Who Won The Debate?

McCain won by virtue of showing up and not imploding. Although it was his to lose because Foreign Affairs was, by all accounts, his area of expertise.
Obama won simply by showing himself to ” appear Presidential”
But the general consensus, by everyone not employed/deployed to a spin room was that no one was the clear victor.

I’m Sick Of The Main Stream Media!

I cannot stand this ‘Henny-Penny/Chicken-Little’ Attitude with the media lately.
The sky is not falling and the world is not going to hell in a handbasket.
But we are lead to believe it day in and day out.
Case(s) In Point:

For 18 months we have heard that we are in a recession. All Economic indicators have proven that [...]

Next VP Candidate

BREAKING NEWS: One of the Vice Presidential candidates will recuse him/herself this week!
I have it on good authority that early this week there will be a shake-up in the vice presidential race. It is the October Surprise that we’ve all come to expect.

Fringe Episode 3 “The Ghost Network”

Although this episode was called “Ghost Network”, the episode was hardly about that – and sadly, had no ghosts.
  The Ghost Network is a network that is on a different frequency than what is used for phones and radio transmissions, but if it could be tapped into, it would give someone a secret network that would allow [...]

Wow Ad Wednesday – #79 Gilette

When I first looked at it, I thought the message was something along the lines as “smooth as a baby”

But then I read the line, ‘Begin Early. Shave Yourself.’ So maybe, it’s so safe, a baby can use it. Or ‘If you start shaving young maybe you can get a five o’clock shadow going before [...]

Also known as the Ultimate Celebration of the Banal! YYYYEEAAAAAAAAHHHH.
The 5 Hosts (aka The 5 guys relegated to hosting reality show programs because they have no discernible talents of their own) are out to open the show and get this…they’ve got nothing. It’s not a bit. They really are such blow-hards that they couldn’t agree [...]

Fringe

Are you watching? Do you like? Is the writing awful enough for you?
See the Premiere Review here.

This second episode (“Magic Old Man Baby”) opened with one of the creepiest scenes I can remember ever being on television. This eppy deals with people rapidly aging so fast that within hours of their birth, they died from [...]

Wow, Ad Wednesday

Seems like a cute ad. (Thank goodness, it doesn’t seem to be dirty or sexual or anything…I was beginning to think Doc Ad had some sort of weird bet). But automobile advertisements, that’s something I can get behind.
If I understand correctly Peugot is advertising their fast reaction time. 

Tell me Doc Ad, is this a good [...]

Happiness Is…

I’ve recently discovered an odd scientific phenomenon. The red “pebbles” in Fruity Pebbles (TM) are always the last holdouts in your bowl of milk.
Now that I think about it…there really needs to be some more detailed analysis done on this controversial finding.
Don’t pity me, I do it all in the name of science.

Sometimes I get annoyed with the anthropomorphizing of animals…But fruit?
Now you have really gone too far, Advertising World.
I need a shower. For both me and my amazingly sensuous melons.
I feel like someone is trying to put their odd perversions in my head, trying to share their personal, screwed-up proclivities with the entire world. “See, I [...]

Who Will Be The Voice of the Next Generation?

Don LaFontaine
(1940-1968)
One of the most recongnizable, often mimicked voice over artists passed away. I cannot imagine movie trailers without that basso profunda intoning the ubiquitous, “In a world…”
(PS. Big money’s on Ryan Seacrest to fill the void. That guy does everything.)
