Who the hell watches daytime TV? Not me, normally. But I was convalescing from cataract surgery yesterday and was just kinda lying on the couch taking it easy. I started out watching the news channel and then after that got kind of repetitive switched over to the Game Show Network. There's something both networks had in common; Ads aimed at fat old people. Between Nutri System commercials and ads for lawsuits due to strokes from testosterone gel or metal hip replacements I couldn't help but start to feel very, very old and very, very fat. Hell, Kerri lost 110 pounds! Way to go Kerri. I don't know if she emptied out her bank account purchasing the Nutri Syestem menu or not but whatever she did sure seems to have worked. I can tell you, though, who didn't use Nutri System - those fat old people who fell in the shower, down the stairs or on the kitchen floor and couldn't get up. Lucky a friend or relative happened by to discover them just out of arms reach from...

Here's an ad with a little something for everyone. It stars model Gisele Bundchen (wife of Patriots' QB Tom Brady) and includes football (natch), a little Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon action and even Zombies (ya hear that Quirky?!). Oh yeah, and it's selling HDTVs. Sit back and enjoy this innovative ad...

Uh, nope not that one. I'm talking about the car that's named after him. You know, car makers spend a bundle on advertising. It's surprising, perhaps, given their precarious financial situation that the advertising budgets of the Big 3 are so huge. Then again, I guess you have to spend money to make money and nothing drives (no pun intended) customers in like television ads. Over the last couple of years Lincoln has run some smart, catchy ads. It's their, what I like to call, "take off" series of ads: black and white and cool music that hearkens us back to the early days of the space program while propelling us forward to the future of cars. For example, first there was a Lincoln commercial featuring Cat Power doing David Bowie's Space Oddity... Then it was Major Tom (Coming Home) by Shiny Toy Guns... And finally it was Daft Punk doing Technologic... I think these commercials are kinda cool. They always make me sit up and take notice when they come on. And...

He would have been 76 years of age today. He died 3 years ago at the age of 73 - the hardest working man in show business. Who am I talking about? Well he was called many things: Soul Brother Number One Sex Machine Mr. Dynamite The Hardest Working Man in Show Business The King of Funk Minister of The New New Super Heavy Funk Mr. Please Please Please Please Her The Boss, and foremost The Godfather of Soul. I'm talkin' about James Brown . Here's a most unique version of It's A Man's World - a song Brown made his own - this time sung with, of all people, Pavarotti. It's an unlikely pairing but it'll give you goosebumps - it did me. Enjoy...

Practical, reliable Taureans are great lovers of sensual pleasures, although you do tend to be rather stubborn, possessive and conservative. Firmly anchored in the material world, you have a fine grasp of what is needed in order to lead the good life. Of course, you are capable in emergencies, where you have an instinctive understanding of what to do, but under normal circumstances, no-one can force you into anything without due time for thought and consideration. Who, me? Stubborn? Possessive? I guess so, 'cause today's my birthday. And, I'd have to agree with the following... Taurus rules the throat, giving a powerful, often beautiful voice. The influence of Venus opens up a world of musical talent and appreciation, so Taureans are good singers and musicians, or at least, love music and can be a force on the business side of music. Here are some others with whom I share my date of birth...April 28th 1758 - James Monroe, Westmoreland Va, (D-R) 5th pres (1817-25) 1878 - Lio...

"Wow". That's what I said when that news story appeared about the prostitute biting Sham Wow spokesman Vince's tongue and him pounding on her face until she let him go. He was lucky it was his tongue, otherwise Vince might've been saying a lot more than "wow"! But I digress... What the heck makes Sham Wow so damn popular? And the ad, according to the Sham Wow website, is popular, too, ranking as the #1 informercial of all time! Wow! But try to convince Bill O'Reilly of the claims Vince makes... Let's look at what Sham Wow claims: It is made in Germany Easily removes cola, wine and pet stains Doesn't drip, doesn't make a mess Washes, dries, and polishes any surface Won't scratch any surface Machine washable and bleachable Lasts ten years Big deal. What's so catchy about that. There's nothin' there that would convince me to buy a product called a "sham". And no wonder poor old Bill was upset. Thesaurus.com equates...
