Come get your Star Wars 6 movie set, containing the theatrical cut, the original movie premier audio version, the Special Edition, the DVD version, the Blu-ray version, and The Force Awakens.

Actually the smartest marketing move because a trillion nerds including me would buy a six movie set if it had a competent version of the theatrical cut.

Anyone have a good contact in the DNC marketing arm? I can think of some memes I'd like to...take care of.

I think it's for first dates, so you can say "oh no I got it", and then rummage around in your tiny purse with one figure before saying" ...oh dear I seem to have left my wallet at home".

Go all in, insist that you pay, then pull out a tiny wallet and credit card replica, only to act confusedly offended and demand that they "run it again" when the payment doesn't go though.

Oh sure, I have no issues with the actual intended use for a lot of that stuff. It's just that the manufacturers could hardly advertise it in a more laughably stupid manner if they tried.

Is it... is it IBS? :ohdear:

Nine out of ten doctors agree, blended cabbage is the only cure for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Sadly, IBS sufferers commonly run out of time to sledgehammer their cabbage because they need to poop so much. [man drops half-crushed cabbage and dashes for toilet] "There has to be a better way!"

I also remember some adult at the time (I want to say one of my aunts) claiming that it was because they weren't using "real" chicken, but some kinda artificial lab-grown chicken muscle and so they weren't legally allowed to call it "chicken" any more.

God only knows where she got that idea, but little baby me swallowed it hook line and sinker.

That was all over the place, I remember it too but without ever hearing any particular source. I always wondered what the predecessor to facebook and fw:fw:fw conspiracy emails was for originating that stuff, maybe Coast to Coast or some other dumb call-in radio show.

Colorado (particularly Denver and Boulder) is absolutely lousy with subarus. They're like a full 1/3 of the cars I see on the road. So, yeah.

I was not really consciously aware of Subarus until the first time I visited Boulder and wondered, "why is every other car the same little hatchback wagon"

Andrew Lloyd Webber is perhaps the person least capable of making big movies that's nonetheless allowed to make big movies.

I like to think everyone got confused and thought they were making Paul F. Tompkins' Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats as some sort of meta-production.

I dunno about the rest of y'all, but lately I keep getting these disgusting ads about earwax removal. No idea why, I haven't Googled or used Gmail for anything remotely resembling that, I never actually talk on my phone, and don't have Alexa or anything like that. I just got one on Wunderground, the weather site I trust. I get them on a stupid webcomic I read daily, too. I'm used to getting the occasional icky ad if I go over to WebMD or something, but lately they just keep showing up everywhere, ime.

I use a fresh browser pretty often at work, and the amount of earwax/pimple ads on some news sites is just insane. It definitely goes in cycles too, like I instantly know I'm in for a week of this cyst video trying to lure me in if I can't get an adblocker working on it.
