Sometimes...
My blog spaces itself out weird. I don't know why.

Oh Melanie...Your Face
As I exited my room this evening after having worked on a paper and talking to a friend, I noticed my sister was watching Working Girl.
All I have to ask is...Melanie...what the fuck happened to you?
Why did you do it?
You were soft and pretty. A real woman. Something we all could admire.
Then you caved to everyone else's opinion and got leaner, meaner, and just different.
I can't say I blame you. It's hard to ignore the media's beautiful stick thin representatives of the female population. And it gets to me too. I am way to critical of my own appearance and sometimes find myself wishing I looked like them.
But not too often.
So Melanie, I won't criticize. You've done me a favor today. Reminded me that I look fine the way I am.
Chicken Cheriyaki...Really?
So...I just saw that stupid Cherry Pepto Commercial again, and I have to say...
How stupid.
This is where pop culture and I have a problem. When the media takes something that should be soothing...or just plain boring...and turns it into a carnival of dumb.
This is where commercials go to die.
Why does Pepto-Bismol even need to be funny?
Without discussing the fact that Cherry Pepto tastes worse than the original Minty-Chalk flavor, I have to wonder what person or company came up with this commercial idea. Sure it's "kitschy", but it just isn't that entertaining. It's not even that family oriented.
What the hell is Chicken Cheriyaki anyway?
If anything I would think the commercial should be serious, since diarrhea tends to be less comical than regular gas.
I mean...everyone loves a good fart joke, but no one makes jokes about the runs.
It just bothers me that marketing techniques have become so silly. I realize they do capture the attention of the viewer, but doesn't that say something about the American public?
Is T.V. actually turning us into those people that laugh at bad jokes?
