Everybody sing. And a 1! And a 2! I just heard about Tim Horton’s dream donuts. I haven’t tried them yet, but I was curious what they’re all about and whether I should. I’m still kind of curious about them, but they remind me of the Creamy Chocolate Chill from days long ago, and the …

Why?
Why is my iPhone suddenly obsessed with getting me to mute notifications, especially ones from apps and conversations I tend to look at more than not? And why does hitting the “not now” button cause nothing to happen? Oh, and when I say obsessed, I’m not joking. The damn thing literally just tried to get …
Do You Know What I’m Talking About? You May Not, But You Can Always Ask Some Guy And Hope He Does
Without a hint of hyperbole, I just heard the worst radio commercial I have ever encountered in my 42 plus years of life on this planet. It’s so bad that, I shit you not, I’m honestly not even sure what it’s for. I’m fairly certain that it’s advertising some kind of drug or medical device …
Remember, That’s Klinik With Zero Regard For The English Language
How I failed to notice it before I do not know, but the other night I heard what might be the most useless ass radio commercial in the history of the earth. Yes, the earth. All of it. Back to a time before both radio and commercials, but not before the earth, obviously. It’s for …

Mmmmm…Creamy, Chocolatey Death
“Forensic Files II is brought to you by Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups” is a very weird sentence. Attention-grabbing I’ll grant you, but weird. Not sure if it’s the direction I’d have gone, but hey, if it works it works.
And I Mean It!
This TV commercial keeps coming on, and is yet another example of an ad that doesn’t say what it’s for. But it’s a campaign ad, and for some reason, that bugs me even more. The viewer can sort of discern that it’s NDP because of the talking points, but how do they know for sure? …
1-800-Got Nightmares
There’s this commercial that comes on for 1-800-Got Junk that says something about “Call 1-800-Got Junk. We’ll be there before you hang up the phone.” If I could link to it, I would, but it’s not anywhere I can find. Every time I see it, I can’t help but think of the bit called “No …
Shut Up, Team Prime Minister
My god, the balls on this guy. Canadians pull together? We work as a team? That’s how we get big things done? By finding ways to work together? It’s what we always do? Whatever you say, Mr. only person in the whole damn country who is convinced that nobody is working with him so we …
It’s A Beautiful Mover
Here’s something I didn’t know. On the same day that he tried out for the job of AC/DC lead singer, Brian Johnson also recorded a song for a Hoover vacuum cleaner commercial. That’s not bad. Not sure I would have figured out it was him had I not known going in, but there are definitely …
I Can’t Drink Lies!
Simply Orange’s slogan is blatantly dishonest. Ok, so a lot of things about orange juice Simply Orange included are blatantly dishonest, but for now we’ll stick with the damn slogan. “What happens in the orange stays in the orange.” Oh really, fools? Your product is orange juice. Orange juice, the very existence of which is …
