Commercials drive me friggin nuts! Just heard one for Laker beer that said “You deserve an easy drinking beer for a hard working price.” What? Does that shovel full of marketing horsecrap even mean anything? Easy drinking beer…for a hard working price. Let’s break this down. I know what an easy drinking beer is. It’s …

Today’s Worst Thing I’ve Ever Seen: The Baby Bullet Infomercial
I just spent 10 minutes of my life watching this Baby Bullet infomercial. No, I haven’t the slightest clue why. It’s awful even by infomercial standards. Seriously, just watch this acting. And when I say acting I’m not meaning to insult actual actors, I’m just fresh out of synonyms. This woman and her emphasis! of …

Molson Canadian: Made From No Thanks
Is it just me, or do the Molson Canadian commercials that have been on for a while now make you want to blarf? What’s with that slogan? “Made from Canada”? That sounds…terrifying. It’s even more terrifying than getting stuck drinking Canadian because you’re at somebody’s place and you’re not wanting to be a prick to …
Ooo! Look At My Brand New Commodore 64!

The Cozycast Is Finally Here!
Sorry this is going up so late, and sorry for the general neglect of this place over the last little while.

Hopefully things can start getting back to normal soon, but to hold you over until …
Stone Road Mall’s Ad Agency Needs To Hit The Road, Again
Stone Road Mall has done another one of those hit the road commercials Ilove so much. This one, as impossible as it seems, might be even worse than the last one. I’m paraphrasing here, but I promise you I’m not leaving anything out. The boot kick. the toe tap. the foot stomp. Every winter, before …

>Simple, Effective, Funny! I Like It!
>Somebody at a sanitary pad company over in Pakistan was thinking, and every time I think about it, I chuckle. Everybody’s heard of WikiLeaks. If you haven’t, seriously, get out from under that rock. So, the makers of a feminine hygiene product called Butterfly decided to sort of take advantage of WikiLeaks’s being a household …
Did Somebody Say McPlastic?
I saw an ad on the site saying that McDonald’s gift cards make a convenient and delicious Christmas gift. I’m with them on convenient, I love gift cards. Those magical little bastards make my gift giving life so much easier. But delicious? Who’d they get to test that, and how pissed off is he going …
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Posts
I’m sitting here and I can hardly believe it’s exactly two weeks before Christmas. How in hell did I get here and how did it happen so fast? I agree with Steve that it doesn’t seem possible that it’s already Christmas again. In fact, when I try and think of things I’ve gotten people, I …
