When it starts, she snaps her head towards the TV and will watch the whole thing.

Wait. I guess this goes for the whole household. :P

Stumbled on it today.

I assure you, it doesn’t always go this way!!

I might consider this to be offensive to parents of preemies… if I was one of those people who jumped on the politically correct offense bandwagon. :P

True?

False?

Works?

We just saw this commercial between the two movies. Cracks me up, I love it!



And, of course, while YouTubing for the above video, I came upon another that’s pretty good:

Awesome. :)

Too bad Sarah’s on dial-up, she’s gonna love these. Hopefully I’ll remember to show her next time she’s over here.

Oh, then we also have this one, and this one, but I still like the other two best.

I’m just sayin’!

I’m already tired of all the political mud-slinging. For once, I’d like to see a commercial where a candidate says what they stand for instead of attempting to make their opponent look bad. They are ALL “the pot calling the kettle…” Well, I guess there is one Missouri-specific race in which I’ve seen one of the parties do things the proper way, but for the most part, the mud-slinging has begun!

And so have the surveys. I hung up on one the other day, the caller ID said literally 0000000000 and once she started in on me with a political survey (when she sounded like she wasn’t even in this freaking country), I hung up. They then proceeded to call me three more times at all hours of the day until I finally answered and went through the bloody survey.

I’m now waiting for the mailings to begin. Oh, wait, they have. Well, more fuel for the fire.

And now, let the mud-slinging begin on here… ’cause I know it’s bound to come now. Place nice, kiddos.

Then they introduce this ingenious new invention (!!!!): magnets! Four for only $14.99!!!

Um, okay. Heh.

Anyway. These things use claw clasps to connect to your existing claw clasps (assuming you have claw clasps on your jewelry) and then you use the new magnetic clasp. The people are suddenly happy now, because all they have to do now is get the magnets near each other and they connect.

But what they don’t tell you is that it will also extend the length of your necklace or bracelet. I started laughing when I saw the woman spinning a bracelet around her wrist, failing to make the ends meet. Then she adds the magnets and it attaches immediately, of course, but now it’s also too big for a bracelet, having added another two inches to the length. So, while you can get the bracelet on yourself, you’re going to lose it because it’s too big now!

That and… well, did anyone ever think of putting the necklace on with the clasp in front, then spinning it around to where it’s supposed to be once you’ve gotten it attached?

OR! Do what I do and only buy magnetic jewelry for arthritis and such… they already come with magnetic clasps. :) But even funnier? They advertised that during the Veggie Tales show. They want kids to buy these? :P

Sorry, had to waste some time while E’s in time-out. :-)
