Sexist Coffee Ad (ca. 1960s)

I believe the first ten seconds of this ad are quite possibly one my favorite moments of vintage footage ever. Harvey and his wife’s breakfast bliss is shattered when he inexplicably rips into her coffee making ability, makes a veiled threat that he’s going to start looking for other women, and then, in one of history’s great passive-aggressive turns, declares “Well, see you later” and exits dramatically stage left.

Of course this outburst is entirely the fault of the wife’s poor culinary skills, but once her non-fazed friend turns her on to instant Coffee (as opposed to, say, some counseling) the only rift in their otherwise rock-solid union is closed and the loving couple enjoy a romantic evening in their now completely dark living room.

Of course we all know it’s only a matter of minutes until Harvey blows up at another trivial matter, but it doesn’t matter by then. Folgers has made it’s point: If you don’t buy their coffee, your husband will start sleeping around at the office. An axiom that remains true today.

Coffee with Claire for February 13, 2011

Claire is back in the saddle again, bringing you another Coffee with Claire after a brief haitus. This week, I reveal the shocking truth about why Rhymemaiden1 was closed, talk about upcoming projects and highlight the creatard currently in my sights. I also expand on my pessimism about the future of America, using the scientifically illiterate views of a young man to illustrate why I entertain little hope for the future of my nation. skinnyjohnson’s channel is at http://www.youtube.com/user/skinnyjohnsen

Become a Founding Member of Coffee Party USA

http://www.coffeepartyusa.com/become-founding-member
A year ago, the Coffee Party was launched unexpectedly by a simple update of my Facebook status. I’m writing to you today because this genuine, truly grassroots movement deserves a chance to grow.

In order to grow from our all-volunteer, grassroots movement into a national organization with a permanent presence, we need to hire a new media communications and grassroots organizing staff to build capacity and provide better support for our local organizers.

As we enter our second year, we’d like to invite you to support us by becoming a Founding Member of Coffee Party USA. If you join us in the month of February, you will receive a bumper sticker and a personalized card recognizing you as a Founding Member.

It’s amazing how much we have done with so little in 2010. We have over 120 local chapters, over 1500 events have been organized, and more than 400,000 people have become engaged online. We did all of this in the spirit of volunteerism and civic duty, with a budget just over $70,000, raised from thousands of donors averaging $17 each.

Imagine what we can accomplish with a budget at least twice what we had in 2010?

With emerging social media technology, your support, and the enduring values we share as Americans, we can rein in corporate influence on our government, and usher in a new era of informed, effective, and responsible self-governance.

To sign up for a 1-year Founding Membership: https://secure.coffeepartyusa.com/page/contribute/membership_signup

To sign up for a Sustaining Membership with automatic renewal: https://secure.Coffeepartyusa.com/page/contribute/Sustaining_Member

Thank you so much for your commitment, support and participation.

—Annabel, Eric & the Coffee Party National Team

Special Thanks to The Flobots for inspiring us and inspiring America with your music.
