We now resume our regularly schedule blathering....

Just a few thoughts on commercials I've seen lately:

Paper towels---the one where the father and son stand around debating how many sheets while the spill spreads toward the new-looking carpet. Grab a dish towel, dickheads, and clean it up before Mama kicks your lazy asses.

The Beatles are being used to sell diapers. On the one hand, it's good that their music is reaching a new generation. But the message? I'd LUV to know what John, Paul, George and Ringo would think about that!

I wonder if the bloodhound in the granola commercials is the same one from the kitty litter ads. Love the scheming granola pooch especially---he makes me think of Bobby reincarnating with four legs....

The spooky Verizon ads are also fun---the "dead zones" in the old house and the laundry room. Crab grass, hee! The terrors of suburbia!

I don't remember WHICH car I'm supposed to be buying, but I have "Godzilla" as an earworm....

Why are they pairing Beatles with diapers? That's blasphemy if you ask me. John must be turning in his grave right now.

Because the brand of diapers is called Luvs, and the song is, "All you need is---"

And yes, I'm sure John, wherever he is, is none too happy!

the really sick one was when they were using "Imagine" to sell beer. Um, John used to have this drinking problem, and on top of that they were showing a lot of pictures of American flags and Mt. Rushmore while he's singing "imagine no more countries"?! huh?! hello?
