It’s a Jeep thing, I wouldn’t understand
A television ad aimed at people who don’t watch television. I wouldn’t think this makes much sense, but then, there are a lot of things I don’t understand about Jeeps. Like why anybody would want to own one.
Very filling. Tastes great.
The long-awaited Hines Ward/Max Talbot commercial for City of Champions Crunch Cereal is finally here. And it’s got production values that make Talbot’s A&L Motor Sales commercials look like James Cameron films. Let’s go to the videotape.
Watch the short lady over Talbot’s left shoulder at the five second mark … did she just stifle a burp? Watch closely. Unbelievable.
The “Street” and Sitcom Life
A couple recent Night & Day TV columns.
Ever feel that your life resembles a sitcom? I’m here to help. The newest column introduces the sitcom scale.
The other column is a nostalgic little somethin’-somethin’ about growing up with “Sesame Street.”
Rave on, NFL fans
Apparently, people who customize their NFL apparel have the same fashion sensibilities as the folks who design children’s clothing. You know, like the little shirts featuring random numbers and phrases, like “Slugger 18.”
“Big Red,” I suppose I can understand. But “Ham Bone” seems at least vaguely racist. “Raven King” is an odd choice. Even worse is “Ray Rave” over Ray Lewis’ number. Why would you put that on a jersey? What is that even supposed to mean? And a fan wearing a hoodie that reads “Pro Bowl” with the number 9 underneath … well, that’s just confusing.
So, feel free to customize your apparel, NFL fans. As long as it doesn’t include one of the more than 1,100 words and phrases banned by the league for use on said apparel. I’d link to it, but I’m still trying to keep this blog mostly family-friendly, and that includes the links.
