John Lennon’s New Car Commerial

So many people are upset about the John Lennon car commercial you would think they have shrines set up in their closets and voodoo dolls of Sean and Yoko burning in a dish.

Posting on Twitter, Sean Lennon said the ad was “not for money” but was intended to keep his father “out there in the world”.

Let it go already. If Sean and Yoko are ok with it – to keep their father/husband out in public once in awhile, so be it. It is not like they are doing it for the money (they are pretty set at this point).

Besides, would you rather see Yoko on a commercial to remind us of John Lennon? - I think not!

Newlywed Couple Spends 1st Night Together in Jail

From the newswire: A newlywed couple spent their wedding night in separate jail cells after police said the bride tried to run over an old flame of the groom.

Police told the Cape Cod Times that 22-year-old Marissa Ann Putignano-Keene tried Monday to run over the other woman and the woman’s son in a parking lot. The intended victim later told police that she had previously been in an intimate relationship with the groom.

Police say the couple married at Barnstable Town Hall and split a bottle of champagne afterward.

The bride was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Her husband, 37-year-old Timothy Keene, was riding in the car with her and was charged with disorderly conduct.

Both were released Tuesday. It was unclear if either had hired an attorney.

You just can’t make this stuff up. For starters, did anyone even notice the age difference in the marriage. I would have let the husband drive. He clearly has more experience. - Maybe she looked taller in the crib?

Budweiser Wins in Poor Economy

Well, here is a surprise. People drink in a poor economy.

When people are depressed or undergoing financial hardships, they drink. Who would have thought?

My proof? Anheuser-Busch made $1.28 billion in the last quarter of 2009. Budweiser remains the market leader in the US and Brazil.

Sure some people will say it had nothing to do with the economy but I beg to differ. If it is not due to the economy, what is it?

  • Certainly there were not that many NASCAR events going on.
  • Martha Stewart has not changed from cooking with wine to beer.
  • With the increasing shortage on chicken wings; beer and wing combos have not increased.
  • Beer is still more expensive than water (for now).

Yep, I pretty much think it was the economy but will need extensive time and money to research fully.

J&D’s: Lips Like Bacon

Here all this time I thought cherry flavored Chap Stick was the way to women’s heart. Maybe it depends on the type of women you are after but with J & D’s new bacon flavored lip balm the possibilities seem endless.

It was one of the product “features” that got my attention: “Safe for vegetarians.”

Granted I am not up on the vegetarian market (and please speak up if you are), but who knew that vegetarians have long since been craving the flavor of bacon to be coated on their lips?

Sure, bacon flavored lip balm seems to be the end all when it comes to a domestic common ground for meat-lovers and non-meat-lovers alike…but no. All is not nirvana when it comes to the meat flavored coating.

For instance the danger of attracting bears when camping comes to mind. Bears don’t know the meaning of “no” when it comes to casual kissing so the chance of them stopping at one kiss becomes unlikely.

If for some reason you are also wearing some sort of bacon scented body spray you should just notify your next of kin that you won’t be returning from the woods anytime soon.

Do It Yourself Dental?

Disclaimer: First off, I am not a Dentist and I have never played one on TV (or any movies for that matter). So my dental skills are limited to listening to my ipod while someone cleans my teeth and talks incessantly about Matt Lauer.

I do have a Facebook account and I am trying to understand the method of which I am targeted by advertisers. Most are pretty harmless but this one kind of threw me off, but then again, I am also intrigued.

Should I currently be a dentist or is this my opportunity to offer theslowbleed readers some supplemental dental coverage courtesy of yours truly?

I do have some space in the basement and I do have something that could work as a dental chair.

I am not sure what to do about anesthesia.

I have gasoline for the lawn mower and some hydrogen peroxide – just not sure if they would work or if there is a “safe” mixture I should adhere to. Perhaps the Dental Implant course comes with a quick course on anesthesia?

Ok, I am game. Who is up first?

UPDATE 2/28/10: OK, now the advertisements are getting even creepier.

TIGER versus PETA Billboard Advertisement

What happened to the good old days when PETA members would just grab a bucket of red paint and throw it on some 90-year-old women wearing a fur jacket at the ballet?

I guess red paint is hard to find now and no one is going to the ballet. Time to change the game plan…

PETA – the defender of, among other things,  “spay your cats and neuter your dogs,” is going after the big cat himself; Tiger Woods.

Putting aside the fact that I just beat up Tiger the other day for his press conference, this really is over the top on PETA’s part. What amazes me the most is PETA’s thinking that Tiger will think it is all in good fun?

Seriously? You think when Tiger drives outside his home and sees this billboard he will just start laughing at the whole thing?

He will probably find the “big tiger” “little tiger” part really amusing. So much so in fact he will probably pull over, take a picture of it with his camera phone, and email it to all his friends.

I suspect (or maybe secretly hope) that this really ends up being a hoax. If not, then all I can say is,  “Really PETA, just go to the paint store already and leave Tiger, and his family, alone.”
