It's been awhile has it not? After such a long absence I feel compelled to explain... (remix) I have decided to ignore this feeling though because my first draft was quite poor. If you must know I spent the last 30 minutes on Butler's website trying to be funny while ripping their school. After some reflection and re-reading I realized my humor was dreadful and my bitterness transparent - and I'd never wish to subject you to that. So without further delay, and more on the subject of my forte, the sweet...
Right Guard's rebuttal. Have you seen Right Guard's Allen Iverson to Axe? Ad 1, Ad 2. In response to her question at the end... absolutely not. Bravo to RGX media marketing department - they make Axe look like a product for angst thirteen year olds waiting on a handjob. This new RGX campaign however actually makes me flustered and not at all in a bad way. If you can watch Ad 2 without making a move to fix your hair or check your shirt then you are way tougher than I am. It bothers me that a commercial can make me disappointed in myself. Why is that? Allow me to reiterate - I am not ready to step up. Sorry.
A quick segway into lame...
On the subject of commercials. I've been meaning to run this earlier but check out the commercial Rolling Rock dropped from the Superbowl. The commercial is certainly not lame, its actually quite hilarious, a top 5er in my notes. What's lame is that Rolling Rock lacked the testicular fortitude to run it. I was made aware of this when on a random night weeks before the superbowl Rolling Rock aired an overly serious commercial. The scene began with an executive looking guy sitting behind a desk and a slow zoom. The white collar fellow then explains calmly how RR intended to run an apparently offensive commercial but pulled it off the air and to please not take offense. To this day I cannot tell if I detected any sarcasm or levity. I of course hadn't seen the thong commercial at the time and wrote it off until after the Superbowl when ranking ads.
Back to sweet...
I may be on great segway fire. (You'll see why in a moment) So after finally seeing the Rock commercial and honestly wondering what made it so offensive to be pulled I was instantly reminded of one of my favorite segments from South Park. It's the little league baseball episode where Stan and the boys are trying to lose on purpose to salvage their summer. A hilarious subplot is how Stan's dad shows up drunk and feels the need to fight at every game with an opposing parent. Pardon the inevitably obnoxious website - but you get the picture.
If I remember correctly, Jim and I have actually reenacted that scene when getting thrown out of bars (or campsites). But that was back when we got thrown out of places and now that's now ballin to me.
The Player Haters Ball. By David Chappelle of course. Quick lame... why the myunk can't I find this clip on youtube??? The same thing happened with anything southpark... I'm appalled to present to you the clip from broadcast.com (wow). Sweet... I can't get over the voice of Silky Johnston. I've begun using this voice when I complain. And is anything better than the 2:09 mark. I stand corrected - the 3:35 mark. There are some really incredible lines in that segment.

Happy Birthday my good sir (belated). I hope you enjoyed it in style, which i have no doubt in. I must say, I was in severe withdrawal without a posting in two weeks. Seriously, I had to turn to cocaine every morning these two weeks just to get me through these rough times. Well, enough about me...anyway, now that it's nice out, we're playing baseball down here. If you're interested, let me know.
I was going through withdrawal too. The days before spring break were really hectic and the days after as well. I've been wanting to post about alot of different things but I'm afraid I havent had any time to breathe. There will be a nice and long one wednesday night after my exam
