I read an article a while back that passing gas helps lower your blood pressure.
Well, gents and boob-lovers alike, now you can lower your blood pressure, risk of heart disease and heart attacks by simply staring at the ample bosom of a female. In my opinion this is a much more pleasant way to be healthy than farting. Though each could be perceived as offensive.
Read, process, then go ogle some titties. In the meantime, I'm going to go buy more low-cut shirts in an effort to make America healthier. You're welcome America, Montastic has your back....with her rack.
This cracks me up. If you haven't seen Burger King's Whopper Virgins campaign, it's partially good, partially horrifying.
Trust me, I've discussed it with Chase. And we are both insanely smart.
Essentially the campaign features people from all over the world who have never had a Whopper. They are asked to try both that and the Big Mac, and compare them by taste. Now, I think this is a clever idea from the standpoint of unbiased taste tests. Chase feels as though it's exploiting those around the world who haven't had to put American processed shit in their bodies. I agree.
I would like this better if it were Americans who had never had a Whopper. Not impoverished Sven from BFE.
Anyway...check out their website to get an idea of the actual campaign.
If you have noticed the handy little widget down the right-hand side of the page, you will see it generates the Parola del Giorno (word of the day) for me.
Today's word is:
ricordare - verb (ree-core-dar-ay) it means to remember
So, naturally, in the spirit of past Parola Del Giorno entries, it's time for a list! A list of things I remember. Of 10 things I remember about 2008. How fitting.
i ran. a lot. my cousin visited. twice. i hiked a 14er. once. i was hurt. twice. my last two family pets were put down i fell in love. twice. i was single. i bought my first car. my hair got cut short. finally. i shrank. and grew.
Well, as you can see, I've been lacking ANYTHING to write about. So I thought I'd share some advertising with you that I appreciate.
First off, this billboard. Super cool.
Second, this Heinz Hot Ketchup campaign is rather brilliant.
Third, a couple headlines I think rock! Even though the ads lack something for me.
"Smooth like an alibi."
"Life is full of trials, with an occasional conviction."
I really always have enjoyed liquor advertising. Beer advertising leaves something to be desired. But boy, those liquor folk sure know how to sass up an ad with something sexy, or, at least, well-written.
Stumbled across Jeff Black tonight, and I'm hooked!
Don't be fooled now. He may, in fact, look EXACTLY like your IT guy at work. He's fantastic.
Support an unknown and buy his albums. Well, buy me his albums first. I'm trying to save a little skrilla for a potential move, so I'm not spending money on nuffin!
So...buy me his albums. Then buy yourself his albums. Thank you in advance for buying me his albums.
Montastic lyric (not from either of the above songs): Let your love lead you on and run.
5. You let yourself go in between visits. You become rather tribal. More leg hair, grunting, general irritability, and only a loincloth. Also, you eat poorly, get a little extra pudgy around the muffin-top-region. And then are stuck desperately trying to remove said "top" in the 48 hours before seeing your beloved again.
4. You make out with your computer. Your cell phone. Your mailbox. Anything that functions as a delivery system for messages/cards/words/smells/pictures of your far away amore. Because that is as close as you can get to actually making out with him/her.
3. Teeny bopper bullshit songs really tug at your heart strings as some 12 year old belts out his deep feelings about his emotional torment and his great experience in the love realm at his youthful of age of prepubescence. You weep.
2. You have weird dreams.
1. You completely relate to this stupid looking bear, posing in the window, appearing to exhibit human emotions thanks to the ridiculous headline.
I'll be back shortly. I have to go look pensively out a window.
It's a mash-up by DJ Earworm of the top 25 songs of 2008. And it's brilliantly dramatic.
I hope you enjoy it like I did. I also hope I find something of more depth to write soon.
