I just saw an ad on tv in Manhattan for Bermuda shorts (Old Navy)
It is below freezing.
Stop the insanity.

I haven't seen that...but I have seen the Rooms To Go commercial more than enough, the one where the two people graciously sing "Tomorrow"...

I'm never shopping at Rooms To Go now. Never.

Spring IS coming... eventually... supposedly... hopefully.

If we are talking about Phantom--Yes, I do.

If we are talking about something else--Not really!

I like the PHANTOM advertising. It's very sexual in a very subtle way, just like the show.

And I do remember my first time... and I can't wait for the next time.

The next time I see PHANTOM, that is.

I'm just insulted by most advertising nowadays. But I admit, I like the Brawny man.

My favorite is always the fact that every toilet paper commercial features babies and puppies: two groups that obviously don't use toilet paper.

I hate the female commercials...the ones for vaginal whatever. Eww. Gross.

The burning sensations?

Oy.

The fact that healthcare has become so commercial (OTC medicines and prescriptions alike) just disgusts me.

The Burning Sensations - weren't they a punk rock band?

I just think it is stupid. I want nice weather now!

The first day of Spring is just over two weeks away and a LOT of people travel to warmer climates this time of year, as you surely know, Corine. Why, EVERYBODY remembers the tale of your island sojourn and a certain prehistoric lizard. Don't you?

Yes, I enjoy subtle sexuality, as well. It's definitely better than the in-your-face-see-my-boobs-and-ass-I'm-horny type of sexuality that is everywhere these days.
