Have your say today.
Not that it’s in anyway binding, but this is a fun way for the rest of the world to participate on November 4:
world not ending
So the LHC didn’t destroy the world. Guess that means we all have to go back to work or school tomorrow (or in some people’s case more muffin baking, napping, and clashing with cats).
Earth Day FAIL
So today was the day that someone at work decided it would be a grand idea to box up all the plates, glasses and utensils we have and replace them with disposable plates, glasses and utensils.
Happy Earth Day.
FAIL.
Biggest Dick. Ever!
Take a read through this article from Autoblog and see if you can call to mind a more reprehensible, callous, self-centered, crass low-life. Go ahead give it a try.
Then for a bonus, provide an estimate of how many kilometers he should be dragged over broken glass beneath his own oh-so-precious car.

Truth on Youtube
Here’s a video from YouTube of an ad that was featured in this year’s Cannes Advertising Festival.

Ads
After coming home from London England, I’m actually comforted to know that the British can make TV ads that are every bit as stupid as the ones that we have here.
Writing lack
World events intrude on writing time and after September 11, I don’t have the urge to sit down and write. This continued for most of the month. It also didn’t help that I was shifting gears at the time from working on short fiction to the novel.
Commercial rant
I tend to watch more TV than I should. I can admit that. As a consequence of watching TV (aside from losing IQ points), I get to see a lot of commercials. A lot of commercials that I consider stupid, infantile, or just bad salesmanship. There are also a host of shows that fall into the same category; stupid, infantile, or just in bad taste.
My wife tells me that they aren’t aimed at me. They’re aimed at a younger (presumably less critical) audience. Supposedly they’re more affluent now and so they have lots of money to toss around. Whether they be commercials for products or for more TV shows, there doesn’t seem to be a lot aimed at me.
And for that I say, thank God!
After seeing these commercials and TV shows, I’m glad I’m slipping below the radar; that I’m no longer the prime target for advertisers and marketers.
I think I’d be more worried if I did understand the reason why people think someone like Tom Green is funny. Or if I laughed at some of the commercials that leave me agape.
I can’t list all the instances that leave me wondering “What the hell was that for?”, but follow the link for a funny commentary on The Lowest Common Denominator.
