So, um, I don’t know much about cars.1 I know this is a shocker. Everything about this blog says I should be well-versed in automotive technology. But I was raised by a parent who leased rather than purchased and so took the car right back to the dealer for it to worry about if something [...]

a dish best served fraudulently

Not since the “I can’t believe it’s not butter” ads with Fabio have we seen such trickeration in the marketing of food.
Pizza Hut has been running these commercials in which the surprise is that you’re eating Pizza Hut food and not the food of the restaurant you’re sitting in. The ad campaign started with Tuscani [...]
meals not miracles

This picture has virtually nothing to do with this post.
But I thought it was funny. So it made the cut.
Moving right along.
So there’s this little show that doesn’t get enough exposure. But maybe you’ve heard of it. It’s called Top Chef. In high school, I had an idea for a show that would become wildly [...]
couples jokes make my face die
Posted in tv, tagged bad jokes, commercial, couples, Olive Garden on September 30, 2009 | 21 Comments »
I do not care for couples humor in my TV viewing blocks. I like to stay on the cutting edge of funny1 and couples jokes are about as sharp as the little utensils that came with your Play-Doh set when you were a kid.
You know what I mean. Often, it’s about the absurdity of trash [...]
Media Blitz – Vol. 1: Disappointment
Posted in celebrity, music, tv, video, tagged Cougar Town, Courtney Cox, Evergrey, Glee on September 24, 2009 | 18 Comments »
This here is a media blitz. Ready? Let’s go.
First up, Different Worlds by Swedish progressive metal band Evergrey.
Let’s not mix words: worst song ever.
Eighth track on their third album, In Search of Truth. The album is a concept album. The concept is simulated alien abduction. True to concept, some of the lyrics:
All my pride has [...]

… ended with Neil Patrick Harris presenting me the Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for my brief stint on Mad Men. Not only had I broken the color line on Madison Avenue in the episode in which I starred, but I also managed to be in the same room as Christina [...]

So last night I’m sittin’ up in my room, thinkin’ about you and what I’d write for today. Miss Bianca’s sifting through the Comcastic menu and stops — because how can you ignore? — on VH1’s 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the ’80s.¹
And you know what? Some of those people were kinda [...]
just might be an ADDiction
Posted in homelife, journal, tv, video, tagged a breather (ironically) on August 18, 2009 | 18 Comments »
I need another project. Got anything for me? Just a little to get me through. Not much; just enough to get from now to tomorrow.
I gotta stay one jump ahead of the breadline; one swing ahead of the sword.
I am so the guy who wants to be keyed in most of the time. Probably would [...]

Throw your hands in the air!
*crowd thrusts hands*
And wave ‘em around like you’re screaming for your life!
*crowd drops hands, wonders wtf is going on*
Cuz it’s Shark Week, mofos!
*crowd catches on, recommences hand-waving*
That’s right: Shark Week. It’s the week when the Discovery Channel strives to convince us that sharks are just misunderstood, intelligent killing machines [...]

I’ve said it once before but it bears repeating: more parents should teach their sons and daughters that “curves” is not a dirty word. No debating that today. It’s a fact; like the fact that peanut butter and jelly are always better when they’re together.¹
But back to curves.
Although it’s been said, many times, many ways [...]
