In the advertising world, brand identity is everything. Volvo means safety. Colgate means clean. IPod means cool.

Al Gore's son, Gore III, was arrested in Los Angeles yesterday for having some pills and some pot in his car.
He admitted to smoking some weed before he drove, and that's not good. This guy may not serve jailtime if he's lucky, but most people in his situation do serve jailtime. It is a victimless crime (except for the driving part) and if anything, this kid needs substance abuse help, not time behind bars.
Drug laws are a travesty to this country. How inhumane, how pathetic, how evil.
FREE GORE 3!!!
