Not a Whopper Virgin

I saw a commercial this evening for what is essentially the ultimate taste test between The Whopper and the Big Mac. The website asks the question, "Whopper or Big Mac? The Whopper virgins will decide." If you go to the website, you'll get the gist of the commercial. No YouTube video(s) at blog time. I can't offer much perspective but I bet a Yaybia lady is already kicking out a new entry about it. For me, I'm interested because I have a personal curiosity about who exactly the remote people in Thailand are. Hmong? A different hill tribe in Thailand?

The campaign is already generating some buzz. Will it really be the "most amazing and blog-worthy advertising campaign of all time" as claimed by Burger King? or, uh, just offend some? I don't think the potential heritage connection really takes me away from the campaign's goals! I'm still intrigued, I'm talking about it, and I kinda want a veggie burger.

The Nigerian Scam

First, I call this post ‘The Nigerian Scam’ simply because that’s what they're called.

I was disrupted at work today with an out of area phone call on my cell by a man with a foreign accent about some ‘package’ to be delivered to my house worth $1.4 million. I said, “Err… I’m not interested, thanks” and hung up. Duh, scamarama! I’ve seen plenty of the likes in my inbox before, but my cell? Oh boy. He immediately called me back with a LOCAL number and proceeded to give me the same intro along with verifying my first, middle, last name, and home address. Oh shit. Now I’m listening. I tell him, “I’m not interested, I have no idea what you’re talking about, I can’t understand you” blah blah. So then the guy offers to have me talk to the CEO of his company, I say “sure” hoping I might actually understand what in the world is going on. At that point, I almost believed that I might owe them a package of some sort via eBay via my brother who sometimes uses my account. But, I was unsure and thus I agreed. Immediately I’m addressed by yet another man with yet another thick accent who is saying the same damn thing. Now I’m getting peeved. I say, “WHAT are you talking about? I don’t want the package, I’m not interested, do NOT call me back.” The man pauses and says, “Why are you acting like this? There is a package that you claimed for $1.4 million dol—“

“Why Am I acting like this?! Why are you calling me?! Do not call me back.” I know, useless but I got him to hang up on me. Why the story? I don’t know, I guess I can’t believe he would ask me why I was acting that way. As if a package worth $1.4 million was legit! Also, the entry will likely get indexed and maybe some unsuspecting and curious individual will realize how dopey this deal is.

Speaking of scams, freecreditreport.com is NOT the same thing as www.annualcreditreport.com. Personally, I think it’s an offense to even own a domain that dupes consumers into believing their service is free. The true ‘free’ credit report website is www.annualcreditreport.com. The downside? No credit score is given. Enjoy!

Blush

Shear Genius for hair lovers, Project Runway for fashion fanatics, Hell’s Kitchen for foodies. And now?! Blush, a new reality TV competition show for make up junkies. I knew a show like this would be here sooner or later. It premiered last night on Lifetime though I didn’t watch it nor do I feel compelled to on a regular basis. If it’s anything like Project Runway or America’s Next Top Model though... mm…got me.

What an idiot!

MN Daily link
Star Tribune link

Why did the Strib disable comments for this story? Maybe because 1) the story has elements of race which is very sensitive (not that it has ever stopped them or the Pioneer Press) and 2) people would be calling for the girl to get stoned for being so stupid. It would do the U good to kick her out of school. Sorry, I don’t feel bad about that either!

Truth

I happen to think this is a damn good piece. I'm far from being a journalist (very far!) but I did graduate from the U of M School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Be objective, be ethical, seek truth, doo doo do...how should I know what a journalism education is like? I majored in PR. Yeah, well, I've always expressed disdain for fluff news too.

There is a cynical quote by Mark Twain that goes something like "If you don't read the news you're uninformed. If you do you're misinformed." Mr. Twain could not have been more right. Sigh and sigh, we all just want the truth...

Frodo, one of Jane Goodall's precious chimpanzee stole a 14 month old baby and ate it in 2002. I'll spare you the details. It wasn't put down??! You've got to be shitting me!!! No, I do not have any remorse for what I just said! The chimp went on to receive medical care after it got sick, was known to be extremely violent, and was protected by Tanzania's Gombe National Park where 'it' resided. Worse, he is famous in the chimp world.. just look him up.

Chimps are not fucking extinct animals. This is not the first case of human infants getting kidnapped and devoured either. I AM FUMING! Blerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrafadfadfafda!

**Update**
So it seems they are going extinct in 3 or 4 countries. Good!
