My sister and I like to think of FiberOne bars as super-yummy-chewy-chocolate-chip granola bars that just HAPPEN to have 35% of your daily fiber intake because they’re made up of FiberOne cereal.  FiberOne on the other hand likes to tell you that they’re a super-high-fiber-pooping-made-easier granola bar that just HAPPENS to taste good. 

Which brings me to my point, watching this commercial of a man donning silly disguises to get more free samples of FiberOne Bars makes it impossible not to think of  the shot just after this commercial where “Sneaky Free Samples” Guy has to jump out of the check out line and race home to use the bathroom where in he’ll realize what a bad idea it is to wear lederhosen on a day when you’re about to have violent diarrhea…ya know because he just ate 140% of his daily fiber intake in about 90 seconds.

Tom Paxton - Forest Lawn

In honor of Michael Jackson’s burial today, please enjoy this charming folksy tune.

I want to go simply when I go

And they’ll give me a simple funeral there, I know.  

With a casket lined with fleece

And fireworks spelling out “Rest.  In.  Peace.” 

Oh take me when I’m gone

to Forest Lawn

Remember when this was the sound of the modern feminist woman?  

Go Fresh by Yelle (Dove Marketing Campaign)

Umm, has Peggy Olson time travelled to 2009 moved to France and set up her own advertising agency?  Because this French Dove ad/music video is sheer brilliance.  Granted I would buy pretty much anything sold in a commercial to Yelle’s super fun girlie electro poppy beats, but nothing has made me want to “campaign for real beauty” more than this commercial.  

This is where I would say “bravo” in French, but I don’t know how.  So Bravo, Dove!

Seeing promos and ads for ABC’s Flashfoward, saddens me.  First, It makes me think of Disney’s Flash Forward and I get all excited.  ”New episodes of Flash Forward that’s awesome!” But, then I remember it’s for a new show about blah-blah-blah-high concept-something, and I get bummed.  I seriously doubt I’ll tune in, it will only make me wish I was watching the version with the space between Flash and Forward.  

If you’ve never seen it, I believe Flash Forward is Ben Foster’s first acting role.  It’s definitely worth trying to track down on Netflix and popping in before conking out after a long day of work.  It’s the perfect mid-90s awkward tween show.   

Enjoy the opening credits above

Every time I see a billboard or bus ad for Tyler Perry’s new movie I Can Do Bad All By Myself I hear the echoing of the lyric from early 00’s hit “No More” by 3LW.  

Am I alone in this?   

In case you’ve missed it,

THERE’S A NEW POP WAFFLE!!!

Okay, FOX promos ya got me.  I’m totally excited for Glee this fall.  But just so you know, in my head I’ll be imaginining that they’re a bunch of misfits and outcasts who have bonded together over their love of 90s hip hop dance so that I can better relate to the show.
