Singing rabbits and crying babies.

I was watching Rat Race on Comedy Central, good movie, not the point. During a break they showed a commercial about a guy trading a singing rabbit for some skittles. I’m wondering to myself “WHY?!” I’m a child of the 80s, a decade when not much was normal either way, but I do remember when I was growing up that we did, at one point, have normal commercials. Now we have commercials that don’t even have to do the product itself. Singing Rabbits, Crying plastic babies(PS3 commercial), and a Fu-Manchu type character saying something I cannot remember at this time. WHY?!

Show a funny situation with your product. Kick someone in the nuts then pour Doritos on him, not that difficult. Forgo the prosthetics, and the animatronics. Just give us something to laugh at. something that looks really good, or even a hot chick using the product. We don’t need these inane commercials that barely make sense. Hell, I’ve even avoided eating at Quiznos for years because of those damn Spongemonkies commercials they used to run.

We don’t need crying babies and singing rabbits.

This Week On: Lost – Expose

If there is only one way to describe this latest episode of Lost it’s – FABULOUS! Seriously this episode tied up a ton of the story – there’s still more than a ton left – and best of all was the completely unexpected ending! One of the worst ways to die was in this episode and damn was it worthwhile!

*Spoiler – I think the one of the worst ways to die is being buried alive.

This Week on: Smallville – Promise

Wow just wow. After six years of waiting for the moment, Lana finally knows Clark’s “secret.” Of course she’s then forced to go through with her marriage with Lex Lurthor as Lex’s father Lionel threatens Lana that he will kill Clark if she does not marry Lex. Aparrently Lana is not carrying Lex’s child inside her, but rather a monster that Lurthorcorp somehow created.

Poor Lana. She always gets hurt in each episode, but damn did this episode truly suck for her. 🙁

The Week on: Lost – Par Avion

Lost ain’t lost no more! Finally characters have direction! They have motives! They know what the hell they’re doing! But was it a great episode? No, not really. I cannot put my finger on what was exactly missing, but even though the plot advanced overall it didn’t feel like an oh my god moment right before each commercial break as the previous seasons had. The series is heading into the right direction so far we’re 3 relatively good episodes out of 12 total. The story keeps building up to what should be a big confrontation between the survivors and the Others. I just hope it happens soon and is worth my time…

This Week on: Battlestar Galactica – The Son Also Rises

I just want to say: Who is a fan of SciFi’s Batttlestar Promo theme? You know, that rock song they play before they show the deleted scene, or while they ask you to text with the answer to “Who think’s Baltar should die?” or such nonsense. I don’t think there’s a soul out there who likes it. If you think there is, comment “A” down below. If you agree with me, comment “B”. First 5 members to comment gets a “Dan Thanks” in my next post!

Oh, are we discussing Battlestar Galactica for this week? I guess we could do that too.

Baltar meets his attorney, not that anyone really expects him to be found innocent. Admiral Adama is chosen as one of the five judges for the trial. (Five? As in… Final Five? OOoooh… but unlikely.) Apollo protects his client… perhaps too well, as… oh, well, you’ll see. And of course, everyone is still reeling from the loss of Starbuck. You didn’t forget, did you?

I apologize for the nonsensical post that this is.
