That new GE commercial is kindof creepy.
I'm not sure I understand the marketing strategy to tie your product in with the evil agents and "computers run the world" plot from The Matrix.
It has to be. The USD is taken in more places than any other currency.

Most rock band musicians in the 1980's looked like women. You just missed the decade

I'm thinking when we catch a terrorist we should use the judicial system of the their country of origin....
Because I would really like to see a good old fashioned stoning.
It would be awesome and we can Americanize it with commercials from Pepsi, Cheetos, and Go Daddy. We could do back stories of the criminal and the rock throwers and have the Rolling Stones do one of those weird montages of all their songs...In the weeks leading up to the stoning we can have a national draft where we can select the best throwers in the in the country and televise it on ESPN for 4 days.
I think it would be like the Superbowl meets the Coliseum.

By about 16 years. Once I overheard someone ask my boss if I was a guy or girl, I knew it was time to get rid of it.
I saw it for the first time this morning and thought to myself, "What the **** was that?"
It's creepy, alludes to some really weird **** that I don't want to think about, and is based on a movie that is from well over a decade ago at this point.
Probably not the greatest marketing strategy ever. However, the completeness of the spot, right down to the lollipop choice at the end was nice.

Best Youtube comment I saw on there:
*waits for Dr. Hannibal Lecter in a Olive Garden Ad*
I hadn't seen that. Tacky and dumb, but then I guess that means it just might work in their case.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this.
Not only that, but instead of just a matrix-like agent that would connote the idea they are masters of the code, they pick the agent that runs rogue and tries to overthrow both man and the machines. Horrible execution on a bad concept.
I can only imagine the Wachowskis laughing their butts off when they got the check for rights to use the matrix brand.
the drawers line got me.
At least I understand the logic behind this one - it's to get you to discuss it and hope it goes viral. See, we're doing it right now.

Exactly. And all with the scary Matrix horror movie music in the background while you're promoting your product?
All that commercial does is illogically make me somehow think that GE's computer intelligence healthcare products are freaking evil.
<---- Personally guarantees the spot gets pulled

Well my camera should arrive today which is great because the weather is amazing. Unfortunately 1. Who the hell knows what time it will get here and 2. I have to be here for it because the seller had them require a signature for it. So now I have to wait around for it. Hope it gets here early.
Also got a new fish for my tank today. It's acclimating now. From California to PA in one night. Hell of a trip that fish went on.

Actually I believe this fish was aquacultured, but I'm not sure. I try to get aquacultured livestock whenever possible, and only deal with places that know the origin of their fish and the capture methods used if the livestock is wild caught to make sure it is all done following regulations.

That is usually a good pairing with anything
Just ordered these jumbo size ice cube trays. Should make my bourbon look cooler if nothing else.
