Dewmocracy Tug-of-War
by: Sarah

Which Dew do you do?  Personally I’m all for the original flavor, in diet of course, but I suppose these new flavors might be worth a shot.  The vote is down to Supernova, Voltage and Revolution so get your vote on, you have until July 31st!

Cloud Design
by: DS

Now I can really make the twisted images I see in clouds. Imagine explaining this idea to someone before you started building it.

Doogey Houser does Old Spice
by: Sarah

This commercial is way better than the , and not because it’s funny, because it’s Doogie Houser!  The bit about the “former make believe doctor” is absolutely hilarious, adding the “That’s why I can recommend it, I used to be a doctor for pretend.”  Anyway, love it, watch it.

This is a great commercial. This is the shorter version, you can see the longer version below from the YouTube Nike Soccer site.

The commercial is directed by Guy Ritchie and the music is Eagles of Death Metal’s “Don’t Speak”.

Here is the longer version:

The Naked Cowboy goes to court what will he wear?
by: Sarah

Naked Cowboy goes to court

Naked Cowboy’s legal battle
Well, it’s been about three months since I heard about the Naked Cowboy’s journey to sue the Mars Inc. for copyright infringement and I just found out that the judge is allowing the case to go to court. Good for the Naked Cowboy, but $4 million dollars is an awful lot of money, especially if all you buy is whitey tighties.

Big question I’m wondering, what is he going to wear in the courtroom?

The Naked Cowboy takes on more than the weather in the lawsuit vs. Mars Inc.

JC Penney Speed Dressing commercial
by: Sarah

Well, I thought this spot was pretty hilarious, but what is it teaching our youth about sex?  “Today’s the day to get away with it” is a tad out of line on the abstinence front, but makes the commercial way more hilarious.  Yeah, that’s right, I’m torn between “this commercial is hilarious” and “it’s way out of line.”  But let’s just say that it isn’t what I expected from a J.C. Penney commercial.

Shaq on tape dissing Kobe in an award winning freestyle
by: Sarah

Just kidding, his freestyle rapping sucks, but his diss to Kobe is pretty funny until he repeats “Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes” 5+ times in a row. This video is courtesy of TMZ’s paparazzi folk who happened to spot the big cactus on stage after taking the mic at a New York City club.

Funny tidbit from the TMZ post:

After spending several verses shredding Kobe apart for losing in the NBA playoffs, Shaq drops the line, “I’m a horse, Kobe ratted me out, that’s why I’m getting divorced.”

The line most likely references a comment Kobe made during his infamous 2003 rape case, when he told Colorado police that he “Should have done what Shaq does … Shaq would pay his women not to say anything.” The two became famously bitter rivals after the incident.

Geico’s worst caveman commercial
by: Sarah

This is possibly the worst Geico Caveman commercial, it has absolutely no direction or purpose.  I really would like to see this commercial gone.  The only reason why I posted it was to see if anyone agreed or disagreed with me, so whaddya think?

AT&T’s you’re a dillweed commercial
by: Sarah

AT&T always has pretty decent commercials, I especially like the father searching for his absent daughter at make-out point.  I love the irony of him “singing” Motorhead’s Ace of Spades while he misses the calls from his buddy trying to offer him Motorhead tickets, what a dillweed.  Not much else to say about this one really, so enjoy the spot I’m sure there will be others.

Comedian George Carlin Dies
by: DS

This is a sad day for me. I grew up on George Carlin on HBO specials from the time I entered the USA.

He was American counter-culture. I agreed and disagreed with him but most of all he made me laugh.

George C is a generation away from me (maybe 2) but what he said and how he said it was fitting for every generation.

I’m sorry he went so soon but glad I got to know his point-of-view on the stage, his interpretation of life, politics but mostly religion.

Goodbye George Carlin, We will miss you and your unique sense of humor.
