After yesterday's wealth of bad news and worse ideas, I decided to follow up with as much light info as possible.
ESPN has a story on the Ali v. Ali commercial that I hope you've had a chance to see. If only more advertisers (Budweiser, Quiznos - are you listening?) had the concept of inspiring and respecting their viewers was the positive way to go. Even so, this is a nice piece of work for a short ad from a shoe company.
This story is about the Top 10 Strangest toys. Some are truly disturbing.
Here we have an example of where the problems lie in: a) the name of your town, b) the motto used to celebrate the town, and c) prudes with their minds in the gutter.
They say the old ways are sometimes the best. When it comes to medicine, let's just hope I'm unconscious if this ever becomes a part of my treatment regimen.
I don't know if you visit Yahoo, but their main page was advertising their dating service and had this ridiculous picture of a girl named Erin. This was pretty much standard for the past few weeks. Something Awful had a couple entries for budding young artists with too much time and Photoshop to put in their own creations on this theme. Before I link them: these are for the most part offensive, as are most of the ads and links on the site. I don't condone most of them and many are of obscure cultural references. Do NOT go if you don't want to see off-color humor. Do NOT blame me if you go and are offended. You were warned. If you are still going, the galleries are here and here.
I have one political story, but its the most level-headed one I think I've posted all year. Remember Sen. Bob Kerrey? Ran for president a few years back? I was pulling for him but it never came to pass. Anyway, he has written an editorial for the Boston Globe attempting to get past the whole debate over Kerry and Bush's Vietnam records. I think, whichever side of this you are on, you should take a look at it.
