you'll never find a tougher pair of painters...or a stupider commercial.
We've all seen enough television, even if you don't watch tv very often, to have seen an Old Navy commercial, and i think it's safe to say, most everyone who has sat through one of these, pretty much wanted to kill themselves...So this is nothing new, the fact that Old Navy's marketing is irritating as hell, it is of course really effective, because look at me, i've mentioned Old Navy three times and i'm only warming up...theres at least 2 more to come
of course i've never been to Old Navy, and i dont have any clothes of that brand, not that i have anything against their clothes, good deals or employees...i just have never been there, and i really have no inclination to find the store nearest me and shop til i drop...and if i ever had any urge to go, i would remember one of the commercials and say..."wait, u almost got me, but fuck, what the hell is up with Cargo Fever? and don't get me started on the Rugby Bunch, forget it, i'm going to _______"(<--- your fine clothing establishment of choice here)....
Their newest commercial isn't the same kind of dumb...its a new low...This time, Old Navy hired the B list celeb power of Fran Drescher to sell their Painter's Pants...Drescher who, doesnt make me laugh or want to buy pants for that matter, hasn't had a good role since she played Bobbi Flekman in This is Spinal Tap. (Cadillac Man was pretty good and so was Jack, both Robin Williams vehicles, but that The Nanny shit was god awful...and i know Saturday Night Fever, right, but that was before Spinal Tap, and i said she hasnt had a good role since that, god don't u listen...)
The advertisement, is Fran Drescher, looking collagened up [edit: i meant botoxed, whatever who cares, she looks like she's had some work done, a little fake is what im saying, damn i can't hit a homerun everytime], walking down the street, and down stairs, while the song "Standing on the corner, watching all the guys go by, standing on the corner, giving all the guys the eye" plays...IN NOT ONE SCENE IS SHE STANDING ON A CORNER... she is walking the entire time...in Slow Mo of course, giving these some might claim 'seductive', i say SCARY glances at guys who have passed her...It's just ridiculous, i hate it so much...
I've been foolin with my layout alot and yesterday i erased a huge chunk of code on accident and uploaded the maimed version, i was in a panic so then i just put up a page that said "oops" on it, to give myself some time to fix the problem, but then i got tired of that, so i put up a version that i thought was decent but it was all backwards and gross, but then i couldnt ftp to my server for like an hour, and when i finally could, i put up a mishmash mix 'em up with some new code and now its this, and well it will be changing soon again hopefully...
i used to work on my site late at night and thrive, creatvity flowed and i felt great, now i find myself frustrated and angry and drooping like a flower after 3am, and my typos are running rampant, more than usual, which is really annoying...
Trust me ryan gray, i didn't bump you down the list of links for any personal reason, i was just doing the mask a favor:
F ALC0N23: in the links section will you put me over the top of the madponies
F ALC0N23: i want to get on them just once
so now ryan perry is riding the madponies...
and ryan gray, now the madponies are riding you....
i feel its a good deal for everyone involved....
Instead of my usual large green font, i will leave you with a short little garfield comic strip...by next week, hopefully, i should have a new section up on my site featuring cartoons....
