Or so a perplexing commercial told me. I really wish I could find a copy of this commercial online so that you all could see the lamest commercial ever.

But in the spirit, I hereby propose some more awesomely awesome advertising slogans:

  • If you love Manatees, you’ll love IKEA!
  • If you love Harley Davidson Motorcycles, you’ll love Arby’s!
  • If you love USB Flash Drives, you’ll love this Monster Truck Rally!
  • If you love carpet, you’ll love turpentine!
  • If you love mandarin oranges, you’ll love Netflix!

Feel free to add to the inanity in the comments.

Really- taking your “fame” so seriously?

That is sad.



An update on a post from a few days ago…

Things are heating up with the SEIU. The meta-union picketed the union on Friday.

Ed Morrisey wonders:

Gee, I wonder if the SEIU employees at HQ crossed the picket lines today. Did they hire thugs to beat themselves up — or did they hire them to beat up the protestors? Inquiring minds want to know…



The other day I was wondering… what are Cheetos. I mean, Fritos are corn chips (“Corn chips are no place for a mighty warrior“) and Pringles are 42% potato, but what are Cheetos?

According to the packages, they are cheese-flavored snacks, but that’s neither reassuring, nor helpful. The answer is, they are ‘corn’ in nature.

According to the wiki, they are made of corn[meal] and water. Original Cheetos are then extruded and fried. They get their shape from being heated, which makes the water in the snack turn to steam and expand. They are then “cheese” coated. Puffs, Paws, Twists, Ball, and Whirls varieties are oven-dried.

It ain’t easy… being cheesy…

I caught (most of) a new episode of Scrubs the other night. I was disappointed to find that one of my old favorite shows is just as predictable as ever. Dr. Cox went on a rant, JD was self-righteous, Elliot was self-conscious, and the janitor was picking on JD… oh, and it was one of those lame shows where other characters have inner-monologues. The sad part is, I didn’t find it funny anymore. Played. So played…



I don’t know if it’s REALLY the word of the day or not, but according to my g-mail ads, the word of the day is “Feckless!”

It means “ineffective; weak; worthless.”



That would be Sully, of course. This video shows flight simulator footage to go along with the Air Traffic Control audio. Amazing.



Because they allegedly take more energy to cool down in the summer.

I would have put her in her mid-to-late 50′s. So the plastic surgery was effective.



Mothering Sunday, as it’s called over there, is celebrated on the Fourth Sunday of Lent, rather than the second Sunday in May, as in North America.
