Joanna Newsom in Victoria's Secret Commerical

Joanna Newsom's song, Sprout and the Bean, is featured in this Vicky commercial. It is the most marketable, or "user-friendly" song, in my opinion, but they still didn't include her voice in the ad. Which, I don't blame them, because I don't think it's quite conventional enough for a pair of pastel bra and panties.
Either way, it's still pretty. and I'm glad she's finally getting some mainstream recognition for her amazing harp skillz.



Sprout and the Bean can also be heard in the movie Strangers with Liv Tyler. t

BY THE WAY IF ANYONE NEEDS A COMMERICAL/AD WRITER, PLEASE HIRE ME INSTEAD OF THESE IDIOTS YOU'VE BEEN PICKING LATELY.
I can't stand the music, I really can't. And I think if I see another chemistry.com or Wal-Mart, or foreclosure or Glade candle commercial, I'm going to throw uppppp.
What happened to those Captain Morgan, or the Jack Link commercials. I even miss those Comcast ones, because the Brighthouse commercials SUCK.

Alright....

esurance commercials

Stupid San Francisco Green-Economy Hippie Company.
I hate those stupid commercials I could draw them myself.

still suave

so smooth.

Commercials

You know, I've been watching a lot of TV, and I realized I actually enjoy many of the commercials. The reason I like them, though, is because they piss me off. But I guess it's in a good way. I can't help but wonder what the hell these people in advertising are, and why they can make commercials and I can't!
Seriously, my commercials would be a little better than theirs, I think.
Of course, there are some that I like just because I like them, they entertain me, for some reason.
There are commercials I can't stand, though, like Wal-Mart ones, or ones about cars.

Here are some of the commercials I like:
1)Brighthouse commercials
--the ones where they're showing all these happy families in their houses enjoying the cable services. I just think about how funny it is that there are people who have to act it out. I mean, they just walk around smiling. AWKWARD.
--asterisk hunting. WTF?
2) that reminds me, comcast commercials were pretty good, too.
3) I must be getting old, because there was this Kay Jeweler ad where some guy proposes to her, and I was just like, awww, that's SOOO cute, and I got all teary eyed. But yeah, I thought it was sweet!
4) Those Dyson vacuum commercials, with the scientist inventor guy with a British accent explain his state of the art, technologically-advanced vacuum cleaner. I don't have much an opinion of it, but I love the way they make it seem like it is the most posh piece of plastic ever.
5( the Nikon ones with Ashton Kutcher. Just because I love Ashton Kutcher. TO THIS DAY.
6) The tractor supply store, whose slogan is "The stuff you need out here."
Out WHERE, exactly? This is just Florida. I mean, I haven't seen very many tractors, but I guess I do live in the more populated area of the county. Either way, it showed a woman trying on cowboy boots with a real serious look on her face, and then her husband came up with a pair of cowboy boots for himself and smiled down at her, and he smiled, too. Pretty weird.

I'd write more, but I can't really think of any, and there's a special on the History channel of Nostradamus and why not, I'd rather watch that than write this.
Apparently, he predicted September 11th, the Kennedy assassinations, and the rise of Nazi Germany!
They also have Penn and Teller as one set of guests that they interview about the subject. What do THEY know about Nostradamus?
Hmm
I'll get back to you on this one later...

time to start this up again

I've got people to impress.

So today I was going through Reader's Digest, kind of in a bored, self-pitying sort of way, like UHH THERE'S NOTHING TO DO I GUESS I JUST HAVE TO SUCCUMB TO THIS READER'S DIGEST. Because really...I don't know many people under thirty who give a shit.
But the point of my story is ad campaigns, and how they all suck. First of all, I take back my original skepticism about the Digest, because apparently it's a lot more interesting than I had expected it to be. There was an article about this Rembrandt painting heist told from the point of view from the copper who got it back. Awesome. But then it trickled off into a section that should say DIABETICS ONLY and an article about how to raise kind children, which is something I obviously am not concerned about at the moment. But in between all this, I came across a Dove, I'm assuming shampoo, ad. It shows some lady with nice hair, and it says, "Inner beauty makes your outside glow."
How disgusting is that.
I mean, apparently the thing with beauty ads now is to abandon the idea that we actually NEED their product, because we are beautiful on our own. As a matter of fact, we are SO beautiful that we need to use products that are reserved only for beautiful people, such as Dove, L'oreal, and Jenny Craig. I didn't understand it at all. Nothing about the ad made me remotely interested in their product. They didn't give me any reason to buy it. I think they are trying to convince people that they are a nice company with a bunch of nice people working there who are willing to compliment you for no reason, even though you might be reading this ad being fat and toothless, and for that reason alone we should become patrons of the company, regardless of what we are selling you, or whether you need it or not.
Where is the old-fashion strategy of, "This will make you beautiful, don't you want to be beautiful like this unrealistically beautiful model here?" I mean, I really think that's a lot more effective. It's one step away from saying, "You're not good enough", and people, especially women, definitely respond to that and are always ready to make themselves into something their not.
I wish the Dove company wasn't going to sell out to this new hippie self love bullshit and would go back to promoting fake faces and anorexia.
