Let’s Play “The Guess Who” Game

by Rachel Timmerman at 10:03 am 1 Comment

Question: Guess who’s the new spokesperson for Aruba Tourism.

A. Cindy Crawford: After disappointing sales of her furniture line at Raymore and Flannigan, Cindy decided it would be best if she went back to her roots of swimsuit-clad endorsing. She’s a viable option.
B. Regis and Kelly: So, I knew this girl in college who would give it up to any frat boy who’d take her out to a steak dinner. After burning through the Delta Sigma house in less than two months she found it next to impossible to land a date on campus. When I think about this woman I can’t help but be reminded of the way that Regis and Kelly approach brand endorsement deals and wonder if they’re sealing their “no more steak dinner” fate. Yeah. It’s got to be Regis and Kelly, right?
C. Louis Black: What? No. It can’t be Louis Black! That’s just silly.

Answer:

Louis totally sold out! This makes me less likely to watch any future HBO specials he may be in, but oddly somewhat more likely to visit Aruba.

Tell Me About Nothing.

I think it’s cute how the atheists put their hard-earned money together to run an ad campaign to tell people that they think there’s no such thing as God. I guess they did it because they got bored just sitting around judging Christians and talking about how death is totally going to suck.

Multiple Choice

The Centro Santa…

A) Is an accurate depiction of a modern evolution of Santa.
B) Is an outright betrayal of the tradition of Santa Claus and therefore anti-Christmas and therefore totally un-American.
C) Is somehow somewhat attractive and therefore makes me question parts of my sexuality that I may not wish to address…ever.

Good form, Net 10! We dig the micro site too. Now we should talk about letting Droga 5 get their hands on your corporate site too. My heavens, that thing is an eye sore.

You’ve Done Good for Yourself, Microsoft.

Brands are like people. Sometimes they’re lame, sometimes they’re awesome and sometimes they completely surprise you. Case in point, Microsoft’s new Windows Home Server campaign. Not only is it nicely done and funny, I started to rationalize a server purchase for our house. Admittedly, it was a fleeting thought. But still, pretty impressive given that my mind is typically occupied with work, celebrity gossip and my next glass of wine.

I must say, I’m delighted and honestly a bit shocked by Microsoft’s fun new voice. It’s kind of like the feeling you get when you run into some dork you knew in high school only to realize that they’re now totally charming, rich and have a hot girlfriend.

I just have to call bullshit on this one. Of course Spirit Airline execs know what M.I.L.F means. Everybody does.

I should also add that this might be the most awesome airline promotion ever.
