So far, no more corporate stooges

It looks like they might have left for the day. But I sense they will be back tomorrow to make more "adjustments" or "training" or "firing people who don't work hard". This is all well and good and everything, and I sense my job is yet secure, but what I really want to know is, why do musicians license their music for commercials? The culprit, no, the traitor is Lenny Kravitz. I haven't always been a fan, but I introduced Kravitz, or "The Krav" to my older brother many years ago. But lately, I've been seeing him constantly in the one organization that drives me bonkers more than any other with exceptions of course, The Gap. And then there is that idiotic Sarah Jessica Parker on there too. What in the crapface is she doing on a Gap commercial? It's not her looks, that's for sure.

Anyway, the moral of the story is that commercials suck. Here's another example: MacDopnalds (not a typo) features some stupid twenty-somethings talking about their "New Chicken Selects". There is no piece of chicken in the world that would make me want to stand next to a copy machine and say "Put down my Chicken Selects". What is a "Chicken Select" in the first place? Does that mean that the chicken got to select what it wanted to eat before they skinned it alive and boiled it preservatives? MacDopnalds, I'm not lovin' it.

I am lovin' that their commercials and their market share is going down though. But no matter how many stupid twenty-something yahoos they stick on the front lines of their war against all good food, they are still a drying up restuarant and I think that all major sports can survive without their sponsorship. Especially the Olympics. And they aren't proud sponsors either. Well, they might be, because that means that more people are going to buy Happy Meals so they can gaze longingly at their new Paul Hammface poseable doll or their new whoever those girls were that won the beach volleyball with the barely-there outfits. I just want to say, nobody cares about the olympics as much as NBC wants people to think everyone cares about the Olympics. Not everyone will agree with me on this one. But the people that do, are right.

They are called Chicken Selects because they were selected to be people food.

I also have to agree that "The Krav" is a traitor. To appear on a Gap commercial means something about your career that these people must not know. It's a Kravisty. Or a Krusty Burger.

Who is Rob?

I don't know. Rob Schneider, perhaps?
