Sounds reasonable
Wednesday, January 24th, 2007There’s been a lot of talk about K-Fed’s Nationwide commercial. Like, “Why would I want to buy insurance from someone who puts K-Fed in a commercial?” and “I hate everything about him and what he stands for. What’s Allstate’s number?” Well, now the restaurant industry is upset because it wouldn’t be a funny spot if somebody didn’t get pissed off. The National Restaurant Association says the ad, which shows Federline daydreaming out the life he used to lead while filipping burgers “leaves the impression that working in a restaurant is demeaning and unpleasant.” Unlike banging Britney Spears and driving free Ferraris.

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007Crispin is awful
Saturday, January 20th, 2007The web is up in creepy chicken-skin arms over the George Romero homage to pop star Orville Redenbacher. I’m sure that the uproar is really going to hurt sales. And Crispin’s income. And their hotness. Show your protest by watching it over and over again, and then talking about it with all your friends. That’ll show them. And whatever you do, don’t Eat it.
I can’t believe I’m losing to this guy
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007I’m getting used to women realizing they can do better. The truth is, most of them can. They can do a lot worse, too. Probably.

Free High Quality Content
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007Watch those shows you missed without having to pay iTunes. Didn’t see last night’s nuclear attack on 24? Oh, sorry. Did I spoil it for you? Well, watch it, The Office, or pretty much anything the kids are into here.

I need to start talking to people by name
Friday, January 12th, 2007Someone has taken the time to compress the best part of every CSI: Miami into one delicious 7 minute Carusogasm – the opening squint/put on sunglasses/look off into distance/fade into Roger Daltrey sequence.

DARK SIDED TIVO ALERT!
Thursday, January 11th, 2007Next Friday, Jan. 19th, Fox’s Trading Spouses does the amazing. Marguerite Perin, the original God Warrior, returns to swap places again and move into the house of “an environmentally conscious and politically active black couple in Florida.” I guess she ran out of tainted money. If you believe in Jesus, you’re welcome to go back in time and relive the magic.

A long time ago, in pants far, far away

Sunday, January 7th, 2007
So 2007 is shaping up to suck pretty hard. The first week has pretty much been one giant box of crap on every front. The perfect shit storm. Even my 401k is looking like a waste of time. The dangerous thing about complaining is that it can always get worse. It’s not like I’m Burt Bacharach. Poor guy.
I’ve managed to not go off on anybody too hard, and though I suspect a few account executives would disagree, the truth is they don’t know what going off is. But the year is young.
Every cloud has a silver lining. Jesus must be looking out for my cholesterol, because I’m pretty sure I’ll never eat another corndog.
P.S. also managed to not be this guy, mostly because I’m too busy watching everything ever. but again, the year is young.
