Yet Another Mini Rant

  • OK, anybody other than me get confused when they saw the news that the youngest Hanson brother got married recently? All I could think of were THESE guys, from the old movie Slap Shot. This news is guaranteed to make you feel old, no matter which way you spin it.
  • And yet another buzzkill is the commercial that I keep seeing for a mini-van featuring The Who's "Magic Bus". This is sad on so many levels I just can't stand it. Whether it's the mainstreaming of a song that was once "cool" (insuring that I date myself one more time), or the idea that if you buy this you'll be "hip" it's a questionable campaign. Bottom line...you're still driving a freakin' mini-van. And given Pete Townshend's alleged kiddie porn problems do you really want this association with a vehicle that's used to haul around children? Sure, pile 'em in the back and take 'em on a trip to The Neverland Ranch Daycare Center.
  • Perhaps I've spent too much time reading the ads on Craigslist (for entertainment purposes ONLY). When I see that T.S. Alberto is headed for Florida all I can think of is a tranny going there for a visit..
  • Just the other day I was ranting about places that use silly names that make ordering food frustrating or humiliating. Looks like Wendy's picked up on that vibe; Bye Bye Biggie!
  • Enough with the viral marketing. The first twenty times it might have been amusing or effective. But it's so overdone now that as soon as I get a whiff of what's going on I'm outa' there. And is this image from a Bacardi site supposed to entice me? I know there is a long and time tested tradition of using boobs to sell cars and alcohol, but this is a bit much!
