The Return of... Dusty!

My male readers should be pleased.

Only a two week buy this time 'round... but we'll take what we can get.

Hey...! That's Not Dusty Update: Okay, they seem to have a different model this time. Cute, and I like the miniskirt, but... where is the real Dusty?

Update! Well the readers have spoken, and I have sent an email. I've asked the advertiser to please bring back "Classic Dusty."

I don't know if he wants to, but I asked.

I know thats not the real Dusty but in the spirit of diversity and inclusiveness I say Welcome to AOSHQ!

This is unacceptable. This new girl looks like a photo of a Barbie doll. Where is the real Dusty? Her image is seared, seared into my memory.

hurrah! now if only that tshirt company would use the Dusty models...

Hey the lady in the t-shirt ad is pretty hot too!

Posted by: Larry on February 24, 2005 12:02 PM

Apparently some of the slow-witted (or less hormone-motivated) among us--not usually a mutually exclusive set of criteria--failed to notice that the fine establishment at which these women work has kindly provided wallpaper versions of them for our constant viewing pleasure. (Such as when Ace's site is down.)

Yes, the original Dusty was better, though variety is the spice of life and New Dusty does appeal to the cheerleader fetish some of us may suffer from.

Still, Dusty's rack was a marvel.

And Old Dusty's abs put Keira Knightley's to shame:

If I were to buy a t-shirt over the internets, I would have bought Dusty, b/c of the old ad. Now this "young Helen Thomas" (lol) is forcing me to reconsider that purchasing decision.

The Girl is not especially aesthetic in the face, and while hed form is more than appealing, she lacks a certian, um, somethings, that we have come to know and love about her predecessor. Plus, she's so damn small in the pic that details are difficult to discern.

Oh, well, keep clicking through and hopefully they'll bring back the Dusty we know and love (sarah) or at least give us a better pic of an unattainable girl to ogle for a while.

What's a PARSE ERROR, and why is it preventing Ace's main page from loading?

Posted by: hobgoblin on February 24, 2005 01:01 PM

OK, I may be one of the few "NON-STRAIGHT" readers of ace, but I think the two t-shirt girls are kinda skanky. I do not remember this "Busty" you guys are refering to, guess she did not leave much of an impression on me.

Posted by: Marty on February 24, 2005 01:08 PM

Best. Advertiser. Ever.

Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on February 24, 2005 01:24 PM

I may be one of the few "NON-STRAIGHT" readers + [Dusty] did not leave much of an impression on me = Duh.

Marty, what do you think the connection might be?

; )

Posted by: hobgoblin on February 24, 2005 01:52 PM

I porked all of 'em.

Posted by: rdbrewer on February 24, 2005 01:57 PM

I'd hit it.

Yes.

Would.

Yea, verily, if she were to partake of unleavened biscuits in our common bed I would not forsake her.

Posted by: tachyonshuggy on February 24, 2005 02:15 PM

Guys. which of these ladies is "the" dusty from the original ad? http://www.dustybrand.com/desktops.asp

I think it was the one from sarag.jpg, but I'm not sure. But rather than clicking the link I provided, go through Aces site, so he gets the clicks.

Posted by: SteveL on February 24, 2005 02:36 PM

Hobgoblin - the Parse error means you have to send $49.99 to Ace immediately or your mouse will start chewing on Swedish phone cables. Sorry, dude.

Meanwhile, I'd like to go on record as agreeing with everything everyone said about Dusty.

Posted by: Cheese_tensor on February 24, 2005 03:04 PM

Cheese,

Including Marty?

hahahaha

Posted by: hobgoblin on February 24, 2005 03:31 PM

Gobbie - Touche.

...but I would do Ann Coulter. I agree with Marty on that.

Posted by: Cheese_tensor on February 24, 2005 03:46 PM

Dusty may be hot, Ann may be bitchy, and Hillary may be... something to someone, but none of them can carry Condi's boot-wax.

No takers on the All Being, Master of Time, Space, and Dimension?

It's a Steve Martin bit, maybe from Comedy is Not Pretty. The bit goes, "I've been setting goals for myself. The trick to setting goals is to not start off with something too unobtainable so you just get discouraged. Start of with something you can accomplish, and then move on to the next one.

"So, my first goal is to become the All-Being, Master of Time, Space, and Dimension.

"And then I want to go to Europe."

It's funnier, you know, when it's not just written out on paper.

Few people remember that Norm MacDonald began his career as a ventriloquist
MacDonald's old partner Adam Egot revealed that MacDonald repurposed a bit with one of his ventriloquist dolls -- that he was a "bad guy" who "didn't believe the Holocaust happened" -- for the Norm MacDonald show, in which he claimed Egot didn't believe in the Holocaust.

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over

"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)

No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.

Now they've lost 84%.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.

Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.

Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party

STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.

Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.

Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
