A Few Things
Drew Barrymore has been doing makeup commercials lately. She seems to have gotten a fake tan for this - it does NOT look good. She should stick with the peaches and cream schtick that is her natural coloring.
Ellen Degeneres is apparently now a spokesmodel for Cover Girl. Certainly never saw THAT coming! Ellen, please read above and learn from Drew's mistake. You are also pale - so do not get a fake tan.
Was watching this Mystery Diagnosis show on TLC and a girl is talking about her issue. At one point she says, "My chiropractor prescribed anti-inflammatory pills ..." Okay, what? Chiropractors can't prescribe medicine!
Also, there was a Clorox commercial that struck me as a little strange. They have this stain fighter detergent and the basis of the commercial is that a guy drives up to a soccer field where a bunch of boys are playing soccer and have gotten grass stains on their jerseys. The guy has a truck that has a built-in washer and dryer on the side of it, and he wants to show how well this awesome new detergent is right there, in the moment. To encourage the boys to want to see how well it works, the man takes off his shirt (he is wearing a t-shirt underneath) and sure enough all the little boys come running and taking off their jerseys (wearing white wife-beaters underneath).
Is it me, or is a grown man encouraging little boys he doesn't know to take off their shirts kind of weird? Or have I been watching too much To Catch a Predator?
Lastly, I walked something like seven city blocks today and couldn't find a freaking mailbox anywhere! Like payphones, are they going out of business? I walked past four different sets of those free magazine stands, but it was a bitch and a half trying to mail my unemployment form today while running other errands.

OK Green, you gotta stop watching To Catch a Predator.
That alone just freaks me out knowing people like that show.
long time lurker, first time commenter - i too find that clorox commercial disturbing but what gets me about it is the fact that the "soccer mom" with the kids is ENCOURAGING the kids to go to the strange man with the van!
-CHA!
There are no mailboxes in Phoenix too. It's a pain in the ass because there is no outgoing box in my apartment complex so I have to stick all my Netflixes in my inbox and half the time the mail person doesn't pick them up. Also, I am on the internet again.
Same problem withmailboxes in Sweden!
A man should NOT be telling strange boys to take off their clothes! You are RIGHT. For starters.
