My wife gets mad when I pick my nose and says it is filthy to do so ... ( My argument is that the finger and nose fit like the penis and the vagina and if God had meant for us not to pick our nose, he would either have made much smaller nostrils or much larger fingers. I mist admit this argument falls on deaf ears.)..... but my wife always laughed at the cartoon Mucinex character on TV until I informed her that it was your basic boogie doing the talking.
For some reason, ad agencies think people who watch football games are rough and tough like the players and we love to own trucks. Odd , I never ever see a freaking La-Z-Boy recliner advertised. Yep, beer and truck advertising...a really good mix unless you're in the tiny car right in front of the truck after the game.
If I see the "Rock em Sock em" Robots commercial one more time for ,I think, Toyota trucks, I swear never to buy a Toyota truck as long as I live. Fox seems to be running it at least three times per break and , while cute the first time, it's just boring these days. The original Japanese script called for "Lock em, Sock em Lobots" but they cancerred that idea.
Chevy is running the hell out of their commercials with John Mellenkamp's "This is our country" music. Maybe they're trying to sell the fact you're more American if you buy one, but I have a feeling most of the truck buyers they're targeting don't know the lyrics as they're concentrating too much attention to the images, not the words.
The former Cougar wrote a good song. Here's some of the lyrics and , might I add, "Fuck the Truck"
I can stand beside
Things I think are right
And I can stand beside
The idea of stand and fight
And I do believe
There’s a dream for everyone
This is our country......
There's room enough here
For science to live
And there's room enough here
For religion to forgive
And try to understand
The other people of this world
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie HighwayBack home
This is our country
That poverty could be
Just another ugly thing
And bigotry could be
Seen only as obscene
And the ones that run this land
Will help the poor and common man
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie HighwayBack home
This is our country
The dream will never leave
And some day it will come true
And it’s up to me and you
To do the best that we can do
And let the voice of freedom
Sing out through this land
This is our country
