Do i have the power to end a thread? ^^

its going to hell in a hand-basket, is where its going...

hell in a handbasket huh, this is just where i belong

That's it, Thread. Your ass is outta here. Come around, again, and you'll be singin' a dead thread's song.

How does that one go??

Isn't "Thready's Dead" a Curtis Mayfield song?

Another Pueo sighting! He's everywhere!

But not yet sufficiently ubiquitous for MY taste.

so,

can i flic yer bic?

I need a written permission slip from Jespah before even tabling the matter for consideration.

Do you even have a bic?

obviously!

m'kay, i'll get back to you...

Flippin' Bic-flickers!

(If I said that real fast in public, I'd prob'ly get arrested.)

While we are waiting for Region to make a bic flic decision.......



Now I have seen EVERYTHING!

I have just seen an ad for some type of mint or minty chewing gum.. you know, one of those ones that is supposed to be really cool and such...anyhoo, this fella is bare chested, and the ad has him get so chiiled by the mint that his nipples become eretc, anf then GROW! So they are several inches long!



It's revolting.....



And the damn things WIGGLE.


He presses lift buttons with them, and hangs his sunglasses from them....and women SMILE at him.


This is too much for me.....it's as gross as the beer ad where the fella's tongue wiggles out of his sleeping mouth wiggles away and goes and gets a beer from the party over the road, and glops itself back in his mouth, and he wakes up with this tongue that's been god knows where, and a bottle of beer in his mouth.


It's just wrong, the whole thing.



Ewwwww...

Puh-leeze, dlowan! It's fairly early morning here and I just got up. You're grossing me out already.

Is this another dream commercial?

If only!


This means I am gonna have to see it more than once...unless it turns everyone's stomach.


I dunno...don't advertiosers not care if it annoys you, as long as the brand stays in your head?



hehehe...I have no idea what brand it is.

I think objective number one is to get you interested (or at least cognizant of) the product. Second objective is to influence brand.

If I am a major beer manufacturer, fer instance, I already command a certain share -- let's say 15% -- of the market. Therefore if I make an advertisement that makes 100 people go to the frig and grab a beer, about 15 will be grabbing the beer I make. (All else being equal.)

Now, if I only make 0.01% of the beer sold in that market, I've gotta push for name recognition, to interest people in my brand rather than just my product.

But for the minty candy/gum products, the selection isn't all that huge, so I imagine that as long as it reminds people how much they need to have mints in their pockets at all times, the advertiser has been successful.







But who gives a crap, really. It sounds revolting. Which doesn't mean I wouldn't be entertained by the commercial. I don't buy gum or mint candies, though...

Could double as a commercial for nipple rings.

Alright kids, we've worn out the nipple talk. Lights out.

Does that mean that the thread is ended?
