Sylph - She Bites

I'm a little confused. :/

location: corvid manner
mood: confused
music: Relic Song - Faith and the Muse
So, I'm driving home about 10 minutes ago, and I've got the radio on. And since the news is stressing me out, I've got commercial radio on. Which has commercials. uh, yeah.

So there was this commercial for diamonds, and it was all, "We sell exquisite diamonds, but there is something more precious you can give than an exquisite diamond. Which is..." (pregnant pause)... And my brain says, "Blood! EVERYONE MUST GIVE BLOOD OMG! It's totally the most awesome thing to give! Go diamond place!"

And then the diamond place continues, "I. Love. You. blah blah blah tell her you love her every day, diamonds are what we sell but the most precious thing you can give is freeeeee..."

and I was like, ".___. whut. NO YOU STUPID PEOPLE GIVE BLOOD! D: D: D:"

the hell? what's wrong with my head?

But, who's gonna give blood if they don't have love?

Hateful, stingy people don't give blood. (Also, needle-phobics, diseased people and probably some other sorts.)

I know, right? I totally should have been happy that the stupid annoying diamond place was not really overtly pimping their death rocks and were promoting peace and good relationships and all "it' the twu meanings of teh death rocks. Wuv two wuv..." 'cause that's totally not their style, you know?

It weirded me out that I was so disappointed that they didn't advocate giving blood. :/ (and I'm weirded out that Iwas weirded out. weird.)

I don't understand your aversion to pure carbon crystals, which are shiny and heat resistant, but I'm glad to hear that you care so much about giving blood. :)

The issue is not the pure carbon crystals themselves, but with all of the financial and sociological baggage they bring with them.

Diamond cutting wheels and drill bits and sharpening plates? Way cool.

Diamond rings? Meh.

Actually, blood is one of the best gifts one can give, the gift of life to someone who needs it. So I don't think your head is messed up at all!

I'm *totally* down with that! I always give blood whenever there's a drive near me. (usually at work) and they give you cookies and juice! Win!

a-friggin'-men. I think I might hate them more than anything else on the radio.

I think I'd rather listen to dying bunnies. for real.

i would rather listen to diamond commercials, but that's partially since i am not yet recovered from the heartbreak of the baby rabbits this fall up here.

diamond commercials suck ass, however. they would be way cooler if they included plugs for blood donation.

Heh. I've given blood maybe 25 times since I turned 16 (? is that possible? I'm only 24 now) and I think it's almost always done more good than the love I've given. I mean, I have O+ blood, which is a pretty awesome present. My love is pretty run of the mill by comparison.

For a moment there, I thought you were going to talk about blood diamonds.

Anyway, despite what the American Red Cross™ website says, not everyone can donate “lifesaving blood.” They still discriminate if you’re gay or of Haitian descent, like me.

Well, I’m one of those, anyway…

I like Diamonds...

They're beautiful, and old and miraculous and alive with light and color... Some but not all diamonds are death rocks. If you're going to have them you should be responsible enough to investigate their origin.

Blood is good -- I can see why you went there but -- I have a HUGE issue with vampires like LifeSource, who suck your blood for free and then sell it to the hospitals for something like $400.00 a bag -- and then the hospital tacks another couple hundred on to that and you end up with a $3200.00 bill -- like I did.
Much more offensive to me than a diamond -- I can live without diamonds -- The REAL "blood money" is not as benevolent a picture as LifeSource and its ilk would have you believe.

Re: I like Diamonds...

yus. it's the origins that bother me. :/ (and the stupid, annoying sappy commercials that end up not really saying anything at all. bleah.)

and yus! the destination of your donated blood is a good thing to investigate too!!

why are companies so unresponsible? *sigh* it's such a shame, really. :(((((

Re: I like Diamonds...

I can't think of many commercials that aren't stupid or sappy if there's anyway to put that in there.
