Not Stupid Advertising

If I had the time/desire to memorize a commercial, it would be this one. Thank you, Jordan!

Stupid Advertising

Alternate Title: What The Duck???

Who is the target audience here? Did ANYONE think about that?


A pierced and punked duck of no particular cartoon origin, unless I am completely out of the loop on kids cartoons. (Which, come to think of it, I am.)

However, all I can glean from this packaging is pure market share desperation. And that it's not for weight control--so just back off, dieting people!

New Favorite After Five Pages

All the officer patients in the ward were forced to censor letters written by all the enlisted-men patients, who were kept in residence in wards of their own. It was a monotonous job, and Yossarian was disappointed to learn that the lives of enlisted men were only slightly more interesting that the lives of officers. After the first day he had no curiosity at all. To break the monotony he invented games. Death to all modifiers, he declared one day, and out of every letter that passed through his hands went every adverb and every adjective. The next day he made war on articles. He reached a much higher plane of creativity the following day when he blacked out everything in the letters but a, an and the. That erected more dynamic intralinear tensions, he felt, and in just about every case left a message far more universal.

Bangladesh politics...I am chagrined to say that I barely understand what he is blogging about.
