Yeah, I know Christmas is over and this silly bit of business from Coke and Wal-Mart is well, just silly. But I like it. There is something heartwarming about a young man who appears to live in his own private apartment building and can invite all his online friends around for a Coke. I wonder if he paid their airfare as well? More important, I wonder how I can get on his Twitter list-oh wait, I’m more of a plurker myself.

What if Your Girlfriend was Gone?
Let’s face it: love songs are typically full of swooning serenades and tearful promises. But leave it to Carla Ulbrich to throw a comedic wrench into the well-oiled machinery of romance with her song, “What If Your Girlfriend Was Gone?” Picture this: you’re cozying up to your favorite love ballad, all hearts and roses, when suddenly, Carla Ulbrich swoops in with a tune that feels like the musical equivalent of an impromptu stand-up routine. The premise of the song is simple yet brilliant: what if your girlfriend—yes, that one who’s usually more organized than Marie Kondo and keeps you on…
RachelRay.Com and Rachel’s Vacations
Decide what it is that you are and then stay true to that thing. My brand is based very much on how I live my day-to-day life.–Rachel Ray Rachel Ray has signed a two-year agreement for a new prime-time series called Rachel’s Vacation. Having to work on 60 new episodes per year of 30 Minute Meals isn’t enough for Rachel Ray’s plate. Rachel Ray will star in the new travel series in which cameras will follow her around the world. I wonder if she will be eating the same kinds of things as chefs turned globetrotters Anthony Bourdan and Andrew…
New Mexico Tourism and Alien Visitors
I was in Roswell, NM a few years ago when they had the 50th Anniversary of the UFO Crash. That was a great bit of New Mexico Tourism, as most people would never have heard of Roswell if something had not fallen out of the New Mexico sky in 1947. This town in the middle of nowhere is not exactly a beauty spot. But it was still fun being there and eating at the Crash Down Cafe and visiting the UFO Museum.Of course, the aliens in this commercial, and the others like it, are not the cute and cuddly Greys…
Come to The Dark Side-We Have Cookies
I spend a lot of time in churches, most of which are purely for profit outfits that have huge buildings, their minister rides around in a limo, and they will tell you to your face that they are all about spreading the word of god. Most of them leave me alone, but every once in a while I run across a couple of gungho types that want to know what church I go to and tell me I am going to hell. And you don’t want to go to hell, do you? If it means that people like you are…

NBC’s New Bionic Woman
NBC’s Bionic Woman is more Nanobot Woman, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it. One of the saddest moments of my young life was when Jamie Sommers died on the operating table at the end of a Six Million Dollar Man episode. The Six Million Dollar Man, Steve Austin, was the star of the show, Jamie Sommers was just his girlfriend. In the original story they eventual got back together and had a Bionic Son with both legs and arms replaced and it seemed he had a laser in his bionic eye, or something silly of that nature.…
