Quick July 4th holiday edition!  There are some things that translate well to television, and there are other things that just don’t.  For example, I’d be willing to bet that the majority of people would say that watching football on television is more enjoyable than watching it live. — unless you have spectacular seats or [...]

Ya gotta love this line.  It’s use is fairly common in both movies, and on television.  It’s usually is yelled out by a son, when a stepdad is imposing his will on him.
“You’re not my father!!!  You can’t tell me what to do.”
It’s the ultimate biting line, because the stepdad can never really come up [...]

There’s no shortage of things that piss me off, and seeing commercials for prescription medication is something that definitely is somewhere near the top of that list.  Perhaps this is primitive thinking, but if I am sick or have some kind of medical problem, I should see a doctor.
The doctor diagnoses, then prescribes.  Admittedly, I’m [...]

I have to admit it really baffles me when I see such incredibly stupid advertising ideas.  I have no idea who you use as your Internet provider, but some companies actually BOAST about how much faster they are than dial-up services.  For some reason, as if this is 1995, they actually think some people still [...]

I’m pretty much ready to let this story die.  We all know it’s a relatively meaningless story, and something the media has just latched onto.  I’m typically pretty open-minded when it comes to off-color jokes.  It’s so absurd to think that Alex Rodriguez would have sexual relations with one of Sarah Palin’s daughters, so in [...]

Oh yeah?  What if I don’t?  How are you gonna know?  As far as I can see, it’s nearly impossible to enforce these kinds of laws.  Well, there was that one Seinfeld episode in which Jerry actually caught the cook “Papi” not washing his hands in the bathroom.
But other than visual confirmation, there’s little anybody [...]

Beer commercials throughout time have been very hit or miss for me.  I’m not a big beer drinker, but who wouldn’t have an appreciation for stupid humor and/or boobs…Yes, boobs.
Now on TV they’re running this ad, which I believe is for Budweiser.  I tried to hunt down a YouTube clip, or a transcription, but was [...]

Not to get too technical here, but on TV/Film production shoots, everytime there is a location change, “room tone,” must be recorded.  The person in charge of recording audio will ask all others on set to keep silent for a few  seconds while he records the “sound of the room.”
It was during this kind of [...]

Before I get into it, let me begin with a few disclaimers.  Number 1, I usually don’t trust the government myself.  Number 2, it’s not an outlandish thought to feel Osama Bin Laden and similar figures have been somewhat mystified by the media with a “boogieman” status, in order to promote fear.  Number 3, [...]

Scott MacIntyre, the blind contestant this season on American Idol needs my help. Hopefully he is reading this and will consider my suggestions.
I think for SOME of his performances he oughta wear sunglasses. His eyes aren’t weird-looking or anything. And it’s not as if he’s a deformed freak or anything, it’s just [...]
