Shampoo Commercial

Here's a touching shampoo commercial making its way around the 'net.  It's four minutes long and is pretty powerful.  The cinematography is beautiful and the directing is crisp. It looks gorgeous and crams quite a bit of story telling in there.  It may be a bit melodramatic, but I enjoy some good melodrama.

If we had more commercials like this in the US, maybe the ink wouldn't have worn off my Tivo fast forward button.

Christmas commercial

While the Lexus commercials do remind me that the Christmas season is here, they are not my favorite Christmas time commercials.  No, that title is reserved for this gem from Corona that's been running for years.:

Have a wonderful Christmas.

Jason Alexander for the McDLT

I was at work event with some college students last month. I made joke about the McDLT and they just stared at me. It was one of those moments that made me feel old. So of course I felt the need to discuss it on Facebook. In that discussion, Brian from Q'ner Industries sent me this link:



It's a mid-80, thin, pre-Costanza Jason Alexander singing and dancing while extolling the virtues of this awesome and too short lived McDonald's sandwich.

And I think, "Keep the hot side hot, and cool side cool" is one of the best tips for living your life to come out of a fast food commercial.
