The Big Bang Theory

Originally I was taking a break from posting until those daggone writers came back and there were some new episodes of one of my new favorite shows. But, I figured, that with a readership of 5 or so, my contribution to the protest was pretty minimal. It was either that or not shower. And well, after 12 hours, the better half ended that one.

So, back to my rants about whatever.

You know the new Target ads that are on TV? The ones featuring a Beatles song, and the lyrics; "I don't know why you say goodbuy, I say hello." (The specific words they intend are clarified later in their ad, with big red words of "goodbuy" and "hello"

HOW DOES THIS IDIOT STILL HAVE A JOB?????!?!!!!?!?!?!11111/??!?!?! They're saying in that ad, that they welcome you to shop there. Ok, that's fine, I'd hope any retailer would express that interest, but excuse me while I dissect the other half of that line. They say "I don't know why you say goodbuy." I personally agree. I don't know how Target stays in business. They sell the same general stuff that you can find at most big box retailers. They have some exclusive product lines, and their own store brand, like many others. They also have prices considerably higher than the big boxes like Meijer and Wally World. I find that a lot of their personal care products are closer to CVS/Walgreens/WrongRite-Aid than they are to the discount retailers we've grown close to, and love and hate at the same time. (I mean really, is there any reason that Meijer can't have anything on their shelves on a Saturday, and have you ever been in a clean wally world?).

SO, anyway, back to Target. I don't know why you say goodbuy. I don't know why you like our prices. But if you're stupid and you like our prices, we say hello. Otherwise. We're not targeting you with our ads. We're after stupid money.

And the Beatles? What's up with that? Who in their right mind sold the rights to use Hello Goodbye to Target??!!?! Oh yeah, Sony & Michael Jackson own them. Sony, the company that invents crummy things which there are already outstanding products on the market, products function better and offer more features than their crap, but lock you into using them in their proprietary products and a guy (and I use that term loosely) who gives Jesus Juice to minors, and now lives in the middle of the stinking desert.

Has anyone thought about how bright an idea it was for the skin-bleaching sensation once known as the Thriller, to move to the middle of the desert, in a country that would punish pedophiles with death. Then hold the trial. The guy who's so sensitive to sun and pollutants, moved to the middle of the desert, and gets major trade winds blowing God only knows what in. Smart dude.

This weekend we're going rock-and-bowling. It's gonna be so rad. I'm gonna wear neon colors. Just don't tell my wife.
