You're Nobody Until You've Been Banned in a Muslim CountryThis is interesting news. Ever wonder why an Islamic Government might have a problem with the content here at the AoSHQ? I mean, yeah, I can understand banning the Jawas, what with their irrational need to NOT be killed by some of the nuttier adherents of the Religion of Peace, but why ban Ace? Then I had an epiphany. This might be why we're banned in Turkey. Or maybe this. Possibly this. (all links SFW, unless you're working for PETA) I need to apologize to my co-bloggers. My pork obsession has deprived the AoSHQ of badly needed ad revenue at the same time PJM is throwing all their bloggers to the wolves and circling the financial wagons. I'm sure that Turkish readers would have been good for another $3 or $4 a month in ad revenue. I swear I'll make it up to you guys. Will you take a check? Oh yeah, and you might want to wait a week or two before cashing it. Hat tips all around to The Jawa Report, Instapundit (Amazon link), Hot Air, and AoSHQ regular Murph in Nevada.

Contacts: Second Annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival Grows To Accommodate Demand January 14, 2009 (Des Moines, IA) – Organizers of the first ever Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival were blown away last year when the 180 person event sold out over night. This year’s event, presented by metromix, will accommodate 280 bacon lovers and offer at least 13 varieties of bacon for sampling. “We were overwhelmed by the response to our inaugural event last year.” Said Brooks Reynolds, whose passion for bacon was the driving force behind the creation of the event. “We want to accommodate all bacon fans by increasing the capacity this year. It thrills me to know how many true bacon fanatics are out there!” he added. At least 13 different bacon purveyors will be on-site at the event sampling their bacon including Vande Rose Farms, Iowa Farm Family, Hormel, Tiefenthaler Quality Meats, Applegate Farms, Coastal Vineyards from California and Django. Last year, the guest who traveled the longest distance to attend the event was a man who goes by Mr. Baconpants from Pittsburgh. This year he will return with a film crew to document the event for his website dedicated to “all things bacon” www.mrbaconpants.com. Other websites who have featured the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival include www.baconunwrapped.com and www.baconfreak.com. Jeff Bruning, co-owner of the High Life Lounge and el Bait Shop was also interviewed on Sirius Satellite Radio and several other national radio shows as the event struck a chord with many bacon fans. The Second Annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival, presented by metromix, will be held on Saturday February 28 at the High Life Lounge and el Bait Shop – 200 SW 2nd - Downtown Des Moines from 10am – 4pm.
