WTF? Commander in Chief Chia Pet?

Seriously? A presidential Chia Pet. Does this make anyone else uncomfortable?
It’s not the first time Chia Pet personified one of its “budding” creations – they’ve produced a “Chia Head” (another product I find very weird). This time, they’ve sculpted the “face” of the Chia Pet to mildly resemble our President, Barack Obama.
Isn’t this rather offensive? [...]

Hide my credit cards, please.

It’s about that time, kids. It happens every year – snowboarding season ends, a couple of months pass, and I start to get “the itch.” In this case, “the itch” is to purchase new gear. Mind you, 2009-2010 lines aren’t even available yet. Do I need new gear? Absolutely… not. But who can resist the [...]

Say “thank you,” or you’re getting a timeout.

Recently, Adam Lambert was on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine. I came across a video of Adam’s initial reaction to his cover and thought it was kind of funny, as the person filming (audibly) whispers to Adam, “Say thank you, Rolling Stone!” (Fast forward through 3/4 of the video.)
Doesn’t that negate the thank you? [...]

Maybe she’s European…

While walking into Shop Rite, I took notice of this large advertisement. I really couldn’t tell you what it was actually advertising because I was entranced by the bushy armpit on this 8-year-old girl. Immediately after, I realized it was just one of her extremely long pigtails swinging around. But really? No one responsible for [...]

Crazy hail storm!

Today’s weather was nuts. What started out as your typical thunderstorm morphed into a full-blown winter(esque) storm. Hail and snow. In June. Needless to say, it was freaky. Roads (and basements) flooded, the fire department helped people stranded in their cars, and plows – yeah, I said plows – pushed the icy muck off the [...]

Game 7

The deciding game is only a few hours away. I wonder what is going through the athletes’ minds. It’s such an awesome rivalry – one team has the opportunity to remain champions and celebrate that accomplishment on home ice. The other team could cause a major upset and compensate for last season’s shortcomings. Like I [...]

Déjà vu for the Penguins?

To be honest, I’m not really that invested in this championship grudge match – I’ve only started to follow hockey two or three years ago. I’m more of a football fan(atic) and based on my undying devotion to the New York Giants, I took a shining to the New York Rangers. Teams and loyalties aside, [...]

“I’m a PC” stumbles a bit.

In this commercial, an 11 year old boy and his mom go to a department store similar to that of a Best Buy and look around for a laptop. There are just two, tiny parts of the commercial that bother me.
1. Kid suggests they go with a PC. Mom agrees. Let’s face it. He just [...]
