Not quite the prevalence of phone booths that they imagined.

There is a radio ad I have been hearing lately that gets my goat.

It is for Telus whom I believe are in the cell phone business. Anyway their angle is they want people driving in cars, when they are stopped at an intersection, to hold their thumbs up. The purpose is twofold. (1) It shows the people around you that you are not texting and driving and (2) it is supposed to be a hearty thumbs up of congratulations to those fellow motorists for not texting and driving.

They say it like they are serious but I can't believe they really expect anyone to do it.

But it just bugs me because it's so ghey. Like I agree, texting and driving is stupid as fok but I gotta think it is only a small percentage of people who do it. Like why not go up to everyone you see who is not injecting smack, and give them a way-to-go hug? Why not give congratulatory handjobs to anyone who is not robbing a bank?

Okay I'm being silly.

But it gets my goat.

Been enjoying the Kenny Rogers GEICO commercial and Kenny G's Snickers spot. (Thought they were both Snickers ads but turns out they're just both set around a home poker game.)

Self-deprecating has-been sellouts FTW

Poor Kenny. What a botched job the plastic surgeon did on his face.

 

[Matty]

I get the gist, yeah.

 

[Mudcat]

Kenny is having a larf at his own expense.

Kudos and whatnot.

Poor Kenny. What a botched job the plastic surgeon did on his face.

He's 76. It looks a lot better than the botched job God would've done on his face by now.

Man my Mom and her friends were in love with that guy in the 80's

Bacon does not want to like Geico commercials and hesitates to admit that they are very often pretty good.

I am never a fan of the plastic surgery look but I imagine Kenny looks okay if you are watching him in a theatre in Branson Missouri from 20 rows back.

Sex sells, I believe I once heard said.

Gotta put the sexy back into the bus. Not enough sexy times on the bus these days.
