Caribou Barbie is Hot and Funny… Who Knew?

Sarah Palin and her slightly less attractive and far more bitter doppleganger, Tina Fey gave “Saturday Night Live” its best ratings in 14 years…

The VPilf’s appearance has been anticipated since Fey began imitating her a month ago, and the cameo led “Saturday Night Live” to its highest mark in overnight Nielsen Media Research ratings since March 1994, when assaulted skater Nancy Kerrigan was guest host.

I wish I was Matt Damon… Or at least Jimmy Kimmel.

It looks like Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman are back together… The funniest couple alive has been spotted out and about on both coasts and sources close to the couple are saying they’re on the road back to being together again…

God Damnit! I missed my chance…

Unfortunately… It looks like the only Sarah Silverman action I’m going to be getting any time soon is the televised kind… Luckily the second season of “The Sarah Silverman Program” premieres tonight on Comedy CentralSo I won’t have to wait too long.

New Marketing Scheme… Or Oldest Profession Known to Man?

The naughty folks at AshleyMadison.com have struck again.

In the wake of Oprah’s new series “Why Men Cheat,” the dating site specifically designed to help married people cheat on their spouses has announced a brand new promotion…

Members who purchase an Ashley Madison “Affair Guarantee” Package and don’t experience an affair to remember within three months will receive a complete refund…

So, I know this is supposed to be a a new promotion and a really novel marketing scheme but I think I recognize this business model…

Doritos Puts up $1 Million for Consumer-Created Super Bowl XLIII Ad!

So… The Doritos brand announced it is once again giving complete control of its Super Bowl ad air time to its fans.

But this time, the snack chip brand is raising the stakes… In addition to airing one self-made Doritos ad to a captive audience of millions, Doritos will give that talented winner $1 million if their 30 second spot takes down “the big guys” and becomes the first-ever consumer-created commercial to claim the No. 1 ranking in USA TODAY’s annual Ad Meter.

This gives me a great idea… Doritos sex tape!!!

I May Need A Bailout To Afford The Upcoming Bailout…

Bailout legislation which would authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase mortgage-related assets to the tune of $700 billion dollars is set to sail through Congress this week.

What does that mean to you and I… Not much, just a little over $2,000 per person!

Ummmm… Ouch! Does anyone else find it ironic that I’m going to lose my house bailing out the mortgage industry?!?

American Idol, My 15 Minutes of Fame are Over… The Jason Castro Story.

Here’s the thing… If you beg for cash and prizes from your fans… You might be a douchebag!

You’d think that would go without saying right? Well you’d be wrong…

Because apparently no one told American Idol 7 finalist Jason Castro and his family this because they have been asking for money from his fans, and as absurd as this may sound…

It’s actually working!!!

Let’s be honest… The world as we know it has been steadily sliding towards oblivion for quite a while now…

We’re just sitting around… Biding our time until the zombie apocalypse unleashes an unspeakable wave of terror that will wash across this nation like a bloody tsunami. Well this is your wake up call America…

The seat back in front of me on the train the other day was covered in gang graffiti. Cryptic symbols and letters, some of which were backwards, some upside down…

It looked more like some ancient variation of cuneiform which was forgotten long ago, than English. But then again, it’s supposed to look like that to me… I’m old. It wasn’t written for me. I’m not the target demographic.
Which got me to thinking. Graffiti isn’t vandalism… It’s marketing.
Essentially the gangs are attempting to achieve brand recognition in …
