Ads: Burger King commercials

Posted in Ads on February 24, 2006 by rantsofatwinkie

Okay okay, I know I already said something about Burger King commercials, but unfortunately they seem to play them at every commercial break so I am innundated with that crap.

The newest “Cheesy” ones with Dr. Anus.. errr… Angus are completely annoying. I can’t even hit the change channel button fast enough when one starts to play.

Maybe I am too old (I am in my early thirties) and am not the target audience for those commercials.

Sports: Bode bode bode – why do we care so much?

Man, I can’t believe all this press about Bode Miller and him not getting a single medal out of 4 events so far. I mean, should we really care? It’s the Olympics, which frankly, I’ve watched around a total of 15 minutes of this event – and 10 of that were of Curling, of all events. Whether he wins a gold medal or not isn’t going to improve our lives any. Let the guy ski and if he doesn’t get a medal, congratulate him for making the Olympics. I can’t believe that the Olympics has come down to “win the gold or you are a failure.”

Personally, I think the Olympics are pretty silly in comparison to the war that we are currently involved in and soldiers are dying in. If I was in the military serving in the Middle East I’d be pretty offended that the primary front page news is the Olympics and that we have our panties in a bunch because Bode Miller is not living up to our expectations or that Sasha Cohen fell twice and only won the silver.

We need to stop focusing on the negatives/failures. I’d say making the Olympics in the first place should out-weigh any performance problems during the event.

Celeb: Jessica Simpson in the new Pizza Hut Poppers ad

Okay, one of my favorite targets are commercials. I normally do not watch many since we have Tivo, but unfortunately I am stuck watching them when there is a show I want to watch in real-time.

For example, who does the Burger King commercials? Talk about CREEPY.

Anyways, getting back to the title of this post. What in the world is up with Jessica Simpson? In the new Pizza Hut Popper ad, it sure looks like her lips are about to pop, and not the crust of the pizza. Totally grody…

Me: It’s about time

Well, after being involved in the internet since 1995, I am finally starting a blog.

So, here is my little rant space. I’m Asian American, hence the “Twinkie” in the title of this blog. And, I like to rant. Who doesn’t? :-D
