Couple of Things

Hey there folks. I have a couple of things to share with you today.

First up, if you're not playing Realm of the Mad God right now you should be. It's fast paced, easy to play, and you'll be addicted quite easily. You can even play it in your browser. Go try it out, now!

Second, if you haven't seen the viral ad for Dollar Shave Club already, go check it out. I hate to admit it, but this kind of ad campaign works for me. I might just end up signing up, if the shipping and handling isn't too bad, but only after I work my way through my current pile of Costco blades.

Cheers

What Exactly Are They Selling Again?

As I slog through the summer "offerings" from the networks (more on that later), I often catch the errant commercial before I can grab the remote to hit the skip button. Commercials have long pushed the envelope of taste and decorum in an attempt to get our attention, but recently I've seen a few that caught my eye for the wrong reasons.

Best Buy: Laptop & a Geek


Mom just bought her son a sex doll apparently.  Good luck getting him to video chat now.


Tiger Woods Nike Commercial


This takes some context explanation for those not familiar with professional athletics (Jefe), specifically golf. The voiceover is a recording of Tiger's late father Earl Woods, asked a decade ago what he would ask young Tiger about his career in Golf; now used here to ask him about his famous sexual scandals.

Oh, and to play emotionally on the notion that the audience should pity and forgive the first billionaire professional athlete.

KIA Hamster Soul


Anthropomorphic Rapping Hamsters mocking other hamsters who drive toasters and laundry machines? And we all know a hamster wouldn't be able to dunk with that low center of gravity.

Lastly, this one's creepy in a different way:


Sorry about that, here's a "softer" kind of creepy:

See anything delightfully creepy lately?
