March 24, 2008
Paul Tilley, Ad Giant
Are the anonymous bloggers responsible for what happened?

We are shamed that we caught the ad running on Tribble Ad Agency because we strongly disagree with the stance taken by the The Responsibility Project. We are taking steps shortly to remove their ad from our site.

It’s not right at all to blame a news outlet for reporting stories. It’s wrong to extreme levels and it violates our first amendment right to report news and opinions. The Media is an establishment that needs to exist.
Agency Spy reports on the Advertising Agency Business…. Why doesn’t Responsibility Project run AdWords campaigns railing against all media outlets that report any negative story?
This is the story they are running and paying to promote via Google Adwords.
It’s wrong to blame a news outlet for what happens by reporting the news… it sets a bad precedent .. next time something happens that deserves to be reporting, we will have all the news outlets sweep it under a rug. From now on only happy news is allowed to be reported.
The suicide of Paul Tilley was horrible to extreme levels, but because he killed himself it now means that it’s now a ‘bad thing’ to report on any questionable management style?
We are not allowed to discuss any (in our opinion) poor preforming CEO or upper management executive because one individual killed himself?
Last thing, it’s questionable that the blog posting had anything to do with it, as we had some articles that were pulled from news sources that stated a far differing reason than a blog post from Agency Spy.
Amazing to run an Adwords campaign with the sole purpose of slamming an Advertising Agency news outlet. Yes it’s their first amendment right to voice their opinion, but it’s ours to say their opinion is wrong.

Edit: We just caught wind from the Ad Week Blog that Liberty Mutual owns the ResponsibilityProject.com

[...] No, no… Mamabistro hasn’t sold us out, yet. In fact, it’s more like a hostile take over… of sorts. Liberty Mutual, an insurance company that pimps the tagline “Responsibility. What your policy?,” is being irresponsible. The brand is buying up key words such as Paul Tilley and AgencySpy to drive traffic to their website. The blog The Tribble Agency was kind enough to let us know about all this weirdness yesterday, since some of the Google keywords appear on their site. See them here. [...]
Thanks for that… “The Responsibility Project” would seem to be the best example of an oxymoron I’ve seen in years. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Does God Love His Creations?
As caring and compassionate individuals who love and respect Mother Nature and Her sentient animals, both human and non-human, my wife and I find little comfort in the treatment of His creations by the biblical God. If He created nature, then He also must have created agony, suffering and pain as a never-ending part of nature’s cycle of life.
Without going into a discussion of the scores of “origin myths”, which parallel and preceded the biblical Adam and Eve story, and “original sin” as cast upon the then-known world by the biblical God Yahweh, this article focuses on God’s apparent complete disregard for His creations.
It should be apparent to any caring, loving and empathetic human that no benevolent “being” could have designed nature. And the “creator God”, who creationists envision of biblical lore, was certainly no friend to His human and non-human animals. God supposedly created non-human animals in a weak and vain attempt to provide subordinate helpmates for Adam in his management of the garden. It was the failure of this plan that, according to ancient Hebrew history and mythology, made the creation of the first women - first Lillian and then Eve - necessary. Lillian was a complete failure because she insisted on equal rights with Adam (the first women’s equal rights warrior!) and was replaced with a more docile creature, Eve. Incidentally, one Jewish midrash suggested that Eve was in fact created from “Adam’s side” (which some have interpreted as perhaps being his tail!). Talk about your evolution!
As the story of original sin unfolds, it must be assumed that the Lord introduced death into the world when he created coverings of animal skins for the human malefactors. And God introduced horrible agony and painful suffering to all of his sentient creations by setting every animal of higher form to feed upon lower forms of life. Darwin’s evolution carries this horror a step further in the survival of the fittest being determined by the ability to be more the diner than an item on nature’s menu. Most insects and animals die agonizing deaths. And human beings are not spared this pain as we are weakened and killed by organisms that cannot be detected by the naked eye - even though we no longer are victims of creatures of prey as often as in the perilous past. There are even a few scientists who believe that even plants can feel pain and stress, which only suggests more agony.
Religious superstition added to the distress of animals in cultures which demanded sacrifice to their deities. The best and often only acceptable sacrifice was the one involving the gift of the finest animals (or the first son). The Bible pictures the shedding of blood as absolutely essential in many cases. Paul says, “Without shedding of blood [there] is no remission [of sin].” (Heb.9:22). Blood had to be spilled to redeem human beings from their original sin. Old Testament sacrifices under the Mosaic law on the part of the Jews were usually carried out with animals, although human sacrifice was not unknown and, according to biblical writings, was even demanded by the Lord on several occasions. The ritual of sacrifice, preserved in the Paschal Lamb of the Jewish Passover, culminated in the human sacrifice by God of his flesh and blood living son Jesus Christ. Supposedly, even God in the form of His living body was meant to bleed! Christians are “washed in the blood of the Lamb.” (Rev. 7:14). Christianity, in its derivation from the ancient fearful need to appease vindictive gods, is actually no nobler than the religions of savages who regularly and cruelly practice human sacrifice. The blood of human beings and animals is the great purifying agent of the Bible. Ancient Egyptians, and particularly soldiers, were accustomed to stand in a pit and let the blood of sacrificed bulls pour over them. They believed themselves to be purified and strengthened by the blood bath. The Bible prolongs this gruesome superstition. More recently, a picture in the Ledger newspaper shows an Orthodox Jew waving a live chicken over the head of a small girl, believing that her sins will be transferred to the chicken which is then killed thus supposedly vanquishing the girl’s sins from planet earth.
There are hundreds of examples throughout the bible of the so-called “loving, gracious, and compassionate” God and His treatment of living sacrifices. Such examples can be found in Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Numbers, Judges, Samuel, Kings, Job, and of course, in Luke (8) where He cast out devils into 2,000 innocent pigs who then run frantically into a lake and die.
It cannot be denied that at times the Lord displays a grisly form of kindness to animals, as a means of taking revenge upon various persons or groups who have aroused his wrath. He sends two she-bears to tear to pieces 42 children who are teasing a prophet (II Kings 2:23). He permits the lions in the den to break the bones of Daniel’s accusers and those of their wives and children (Daniel 6:24), lets dogs feast on Jezebel’s body (II Kings 9:35,36), and constantly threatens to send beasts to eat the flesh of his Chosen People (Ezekiel 33:27).
Finally, in Revelation 19:17,18, we have a rare description of heaven where it appears with strange beasts, which seems more a description of hell than heaven, where in the days of judgment described in the Apocalypse, the fowl of the air are invited to feast on both animals and humankind: “And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.” Can we really “praise this God from whom all blessings flow”?!
