awesome TV commercials

Have you ever seen TV commercials that are cooler than the TV show you’re watching?  (If so, you probably need to watch something else.)  But there are a few commercials that come close.  My current favorite one is for the Nissan Juke, called Donut Action.  This is the longer version of the commercial (just over a minute), where the intern forgot the donuts for the business status meeting.

The whole commercial is cool, but I especially like the end, where he shows up with the donuts and says “Bang!”  Then the announcer says, “That’s right.”  Classic.

Also worth mentioning is the Geico commercial that asks, “Does a former drill sergeant make a terrible therapist?”

(I didn’t think he was terrible…)

Where did the new posts go?

I’m finally getting back to new posts now.  Has it really been two weeks?  Inconceivable!   Here’s what happened — my computer got really sick. It either had a virus or there was a major corruption of the .NET Framework or some such issue.  Either way, most of my programs didn’t work, and it was hindering my work and my slacking, so getting it fixed became an important issue.  So new posts were neglected during that time.  Also, my monitor quit working, which further added to the problems.   Besides all this, there were all kinds of other stuff going wrong in my life.  I don’t remember everything that happened, but I’m pretty sure the Earth blew up.  (Just checking if you were still paying attention… it hasn’t gotten that bad yet!)

I won’t list all the things that went wrong.  It’s all spilled milk under the bridge now.  And I think it’s time to burn that bridge.

So blame the real world for the lack of new content lately.  Hopefully I can now return to my own little world, where everything I do turns out awesome and my coolness is beyond comprehension.

unusual dance competition

I don’t regularly watch the show America’s Got Talent, so I don’t know all the context of this video, but I do know that there’s two people dancing to the same song here — an older grey-haired white man versus a black man who’s probably in his 20s or 30s.  And the song is by James Brown.  Who do you suppose would do better at getting their groove on?  (No need to be prejudiced here…  I’m just sayin’…)

What do you think?

football mascot vs cheerleader

Here’s something you don’t see every day.  The mascot for the Tennessee Titans football team ate a cheerleader.  (The video is just 14 seconds, in case you’re wondering if you have time to watch it.)

Notice her hair just before she is consumed — did he belch in her face?

And what exactly is that mascot?  And why is it so rotund?
