Six Videogames That Spawned Unhealthy Foods
If you want to know about Sonic Fruit Roll-Ups and other horrors, I have a Topless Robot article for you.
North Koreans Mourn The Loss of Bob Saget
Like many people I saw the tragically ridiculous footage of Kim Jong Il’s funeral and thought “Wow.” So, I’ve replaced Kim Jong Il with the very noble Bob Saget.
Sickest Stories
If you are in Phoenix on Friday the 25th, I will be doing the The Sickest F***ing Stories I Ever Heard show at The Torch Theatre. Come on by and hear me talk about things I shouldn’t – and not be able to play poker.
Jerks in Discourse
So, Coffee Jerks was used as an example of television advertising in an article in The Atlantic titled “Are TV Ads Getting More Sexist?” I think it’s a pretty appropriate use of the film, considering the subject. I also kinda wish I would get attributed more for this, but hey, they link to the video, which lets more people see it, so I’m completely fine with that.
Also, I do like the top rated comments on YouTube:

You realize the commercials were targeting the wives specifically? They would be the ones to go to the grocer, buy a particular coffee brand, and make it for their husbands each day. So the coffee company made commercials to make the wife feel like crap about her coffee-making, then state that their brand would make better coffee and bring their self-esteem back up. The commercial husbands were faux-jerks, but the coffee company was the real jerk.

“Honey, your coffee always tastes like piss!”
“Oh, does it, dear? I can’t imagine why.”

Updated Films
I updated my films page, since I figured that Coffee Jerks is now on just about every video site on the planet that I may as well put it on my own personal web page as well.
Also fixed the links for other videos, which nobody cares about.
That’s One Fine Cup of Coffee
I have a new article up about ways to get caffeine into you.
On a related note, I have reached the end of my Twin Peaks blog with Fire Walk With Me. Wow. That was a long journey. More posts to come on Twin Peaks, some reflection, some things I found out, but the episode watching is DONE.
Yes, people like “Jerks”
Well, uh….suddenly a lot of people have taken an interest in this video:
Thanks! More importantly, you should thank The Prelinger Archives where all this fine footage came from.
Emerson, Lake and Laura Palmer
Oh, darn, I should have had THAT be the title of my Twin Peaks blog.
Anyway, I’ve now come back to updating said blog after over a month of not doing so. Firstly because I wanted to finish watching through the series before making any more posts. I found as I went along there were too many people who would excitedly want to talk to me about the series and accidentally spoil something.
Secondly…it just takes a lot of time to watch these episodes and blog about them. I write as I watch. Usually I have to stop mid-episode to catch up on what I just saw and write about it. Then I add images and revise what I wrote. So, a one-hour episode can end up taking two hours of my time.
Thirdly, it’s my little project which very few people are reading so, I can do what I want. I could have just stopped entirely or started writing “meow meow meow” instead of actual words for each post.
Just thought you few who read this should know.
