making fun of other people's ads, part 3

this was in the "northside neighbor" community newspaper.  i think it's a nice-looking ad, but read the blurb: 


 a "lifetime" of experience, huh?  they must have used the wrong guy's headshot, because the guy i'm looking at can't be a day over 25.  

here's another ad for a children's consignment store (you may remember this one).  maybe i shouldn't put this on the list of bad ads since it's actually decent...all i'm gonna do is make fun of the business name.  why name it something that is not indicative of the products or services?  maybe i'm missing something.  this is like naming a donut shop "bells and whistles" or a pet store "ace hardware."  ok maybe not that bad, but you get it.

costco WIN

check out this enormous bottle of kirkland vodka andy bought at costco for a mere $27:



so huge it won't even fit in the cabinet. sorry if my enthusiasm is a little over-the-top: the costco that's up the street from me doesn't sell liquor, so we tend to forget about the amazing values that await us at the dunwoody store. and let me tell you, we went on a crazy booze-buying rampage. i mean, it'd be a crime *not* to buy the super-size bottle of makers mark when the price was so good, right?  anyway, it was a great day of buying goods in massive quantities. after scoring such amazing deals on alcohol never again shall we pay too much. never again, my friends.

totally looks like v.2

american idol is back, and you know i'm watching.  i thought i was finished watching this crap after last season, but no, i've been sucked in *again.*  i think the judges found a few legitimately talented people this year (casey abrams) unlike last season's fiascos lee dewyze and crystal bowersox. sheesh. anyway, here are mine & andy's thoughts on a few of the contestants who totally look like other people:

naima totally looks like the alien "diva" in the movie the fifth element. the aqua dress really sealed the deal on this one, although the resemblance is most notable when she sang in the wild card round this past week. personally, i don't think she's anything worth getting excited over.





and then we have ashley. probably the most unattractive person to make it to the final rounds of hollywood week. thank goodness she got cut. she looks like a meth-head, so i have her pictured below with two "faces of meth."  i think that ashley was also one of the worst singers they put through to hollywood and i can't believe she almost got on the show. if you want to hear how bad she is, check out her initial audition on you tube.









and now for the obvious - casey abrams & seth rogen: 





if you're not up on how awesome this guy is, you need to check out casey's performance of georgia on my mind and i put a spell on you. he's the real deal.
