I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend.-Freddie Mercury

I beg to differ



Okay my inner soccer mom may recognize the benefits of owning a minivan. My inner rock star wants a Harley or a very expensive sports car.

Like a Ninja of love repelling down from above-Love Handle, You Snuck Your Way in to My Heart

There are two kinds of earworm (song that gets stuck in your head).

The kind that is really annoying and makes you want to jab a chop stick in your ear to kill it, generally from children's programing or commercials.

Side note: I remember one time my brother wandered in to the kitchen singing a tampon jingle and my Mom and I had to try to explain to him that he should stop without giving him way more info than he needed at seven.

The other kind of earworm is just as invasive but less painful. It's the kind that is just so darn catchy you have to go buy the song and listen to it 500 times in a row until it looses it's grip on your brain (Friday's post in my case).

Here's a list of some of the earworms that have joined my catalogue for better or worse.

Pretty Fly For a White Guy-Offspring
Livin' La Vida Loca-Ricky Martin
Bring Me to Live-Evanescence
How Bizarre-OMC

What gets stuck in your head?

So That's Who They're Marketing To

Hmm technical difficulties. I had a post all written. I checked it yesterday. It is now blank (well except for this which I'm writ ting now). I'll try to get it fixed. In the mean time I hope you all have a nice Holiday tomorrow.

To Many Choices

I keep seeing commercials for new types of birth control. The ring, the patch, the what's it 5 year thingy. If one of em works for you that's cool with me. What I'm confused by is the part where a major selling point is you don't have to remember to take it every day. Ummmmm do ya brush your teeth every day? Shower? Then I think you can remember to take a pill every day. If you don't brush you teeth and shower every day I'm pretty sure that'll work too.

Perhaps This is Why I am Not a Fan of the Sandwich

Subway had an add campaign for a while where they were trying to call their sandwiches "Yum rockets". Quiznoz is now trying to use the phrase "Tasty Torpedoes". Perhaps I just have a dirty mind but these phrases seem to me to be euphemisms for something I wouldn't want to be seen purchasing. Things that would be shipped to your house in a "discreet" brown wrapper if you ordered them on line if ya know what I mean.

I Didn't Know There Was a Demand For Them

Very strange add over on the side of my blog. I copied and pasted it so this is word for word. I got mine the old fashioned way none of this buying her at Target crap.

Speaking of Yucky

This commercial is disgusting. I'm not easily offended (I'm easily pissed off there's a difference) but this seriously bothers me. I don't get how this #1 go approved to be made and #2 was approved to be aired. It makes me want to never buy their product.

Ya Might Wanna Check Your Math

There's a radio commercial I hear all the time for a product called I.Q. Part of the commercial states "Read up to 100 times faster. Just immagine reading 10 books in the time it takes others to read 1". I'm pretty sure 100 X 1 does not equal 10. Check me out I don't even need their product.

Tell Me I'm Not Alone Here

Am I the only person who thinks the Old Spice jingle sounds like "They're magically delicious"?

It Sure Doesn't Sound Like Food

Subway has these new commercials where they refer to their sandwiches as "Yum Rockets". Sounds dirty to me.

They got a Pepper bar

Apparently I was one of the 4 people in the world who loved the Spongmonkey commercials for Quiznos. Of coarse they didn't make me want the product so maybe that's why they pulled them. I also really loved the one about the coupons "Subs are a dollar off when you bring in a coupon for things to eat, or oil changes, or pony rides, or for hair plugs". Hair plugs good stuff. I totaly want a Spongmonkey shirt.
