Aside from this Sunday’s ridiculously named Great Balls of Fire PPV which has been built fairly well and actually looks pretty good on paper, I’m getting pretty goddamn sick of WWE these days. I’ve gone over the reasons why more times than I can count here, so I won’t bother doing it again. I will …

If Real People Commercials Were Real For Real
It’s no secret that companies think we’re stupid and have no problem insulting our intelligence. To me one of the worst examples of this is the “we talked to real people to get their thoughts on our brand new…” type ad. Anyone with even the faintest snort of a clue knows that everybody in the …

Lol Im Suin Ur Ass 4 Teh Movie
On one hand,I have a feeling Brandon Vezmar might be a little bit nuts. But on the other, I’m totally on board with the logic behind suing a failed date for $17.31 for the cost of a movie ticket and pizza because she chose texting over the date you paid for. Seriously, if you can’t …

I just read a story about the rise and fall of commercial jingles and how changes in the advertising, television and music industries brought and continue to bring it about.

It Better Be A Good Prize If I’m Showing You That
This Oreo commercial is everywhere on TV lately, but no matter how many times I see it and how used to it I should be by now, the stupid thing catches me off guard every single time. Why? Well, just listen to the song. I don’t care what the contest is called or what the …

So Long, Bob Robertson
I grew up on a steady diet of Air Farce and Double Exposure, often taping the weekly episodes off the radio so I could listen to them over and over again. So news that Bob Robertson, who without a word of exaggeration may be the best impersonator I’ve ever heard, died last week, bummed me …
Chop, Steele And Hoax
Remember Chef Keith, the guy who managed to trick five TV news shows into having him on? Well, he’s at it again, this time as half of strongman duo Chop and Steele. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avU5URR88KU Local morning news shows have a lot of air to fill each day.

If Those Menu Prices Look A Little Higher Next Time You’re Out, Thank Bell And Rogers
Bell and Rogers, the two companies that we might as well call one company since they’re working together on sports team ownership, are now conveniently working together to hold up bar and restaurant owners for more money just as those sports teams are about to hit playoff season. Bell and Rogers will soon ask sports …
Our Long Nightmare Is Over. Chris Berman Will No Longer Be Calling Home Run Derbies
Many years ago I said my piece about Chris Berman ruining the damn Home Run Derby every year, so needless to say I’m a pretty happy fella having just seen this news. ESPN announced on Thursday that on-air personality Chris Berman will assume a new position for the company after the NFL season. He will …
