Nathan Alexander,
I like your criticism of the DiGiorno commercial except for the last
sentence. It reads, "What are you supposed to answer to 'Who delivered?' I
would have said 'Some loser in a hatchback.'" It's fine to criticize stupid
TV commercials in the brilliant and hilarious way you have throughout your
site, but to slam hard-working employees is quite another thing. Please
change the last sentence so as to not insult pizza delivery drivers. We are
not losers and most of us drive better cars than a hatchback.
It's appalling that people want pizza delivery and don't respect the
service.

Do you remember that jenga song that starts like this:
Jenga, Jenga, jajaja jeng... You take a block from the bottom and you put it on top, you take a block from the middle and you put it on top...
If you know the rest, could you get back to me?
Thanx

Hello! I was wondering what you thought
about Taco Bell's zesty commercials. I personally prefer the
one when the guys are finding different ways to use the word
zesty.
Like the call waiting thing. Well, you seem to know a lot about commercials
and I was wondering if you knew where I could find the audio
of that commercial or the actual
commercial. It would mean a lot to me if I could. Thanks!

You hate me

From: Bob Clendenin
Subj: You Hate Me


I'm the guy with the clicker in the Pepsi One spot.
At first I was offended when I saw that I made your hit list, but then I got
over it. I remember thinking how much I disliked the ad myself when it first
aired during the Super Bowl.
 
When we filmed it, the music they used was Curtis
Mayfield ('Superfly' and some other track). I just assumed this would be the
music in the actual spot. Then it airs and that stupid ass Bad Boys song is
playing. What the fuck, over? I remember at least one other ad airing around
that time with Curtis Mayfield, maybe they ran into legal problems.
 
My agent (and who believes agents) said later that
the spot was pulled after a short time because Cuba hated it. Who
knows.
 
Anyway, your site is great and you have a great
gift in writing style.
 
Good luck with everything.
