Ragu Long Day of Childhood Parents Bedroom

While watching the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, one of the most surprisingly hilarious and racy commercials aired that featured a little boy walking in on his parents, as we as the viewers are to assume are bumping uglies. When they coined the term, “sex sells,” I’m not exactly sure pasta sauce was ever considered.

Ragú, one of the many brands under Unilever Food’s supervision, took a big leap of faith to debut this commercial, especially during such a monumental event like the Olympics. The “Long Day of Childhood” campaign composed by the BFG 9000 agency (Barton F. Graf 9000) – although his name creates BFG, I’m sure he thought he was clever referencing the video game Doom – sparked major controversy, but I consider it one of the best commercials ever.

Kia Soul Hamsters Breaking Dancing

I love these damn anthropormorphic hamsters that it just drives me insane. Perhaps it’s because these commercials are just so awesome or maybe it’s because my mother told me when I was seven that my pet hamster “ran away” and I envision he turned into a break dancing brand mascot? Either way, what Kia Motors is doing for the Soul is just a wonderful thing right here. It’s been a year since we last saw these guys, let’s see what they’re up to now. Continue reading →

Michael Clarke Duncan Dead at 54

It is many a tragedy to hear of any one at a young age like Michael Clarke Duncan to pass away at 54, but although his passing is terribly depressing, we must remember him for all of the incredible work he has done. Most notably known for his works in The Green Mile and Armageddon, Michael Clarke Duncan was that lovable, hulking black man that captivated audiences through his immensely strong on-screen presence (there is no other actor who could replace him). Today we lost a great, kind-hearted actor who will forever be missed. He had endless potential and a great range of work that will carry on forever. More on the story after the break.

AMC Zombie For President

Dish Network subscribers who love AMC, I feel your pain. Losing your favorite station can be tough, I know, I was distraught when DirecTV dropped G4. If I were to lose AMC, I would probably switch my current cable subscriber immediately. No longer are you able to watch Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and Mad Men. Where will you go to for classic movie marathons like “Mob Week” or “Fearfest”? This current war AMC is waging against Dish is not unwarranted, but will their messages be heard in time for the fall release of The Walking Dead? Continue reading →

London 2012 Olympics Michael Phelps

The all-time record of medals received by an Olympian was 18, until Mr. Phelps came along.
