Here's a commercial that ran here locally.  Me and my dad were trying to work this one out.  Glad to see that we weren't the only one's that found it silly.

I will not willingly do business with any company that uses talking baby ads. Fuck. That. Noise.

The reverse 1984 ad was OK.

I thought the NFL spot with the sitcom characters all having football apparel was amusing.  For a brief moment I thought about seeking it out online to determine which characters were wearing which teams' stuff, but thought the better of it.  Fortunately, we have Deadspin to do it for us.

All I know is that girl from the Blackeyed Peas can't sing for shit.

QFT.  Hooray for auto-tune, I suppose.  Furthermore, I ain't saying she's ugly, I ain't saying I'd kick her out of bed for eating crackers.  But honestly, she ain't all that.

yea and verily, her lady lumps, while sufficient, are not as big of a deal as the song implies.

This post makes me sad.  Yes, it's a tiny slice of Americans.  But while I think it's unfortunate that she flubbed the anthem, it isn't THAT big a deal, and I don't pretend to know anything about her as a person based on it.  Apparently some people just can't wait to be a cock to a stranger.

I learned a new word today, oversouling.

I'm not sure where that writer gets the idea that "melisma" means "the bending of syllables for bluesy or soulful effect," but for sure "oversouling" is a word we need. It's hard to fight something unless you have a good label for it.

the term melisma for many notes on one syllable dates back to the middle ages. i like to call it miasma.

I have never heard "melisma," only "melismatic."
