Sorry about that last rant, but I had to get some things off my chest.

On a serious note, what's the deal with commercials? Have you seen the one where the guy is shaving his car? I know it's supposed to showcase the razor's protective shaving gel, but if you have to shave your car, you've got bigger problems than your choice of electric razor.

And that Old Navy commercial, with the dancing monkey and Fran Drescher. "My shizzle's gone fazizzle"? What does that mean??? What does that or the monkey have to do with Old Navy?

Between that and the Golden Arches, it seems like media is going "hip hop." When was the last time you saw a McDonald's commerical that wasn't "street?" For serious, I'm certainly not "lovin' it."

I'm not hatin' or discriminatin', but I fail to see the corporate appeal in these promotions. It doesn't matter what the theme is, they're just poorly produced.

Anyway, it's time for the exciting conclusion to last night's "What the Deuce?" As you may remember (if you don't, just scroll down and read it), my roommate Topher called the Shop at Home network to ask them why a 1995 "Double Die Obverse Lincoln Cent" penny was selling for $99.96. Apparently, the portrait of the Lincoln Memorial was printed upside down. So an eight-year old mistake is now worth $100. How can I get in on scams like this? Maybe I should start looking through all my old pennies . . .

I should be going now. Conan O'Brien is on, and I need to study for three finals tomorrow. Come back tomorrow for an explanation of why I'm referred to as Baurawt and the Prime Minister of Canada. Same blog time, same blog channel!
