I recently broke down and bought the Benjamin Franklin Instant Disguise Kit.

Today I tested this disguise to see if it lives up to its name and the results were astounding: one of the images below is the American forefather Benjamin Franklin, the other is my two year old niece.

Can you tell the real Benjamin Franklin from the impostor?
I rest my case.

Minor Travesty of the Week

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

redwhitenomoreblues

This Summer, Dreyer’s Ice Cream has decided to go with a limited edition “economic recovery” themed ice cream:
“Red, White & No More Blues!”
It even comes with its own exclamation point.

Their tagline: “Recovery never tasted so good.”

Really.

They are using the economic recession as a marketing gimmick at a whole new level.

Some suggestions for alternate taglines:
Looks like you’ll be eating ice cream for lunch and dinner this week!
You’re not working, might as well get fat!
Buy ice cream or diapers, make your choice!
Strawberry and blueberry – the official flavors of valueless stocks!
Red, White & Food Stamps!
• Find flavor while searching for hope!

The real recession-friendly ice cream:
the 99¢ McDonald’s soft-serve cone.

At 7:49AM this morning (June 28), loud hairy TV pitchman Billy Mays was pronounced dead – as simple as 1-2-3. It is currently not known if the death of the 50-year-old was related to a minor airline accident injury from the previous day.

Farewell Billy – he lived life with an exclamation point.

Puccho – No Idea, But I Like You

Monday, June 1st, 2009

I buy a Japanese candy – Puccho Gummy” – and suddenly I’m on the Puccho website downloading awesome wallpapers and fascinated with their cute videos (though I have absolutely no idea what they’re saying).

I’m enamored with the idea of candy having personality and wearing Elvis wigs and muttering witty things in Japanese (watch the videos):
