W.S.G. pointed us in the direction of the Rap Chop. Somebody took that Slap Chop infomercial, autotuned it, and made it into a rap. Steve laughed so hard at it. He says the Fight Network always plays the commercial for that thing, so it was really funny for him because he’d heard the real thing …

Makes Me Think About That Whole Lotta Lovin’ Song They Used To Use In A Whole New Way
this Mr. Sub adwasn’t waiting until we got around to our next commercials post. Seriously, what the hell? Just…yeah, what the hell? I can’t say it sold me a sub, but I am thinking aboutyum rocketsfor some reason.
Big Loo
The other day, Steve asked me about something I had never noticed. He said, in old clips about robots, why are they pronounced like ro-bits?” I had never heard them talked about like that, so he told me about an ad for something called “Big Loo” that was some silly toy that was supposed to …
The Wearable Tool
Isthe Wearable Towelreally something the world was crying out for? Are regular towels honestly so complicated that you need “the towel with arm openings!”? what about bath robes? Putting on your clothes? Yes? Ok, just asking. I’ll say this for it though. It sure is nice to know that not only can it be worn …

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 …
Sports And Things
I’ll warn you all right off the bat that this post might be more disjointed and uninsightful (I think that’s a word) than usual. I’ve been on the disabled list since Friday with something that’s taken most of my appetite and even more of my energy and I’m pretty much only writing because I want …
We Notice Too Many Ads
Here we go again with the comercials. I saw an ad for Iams dog food that said that the food would produce the seven signs of healthy vitality. Uh, what other kind of vitality is there? I’ve never heard of unhealthy vitality. I guess cancer could have healthy vitality that would be unhealthy for you, …
Jiiiiimmmmmmyyyyyyy!
Steve’s post about train safety made me think of a youtube video I stumbled across while looking for another Play Safe ad that I wanted to find. Does anyone remember the “mean machines” ads? “they can hurt you….they can cut you…” I can’t find them anywhere. But what I found was far, far more terrifying. …
A Bunch Of Stuff From My Head
I’ve been thinking about afew things. Here they are in no particular order. My Trixie dreams have taken a new twist. They’re of two types: One has me going back to training, and some of my classmates are there, only this time, Trixie is with me. We just end up having a refresher, and I …
