I Can't Believe It's Not Blonde!

fabio091906

THIS JUST IN! (Or at least, this just noticed). Male model, margarine salesman, and all-around dreamboat Fabio has gone to the dark side. That's right. His trademark flaxen locks have taken on deep, brown hues, thus officially turning him into a brunette. This news may come as a great shock to many, and already, the Red Cross is setting up local trauma centers for people too stunned to get back to their daily lives. No word on what caused this earth-shattering transformation, but we're hoping it's not an indication of failing health or shrinking man-breasts. We'll have more information as it comes in...

Neutrogenagasm Part II


Click to play (Quicktime 7 required)

Hey! We all love The OC, and I actually thought last night's episode was pretty good. Since the season finale isn't for another two weeks and I have all sorts of actual work to do, look for a full recap next Thursday or Friday. Until then, enjoy this fifteen seconds of Mischa in a Neutrogena commercial (dig that soundtrack!). She doesn't look nearly as awkward as that bebe campaign she's in. The rumor is that they are going to kill of Marissa, but with that kind of acting talent, why would they dare?

Raisin' My Ire!

sunmaid

Last night, I saw this commercial for Sun-Maid raisins that really disturbed me. Some brilliant advertising firm thought it'd be an awesome idea to turn that little Sun-Maid woman into a vacant-eyed, CGI zombie. Why are companies doing this? First Toys 'R' Us turns Geoffrey the Giraffe into a CGI giraffe (instead of his old, cuddly incarnation), and now this? Before we know it, Tony the Tiger is going to go all Toy Story on us, and I don't even want to think about what sort of empty, lifeless transformation the Land O' Lakes woman will undergo.

Let me clarify that I have no sworn allegiances to the Sun-Maid lady. In fact, I really never thought much of her before. But way to drag the soul out of the poor woman. She's just trying to pick some grapes, for crying out loud!!
