Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
I keep seeing this young lady turning up in ad banners, and I think it’s for this Blackberry device.
The messages ambushing me from all directions about this cute-as-a-button young girl, want to make sure I know that she relies in all kinds of ways on her device. But I still don’t have a good understanding of what exactly it is that she does.
This is not an isolated case, either. I saw something like this on the company portal. Pulchritudinous, energetic, female and young…started her own business…does something vague and undefined with “social networking for societal change” and there are no details about that, but zowee, would her business ever be dead if she didn’t have her laptop.
I’ve met people who are savvy enough to catch a brief overview of what a wonder-gadget can do, and then put in place an effective vision for starting a business. Some of them think I’m in that camp…well…if these ads are aimed at people who possess that unique gift, you know, I think such a competent mind could handle details about what’s being done with the device. I mean, get specific. So I can see what’s superior about this brand versus that brand…why a business, such as this, could never ever rely on Brand X. Shouldn’t the advertisers be in a big hurry to tell us? Isn’t that an essential part of the message?

Looks like she organizes real tours for YouTube artists.
Yeah, mine’d be a real short show. 😉
Of course, in commercials they want to be as vague and general as possible so the viewer can see her/himself in her shoes.
Ouch. On second thought, her shoes might hurt me.
