Yet Another Ad Pile
It’s amazing that it doesn’t take us long to come up with another pack of ads that deserve mention. Here we go. They have these new Ford commercials telling you that you should really drive a Ford, and one of the big things they’re all proud of is how much electronic stuff is packed into …

More fury involving food. What a waste of perfectly good barbecue sauce and pickles to throw them on a car two nights in a row. They didn’t even manage to do any damage. What a weird way to get revenge.
Solona Update
