The stuffy old dudes in the "bankers' pen" have had their revenge: WaMu is dead and gone.
"Free checking for life." Just not your life.

Kill Them All
Eeuuwww. What can you say about a homoerotic ad where none of the guys are even slightly erotic?
These actors just looks nasty to me.
And the whole concept of having two strangers blowing bubbles in some naked guy's hotel tub is just creepy in general.
Besides, who sits in a tub in a hotel? I stand on a towel just to shower in one of those germ factories.

The Revenge of the Stuffy
The "WaMu" Guy.
Washington Mutual pushed the envelope as hard as they could on their financial products and services.
If WaMu's brass had run their bank the way that the stuffy old bankers in their "bankers' pen" used to, WaMu might not be as large a bank as they are now, but WaMu also would not be flirting with insolvency. WaMu was heavily into a type of mortgages called "option ARMs" and those mortgages are defaulting in huge numbers.
One might even argue that the reason why WaMu isn't splashed across the front pages today is because Lehman Brothers has failed, Merrill Lynch is being sold at a near fire sale price, and AIG Insurance is teetering on the edge of collapse. The market is hammering WaMu's stock nonetheless, there just isn't the publicity about it right now.
The stuffy old guys were right. They should throw the smart-ass punk into the lion's pen.

Kill. Nuclear Weapons are Authorized.
Pissing Calvin:
This character should be folded, mutilated, spindled, erased, shot, stabbed, strangled, poisoned and hit with a phaser set to "deep fat fry." Not only is this character offensive in its own right, it is blasphemous. Anyone who remembers the day-to-day genius of Bill Watterson's masterful comic strip ought to be deeply offended by every mouth-breather of a moron who has a "pissing Calvin" on his truck.
In a just world, it should be legal to throw a brick through the window of every vehicle that has a "pissing Calvin" on a window. If no bricks are handy, Molotov Cocktails should be permitted as viable alternatives.
Now this, this is genius at work:

Baby Back Barbecue Annoying
We borrowed "The Muppet Show" on dvd, and i really forgot how utterly annoying Miss Piggy was/is.
Between the violence and the jealousy and the threats, I found my sense of nostalgia overwhelmed with irritation.
And now I'm hungry for bacon.
(Plus, Miss Piggy and Britney Spears are suspiciously similar, Has anyone ever seen them together?)

Can We Buy a Hunting License For This Critter?
The AARP "Divided We Fail" critter
Let's get down to the truth of this matter: AARP is a lobbying group that was first formed in order to market shit for Colonial Penn Insurance. When the Clinton Administration tried to do something about health insurance, AARP led the charge to defeat their proposals. When the Bush Administration proposed the "Medicaid Part D" bit to pay oodles of money to insurance companies in exchange for piss-poor coverage of the pharmaceutical needs of senior citizens, a shitload of seniors recognized that it was a fuckover of both them and the Treasury and opposed it. AARP, however, was true to its main purpose of promoting the interests of insurance companies and was all for it.
The "Divided We Fail" campaign means that there is some way that the greedy bastards running AARP see a way to further enrich insurance companies. For it is clearly obvious by now that they don't give a flying fuck about the senior citizens in this country.
Fuck AARP. Shoot this critter and feed its rotting flesh to Tom DeLay.

Recycle This Car
Max, the talking VW, star of the latest VW ad campaign:
People who think that cars talk to them are either thoroughly nuts or are TV producers. I can't think of anybody who would go down to an auto showroom because a talking car told them to do so (and if I were a VW salesvermin, I'd be packing heat).
Drop this character into the crusher.

Need Directions to the Glue Factory
Two things in one, all right.
Part man and part horse's ass. And I'm not certain that the horse part is male.
This critter needs to go to the slaughterhouse.
