Today is my day off, and it is supposed to be a beautiful day out there. We are talking high temps in the mid 70’s and that warm southerly breeze, all that good shit. Then I make the mistake of looking at the extended forecast and find out that on Saturday it is going to snow. Ok now, Saturday is May 1st. I was always told while growing up that April showers brought May flowers, but nobody ever fucking told me what brought May snow. If I had known what it was, perhaps I could have prevented it. Unfortunately I was unable to and now we are going to suffer some snow over the weekend; in May. Somebody send me a ticket to someplace where it’s warm and it doesn’t snow.
Have you ever noticed that people that are concerned with animal rights are usually only concerned with the cute animals? You can kill as many mice as you want but club one baby seal and it’s on. Case in point is Ford’s overseas ads for their Sportka. They have this car doing evil things and then they say it’s the Ka’s Evil Twin. I’ve got both of the commercials on my hard drive for my viewing pleasure so I went out to the net to see who has seen these and if there are possibly more. As far as I can tell there are two different spots, both of which I have. The first is a bird sitting in a tree and it flies down and the hood pops open and kills the bird. Well, this was well recieved by people, most thought it was hilarious. The second has a orange tabby cat running around and the sunroof opens on the car so the cat jumps up there and sticks its head in and then the sunroof closes, kitty’s head comes off and the limp body slides down the car. People didn’t seem to like this one very well. Most of what I read was “I have a cat and that isn’t verry funny” and shit like that. Well you know what, I have a cat as well and I thought it was funny. I hope they continue with more ads like this. You know, if I was on that ad agency I would have the Ka approach a competitors vehicle from behind and go at it doggy style. Of course, maybe that’s why I don’t have a job at an ad agency.
