The best small-business commercial ever?
Posted in: UncategorizedGood lord, there is nothing appropriate about this ad at all. The guy, who looks like my elementary-school principal, and his camera-shy wife can talk about filming weddings and costume parties all they want, but given the awkward cuts and muffled sound, they might want to try a different kind of movie business. (Though they’d have to watch out for George Putnam.) Unless the whole thing’s a joke, in which case they are geniuses. There’s a bit more info about Fred and Sharon here. Their Web site, sadly, is currently “offline.â€

Why did we invade Afghanistan with troops? Sending Simon Cowell would’ve been far more effective. Afghan Star—yes, that nation’s version of American Idol—has garnered millions of viewers and generated a fair share of controversy. Islamic clerics (predictably) have blasted the show as immoral. More to the point, many wonder how Lima Sahar (at right in the photo) could have placed among the final three contestants, given her questionable ability. She’s a member of the ethnic group often found backing the Taliban, and she’s also from Kandahar, one of the movement’s former bases of operation. Since viewers vote by text message, and certain factions in the region have been known to communicate exclusively by satellite phone, one can only speculate about the source of her support. (The DoD might want to triangulate during the show’s finale. You never know who might be tuning in.)
