#85 - Isn't pretty much everything in these threads opinions? I just chose to (kind of) side with an unpopular one here this time.

I was kind of joking about "deserving it" (though I do think the necklace is ugly). Sorry that I wasn't clear on that.

She deserves it for wearing such ugly jewelry.

I know someone above was disemvowelled for suggesting it, but I also believe that her choice of jewelry to wear was to provoke a possible story (probably for her blog or something).

What the hell? What kind of radio station would air such an inflammatory ad?

"Here, hold these things while you jog in place." That will get them off the couch.

Thanks for the heads up on an ad I'll see at least a hundred times while it runs on TV.

I guess I just don't 'get' posting TV ads on the web.

Not to nitpick, but that is clearly not aluminum or copper rod - it is tube. If someone goes to the hardware store and says, "I need some half-inch copper rod", they are not going to give you the stuff in the video.

I just hope Chuck Corp doesn't mark them up too much.

Well, "Chuck Corp" = Nike, so take a guess as to what they're gonna do.

I also wore chucks for the last 20 or so years, but I'm on my last pair of black hi-tops that I bought prior to the Nike buyout. I like chucks and all, but not enough to buy nike products. Too bad because I haven't found a suitable replacement. I would go for the blackspots, but I don't like low-tops, and the hi-tops are to eccentric looking for my taste. There were some chuck ripoffs available thru Mother Jones at one time, but they only had red hi-tops, and I don't do red either.

I wonder what it would be like to do a stuntman fall into a dumpster full of fortune cookies? You know, maybe 10-15 feet off the ground. I bet it would be a decent cushion.
