Extreme Product Placement

In the season premiere of Mad Men, Ubermensch Don Draper, well known for bagging numerous pneumatic hotties at once, had a little problem pleasing his super hot wife.

How could this happen? Well, I bet the Viagra sponsorship of episode 2 may have had something to do with it.

The perks of being an alum

Just had this entertaining conversation with a rep from the Northwestern Aquatic Center.

“How much is admission for an alumni?”
“12 dollars”

“How do I prove I’m an alumni?”

“Do you have a card?”

“No, can you look me up online?”

“No, sorry you’ll need to get a card”

“Hmm, how much is admission if you aren’t an alumni?”

“12 dollars”

How about not replacing her?

Just spent the week loitering in Cleveland and noticed this bit of inanity.

A representative died and they will have to pay size money to replace her for a term of practically nothing during which time the new electee won’t even vote.

Replacing Tubbs Jones could cost $5.5M

No Part Too Small for Samuel Jackson

I’ve always loved Sam Jackson, but I’ve always been amused by his career. He’s the anti-Chris Tucker (Three Rush Hour movies and nothing else in a decade). In the early part of Jackson’s career, he was in seemingly every independant film around for about three minutes - all the early Spike Lee movies plus infintessimally small parts in everything from Coming to America and True Romance to Johnny Suede. The guy worked like he thought he’d never get another role.

I took my nephew to see the new Star Wars animated feature today. Having heard that of the big stars only Sam did his own voice overs, I had to chuckle knowingly after realizing that Sam’s role (if he really did come in to record it) was basically only one line. My guess is that they simply recycled something from the second trilogy. He says something generic to Yoda like “This developement in the force vexes me.”

But then again given his history, it was perfect.
