Well, that sucks...

Ken Ober, host of arguably one of the greatest game shows ever, Remote Control, passed away this weekend at age 52.

He'd probably laugh at the fact that he could now be used as a question in his "Dead or Canadian?" category.

Aaaaand the list begins...

My annual Christmas boycott list is officially underway.

As you may remember, I have promised, for one year, to boycott any advertiser that twists the lyrics of any traditional holiday carol in order to sell something. I'm waiting for Garman to set up another ad for their GPS to the most irritating carol evar, "Carol of the Bells". In the mean time, the list begins with:

--Overstock.com, for turning Jingle Bells into a sales jingle. Oh-oh-oh, the Big Red O, will get no green from meeeeeee...
--Best Buy, trying to discourage people from acting like animals on Black Friday--commendable; doing it via twisting a Christmas carol, one year boycott.

To date, I have not seen a Christmas CD ad on TV. Either I have been extrememly fortunate, or MadAve is getting my memos.
