Haven’t done a question of the week in a while, so I’ll start off with an easy one:
What TV Character Would You Most Want To Hook Up With?
I’m looking for the character and not the actor/actress.
I’ll start it out:
Cerie (The Secretary On 30 Rock)
So lets here it, who ya’ hookin’ up with?
Last night on American Idol, contestant Luke Menard (the one that looks like a homeless Dawson Leary) showed America how he is involved in an acappella group.
Let’s be honest for a moment. No good has ever come from admitting that you were/are currently in an acappella group. (Unless you were in the early 90’s fad group, Rockapella, which even then is a stretch because as much as Zombie Jamboree was a decent song, they sold out to provide the musical baselines for the TV show Carmen Sandiego and thus ruined their careers).
Luke then compounded an already bad situation by declaring that the group’s name is called CHAPTER 6. Is it some kind of madrigal code that if you sing without instruments that your group’s name needs to be so ridiculously awful as to let potential music buyers know to stay away at all costs? Kind of like advertising that Billy Baldwin is in your movie for movie goers?
The Coup De Gras was when they showed the video of Chapter Six. If you didn’t see it, imagine 6 guys, who make Backstreet Boys look tough, coming out of a J Crew during their annual sweater vest sale. I wish they had put up a parental warning because I really hope that no young children saw what these men (and I use that term loosely) were doing and said “Hey Mom, I want to try that!” If you asked Webster to come up with one word to describe these boys it would be….TOOLS.
Hopefully, Luke gets sent home this week and the stench of nerdy accapellaness will stop emitting from my television. Or maybe Luke can be that guy, who finally makes listening to accapella cool and socially acceptable. It’s up to you America!
According to this story on Yahoo, Dr. Robert Jarvik, who is the Lipitor spokesman and this year’s runner up for the National Search For the Person That Looks The Most Like the Crypt Keeper from HBO’s Tales From The Crypt, is not a “practicing” physician. Apparently, people think the ads are misleading and now Pfizer will be pulling the ads.
My favorite part of the story is when it says “Jarvik describes himself as a medical scientist who has worked in the field of artificial hearts for 36 years and does not practice clinical medicine or treat individual patients.” You know who’s really pissed off right now? People with the Jarvik Artificial Heart pounding away in their chest. Somebody probably didn’t tell them that this wasn’t made by a medical doctor, instead, it was made by somebody that describes himself as a “guy that knows that a heart has 4 chambers and is visually different from hearts displayed on Valentine’s Day.”
Now if these people with the artificial hearts were smart, they bought it at Costco. I believe they can return it at any times and exchange it for the Kirkland Artificial Heart, which is just as good, but a third of the price, no questions asked. If you bought it at Best Buy, hopefully you sprung for the extended warranty plan, cause something tells me that an artificial heart, that wasn’t designed by a doctor could have problems. Finally, if you had to buy it at Odd Lots, better go buy some Will Making software, cause lord only knows if those AAA batteries in there are name brand.
Hopefully Pfizer can find a new way to market their drug. How about getting the band Heart to pitch it?
