Pooing

For reasons that we don't need to go into, I decided to enter the word "pooing" at dictionary.com. No big deal. But look at this screen capture. Check out the "Related Searches" on the right side. Pretty interesting "searches." (Click on image to see large version.)

facebook ads

Here are some of the crazy ads I've seen on facebook. (Click on them to see the large versions.) This first collage features photos where something(s), appears to be so totally blown out of proportion, that I believe someone's Photoshopping in a most ridiculous way...



Here's some more for the "sex sells" category. The first three on the left, and the top one on the right all suggest the same thing, that dating Christians, thirtysomethings, and/or local girls is all about one thing: tits. The fifth photo is not about breasts, but is an outrageous photo anyway...



Next, who is Googling me? Three hot party girls with super fake breasts, most likely...



Some more crazy ones: what does that photo have to do with Dad's bailout? I'm not even sure what that's a picture of. Then there's the face to face nyc one. I'm don't think that without the tiny, yet insane photo, you'd know this was for a seemingly gay spa? The funerals one is just nuts. Then there's the smarmy, smirking douchebag who has Photoshopped that fake blonde girl in next to him -- he can show me how to make the ladies love me with his video... Great stuff, facebook!



We Need Men. It doesn't look like it. What are they doing in this photo. What does the photo have to do with their dating site? Next they want me to become a fan of the apparently sassy and sexual and bisexual Kesha. "I love south." What? Sause and
Bonnie Raitt are spelled wrong.



These last two go together. They appear to tell you how to be "more than friends" with "that" girl. The first one's picture features some 50-something schlub with a stripper all over him. The last one has the creepiest photograph I've ever seen on facebook. Why is this sixty year old guy with that mustache and no shirt caressing that young girl who could be over 18? Why is she smiling? It looks like an outtake from a 70s porn movie.

Men of a Certain Age

Regarding the upcoming TV show, "Men of a Certain Age," Andre Braugher was 47 in July; Ray Romano will be 52 in December; Scott Bakula is 55 tomorrow.

Forgetting

The other day I couldn't remember Darrell Hammond's name. One day, before baseball season started I couldn't remember Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum's name. I knew all about them both, I could picture them, I could tell you all about them -- couldn't think of their names. As my father, and maternal grandfather both suffer/suffered from Alzheimer's/dementia -- this disturbs me somewhat. Whenever it happens. Right now I can't think of the word that is what scuba is and what milf is. It's not anagram. I hate this.

Who Is the Target Audience?

I got an email from RL with some ad images... Look at this prep school one. Look at these two kids. Who wants their kids to be these kids? They look like schemers and sociopaths. They're like 10.

In a couple of years she'll be running a prostitution ring made up of her prep school gal-pals, to pay for her drug habit. When one of them turns up dead and the cops show up, her parents will pay somebody off.

The boy appears to be the rich, spoiled bully; a punk. Of all the little creeps in his "Polo Posse," he's richest, and he's the meanest. You see this kid at the new Yankee Stadium right behind home plate, in the $10,000 seats, texting his friends. When the text doesn't go through fast enough he throws his iPhone down onto the pavement and shouts "bitch!" at it. A-Rod's at the plate; he turns around, startled. The kid glares at him. He gets a new iPhone the next day. And everyone apologizes to him. He loves seeing someone get hurt, and the more serious the injury the funnier it is. And he likes to have a hand in it. He has no conscience. Before he's 18 he'll have killed: victims of his drunk driving, the high-class call girl who said the wrong thing and got beaten to death, etc. Where does he go from here?

Summers in the Hamptons;
Coke in my nose.

Pony on my jacket;
Fuck you,
Whatever.

Note: of course these two child models are not who I'm talking about -- it's the "characters" they are "playing." And that is the work of the photographer, the client, the wardrobe people, etc who engineered this ad.

Army Strong

Looks like the army has trademarked my name. Sounds about right.

Rush Turdball

I typed "Rush Turdball" into Google image search. Of the 18 pictures on the first page, 7 were of Rush Limbaugh. He was smoking a cigar in 4 of the 7 pictures.
