Dick In A Box

So walking in the mall this morning (It's raining), we went past a window display for some outdoor fashion type clothing store, and half of the mannequins had gift boxes placed in front of them at about groin height. If their hands were positioned like they were holding the gifts, it wasn't very well done, the were just kind of suspended. I wish I had had my camera but I deliberately left it at home because i thought what the hell is there going to be to take a picture of at the mall?

So I can't decide if the window dressers have seen SNL's Dick in a Box and are having a laugh, or if they are completely unaware of this. Suffice to say the rest of the walk that song was running through my head........


Can't find an unbleeped version

The language of advertising is changing...on radio and TV

Have you seen/heard the ads for "Duluth Trading Ballroom Jeans"

I wish we could put that genie back in the bottle for the toilet paper ads. I don't like the cartoon bears with klingons on their asses. I don't like the women talking about how we have to "get real" about toilet paper talk. I wish we could go back to Mr. Whipple chasing people away from the Charmin displays in the store.

Seriously!

Those bears need shot in the face.

My gawd, it's just toilet paper. How hard is it?
