World Wildlife Fund or World’s Worst Fumblers?

It used to be that the WWF, the World Wildlife Fund, was best known for chokeslamming Vince McMahon and taking away his logo. But now they’re the ones getting taken to the mat.

You may have seen this ad:

911tsunami-large

You can see the full-sized ad here. According to Adweek, the copy at top-right reads: “The tsunami killed 100 times more people than 9/11. The planet is brutally powerful. Respect it. Preserve it.” Followed by the WWF web address and logo. It’s comparing a tsunami, an act of God, with 9/11, an act of bloodthirsty madmen. It’s equating a natural disaster with an act of mass murder.

When this ad started circulating online, the outcry was universal. Why, it was so bad, Keith Olbermann said that DDB Brasil, the agency that created the ad, was even worse than Glenn Beck. And to Olbermann, that’s pretty darn bad.

The WWF and DDB Brasil have since put out a series of contradictory statements about the ad. First, the WWF had nothing to do with it. Then DDB said it had been approved by the WWF. Then, okay, the WWF did approve it, but of course they immediately realized their mistake and the creative team behind it is no longer with the company.

It remains to be seen how they’re going to explain this. WARNING: Don’t watch this if you still remember 9/11 and are on blood pressure medication:

Holly Madison Doesn’t Realize Hugh Hefner Has A Type

hugh-hefner-blondesHugh Hefner’s ex-girlfriend and Girls Next Door queen bee Holly Madison is seriously miffed that Hef has moved on already:

On her issues with confidence: “Living with Hef brought down my self-esteem a lot. I was comparing myself to the other girls… You have to look a certain way at the mansion. If you look at Hef’s girlfriend now, she basically looks like a clone of me. It’s kind of weird.”

On going under the knife: “When I was younger, I was the first person in my class to start getting boobs, so I thought I was going to be huge. But I stopped growing before everybody else started. That was a big letdown… I compared myself to those [Playboy playmates]. I knew what I wanted to look like and was kind of disappointed. I had a butt and no boobs.”

“Plastic surgery made it easier for me to get things I wanted in my career. Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am today… My nose photographed really big in front of my face. If I wanted to do anything in the entertainment industry, I needed to get it fixed. I was definitely happy with the results. It made me more confident. And a lot of doors open when you look a certain way.”

But Holly can’t pretend that she was the first insecure peroxide blonde playmate to ever catch Hef’s eye. I’m not sure that Crystal Harris is any more a clone of Holly Madison than she is yet another sexed up and Barbie-fied version of his first wife, who broke his heart and predated both girls by more than 60 years.

Also, I know Holly is supposed to be one of the smarter playmates, but how does she go from “having to look a certain way brought down my self-esteem” to “plastic surgery made me more confident and opened doors for me” in a single breath? Which is it, now?
