Rudy Giuliani Forgets About 9/11

It is not surprising that noted nasty man Rudy Giuliani would casually say something so incredibly stupid as "we had no domestic attacks under Bush." It is weird that supposed journalist George Stephanopoulos does not bother to challenge this statement. More »

Are Birthers Really The New Truthers?

9/11 Truthers—the actual, self-declared movement Truthers—are, universally and without exception, morons. Van Jones signed a Truther petition, which was incredibly stupid, but he says he is not actually a Truther. Wha...? More »

That ridic WWF 9/11 spec ad that raised such a ruckus last week actually won an award from the One Club, don't forget. So now the One Club is banning all "fake ads" from their awards show. Wise. [Agency Spy]

9/11 Ad Fiasco Somehow Gets Dumber

DDB Brasil, the ad agency that made the stupid World Wildlife Fund 9/11 ad, had denied making the video version. Oh, actually though, they did make it. And submitted it to the Cannes Festival, for a prize. Woops. [Ad Age]
