I'm Appalled (Again)

There's a new Target commercial that bastardizes the beloved Beatles' "Hello, Goodbye" song but clever Ad Men that they are, when "Goodbye" is sung they flash the word "Goodbuy" on the screen. GIT IT??? . . . Good bye . . . goodbuy? sigh.

And what makes it even worse is that the tune is sung "buy" a chick who sounds like she's drug-addled and Stepford Wifeish.

I bet the ad agency Big Boys sat around a huge conference table simultaneously high-fiving and jacking each other off in a congratulatory flourish after that ad was approved by the Powers That Be.

AD agency male executives DO NOT JACK EACH OTHER OFF unless they are all gay which being an ad agency bussiness might be true but you should specify these are likely homo men messing with each others dicks . Real men would be grabbing the asses of the female secretaries as they whopped it up over the bastardized beatles song advert . allan

and then they'd be getting fired for sexual harassment--though they probably would for the first too.

Please, blame Michael Jackson--he's the one who sold the rights to the song...

yeah he needed the money to pay his lawyers to help him get off for molesting young boys.

Group jack-offs, that would be something. Maybe they do that when they get their golden parachutes, eh? oooofda!
