    But it will be a short election night, I predict.

    Not a TV commericial but a web ad. Why does this site think I want a Thai girlfriend? I'm not going to singles' sites, porn, or Thai websites.

    For those of you who loved Target's back to school ads last year (Shaun White Hoodies and Denim!) the dude is back again this year:



    (also, I am embarrassed that I just realized that that is Melissa McCarthy's husband, aka Air Marshall Jon from Bridesmaids)

    That commercial is no "Shaun White hoodies and denim!"

    Oh, they're spot on. Romney = Michael Corleone attending services for the kid, while SuperPacs funding attack ads = the Corleone buttonmen taking out the opposition with multibullet firepower.

    I know they are.

    Doesn't make them any less annoying.

    The 5-Hour Energy Sheriff is testing my patience.
    How long will the buzz from my coffee last? Long enough to throw it in your face and beat you down, old man.

    You don't talk to Bill Curry like that!

    It's not really Curry, is it? I've never seen the commercial.

    But if someone is paying Mr. No Personality to do a commercial, well ...

    No, it's actually the guy from Murphy Brown. James Horan.
    And an aside, but looking at his IMDB page the guy appears to be an ubernerd. Most of his credits from the past decade (and there's quite a few) are for video game voiceovers, and he met his wife at a Star Trek convention.

    The ads Ramada runs in Canada are cringe-worthy. Just awful stuff, would be enough to convince people NOT to stay there.
