England is on their itinerary.

The ad is full-page of a swimsuit model, clear ocean beach water with a float plane landing in the distance. At the top of the ad page:

“What’s on your Horizon?”

The body of the ad reads: “A break halfway around the world? ……. Quality and trusted value everywhere.”

The bottom of the ad page:

“That’s Lands’ End®”
“Guaranteed.Period®”

[Just in case the glp font doesn’t recognize the trademark symbol, the characters at the end of these two statements at the bottom of the page are registered trade marks.]

The ad is on page 33.

This ad is slamming the 33s and every Southern US citizen.

There is more and I’ll put that in a subsequent post.
