Back months ago, when my folks were down for a visit, my mom was talking about an analogy that was being used in sex ed to explain consent. It compared having sex to offering someone a cup of tea. I thought it was a great analogy, and thought it did a good job of making …

The Long Mystery of the Ontario.Ca/Healthcareoptions commercial has been solved.
For a long time, this cute little commercial would come on TV telling people where they could go for various health care needs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-HXORRzxL4 It certainly caught my attention, and I thought, “who could possibly think of turning something as boring as health care options into a musical? but they’re smart.” But there was one …

This starts out as basically your run of the mill Crime Stoppers segment, but stick with it. There are theories that this is some kind of viral ad for Coke, but the Coke folk have denied it. And as far as I can tell, I believe them. I might feel differently if this guy had …

When I first saw those Lumosity commercials on TV, there was something about them that struck me as wrong, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Steve would laugh at me because I would see a Lumosity commercial and immediately start picking it apart. Just look at
Smartphones, Religion And Other Things That Suck
Seeing as I’m currently getting sucked down a bit of a YouTube hole over here, have a couple of Lewis Black videos. Even though they pay less money for it than we do, sometimes it’s nice to be reminded that Americans have to deal with the same sorts of shitty corporations if they want phone …
