Dear V8,

You’ve got to cut this “Could have had a V8” businesses out. You’re making people think too hard…and not in a good way.

Here’s a word to the wise. If you’re pushing tomato juice the last thing you want to do is encourage people to think about actually drinking tomato juice. You must brainwash these people by going totally subliminal or pack it up and go home.

Another tip: try to avoid making ads that look like the inside of a garbage can. I don’t care how “interesting” the photography looks. It’s not working.

So, I was thinking about it on the way to work today (after being subjected to one of your rather unfortunate bus shelters) and here are 5 things on my “to do” list that I’d rather do than have a V8.

1. My taxes
2. Rinse with “classic” flavored Listerine for a full minute
3. Remove that pesky ketchup stain off my favorite table cloth
4. Pay my Comcast bill
5. Fold socks

Yo, Homie. Don’t Play That Incremental Scatter CPM Game With Me

My life would be a lot more interesting if more media reps started rapping like the guys at Ripe. Delightful.

If I were to tell you that I get a little turned on at the part of the song where he talks about his “reach”…would that be weird?

I’ve Never Felt more Segmented, Predictable…or White

This blog terrifies me. If you’re white you should be terrified too. These people have got us figured out.

For the love of God, just look at the masthead.

If someone were to ask me to list my four favorite things I would probably say the following:

1. Sushi
2. Bulldogs
3. The beach
4. Organic vegetables

Ok, so maybe that last one is a stretch. I probably would have listed vodka, but three out of four ain’t bad! Plus, I honestly do enjoy an occasional bell pepper.

The rest of it blew my mind too. Other stuff white people like,

1. Difficult breakups/ Divorce (been there, done that!)
2. Hyphenated names (considering it!)
3. Mos Def (he’s great!)
4. Japan (um, hi. Japan is AWESOME)
5. Expensive Sandwiches (Only like every day at lunch!)

Is someone spying on me???

Thanks for sending, Hilmer…thanks A LOT.

My Name is Hillary and I’m a PC

This article likens Barack Obama’s campaign site to a Mac and Hillary’s to a PC. A genius association for the Obama camp as there is nothing more polarizing to enthusiastic mac-lovers as a PC users, but PC users generally are open to, if not desire, eventually becoming Mac users. At least this is my experience. Thoughts?

Bobbles for the Bleeding Hearts

Recovering from another sucky Valentines Day? Nothing says, “Pity me” more tastefully than Alyssa Dee Krauss bandaid jewelry. Choose from two designs, a lapel pin (to be worn over your mending heart) or a “Wedding Band(aid)” designed for those of you who may be contemplating divorce. Yikes…but totally cool ring!

If you do opt for the Wedding Band(aid) design, you’re out of luck. They’re totally sold out. Sorry. But isn’t it nice to know that you’re not alone in your misery?

USA vs. Japan

by Rachel Timmerman at 9:46 am 1 Comment

You can really learn so much about a culture by their McDonald’s-sponsored “viral” content. Here in the states we get fratified beat-boxing loonies and then over in Japan they get this magic.

I love it. Even thought I can feel by brain dying every time I watch it. Japan wins!

Lose/ Lose Audio Test

Can you hear this? If so, I am sorry. This is the shrillest, teeth-shattering sound ever. If you can’t hear it you’re old. I’m sorry about that too.

That was a mobile phone ring tone that only kids are supposed to be able to hear. The frequency lives in the higher end of the human audio range, a chunk of the range that our ears stop being able to hear as we age. I don’t consider that a bad thing.
