For a campaign to soften the image of Google knowing every single thing there is know about us Google chooses a harmless, hand-drawn figure to make it all seem so gentle, easy, painless.  

I mean take a look at this guy.  Standing on two chair legs, arms drawn like fat noodles ...

...and a face only a search and information technology giant could love:

The message being, "You're a harmless 2-dimensional drawing of a person to us that we could just as easily smudge out of existence.  And, by the way, we know everything about you.  But you're cute!"

From Madness Museum Fan, Doug Wiley Comedian (i think his last name is really "Wiley" though), comes this fine example of oxymoronic copy headlines.  

There is a whole discussion of this on Facebook where Doug first posted this.  The gist of the the discussion (minus biblical references) is that bacon is sold raw, like sushi.  People don't eat bacon raw like sushi or they get trichinosis or tapeworms or something.  

So they cook it.  Themselves.  Traditionally.

...but if you just wanna waste time, you can have fun ripping apart answers.com.  

You'll note I posted the question, "What Is the point?" just to see what happens.

I also got related questions like these..."what dosage of Allegra can you give to your chihuahua" and "How do you make a citrus fruit battery."

Four women sitting around a computer looking at pictures of Brad Pitt's abs is NOT productive.  And what exactly did the photographer say to make these women get so excited?

I can work with the Crisp, Clean, No Caffeine rhyming stuff, but the additional "It's Good To Be You?"  Sounds like the tagline for a psychotherapist specializing in schizophrenia.

So the story goes, Doctor Copper invested in metals and never even wasted his time getting his M.D.  He just thought it sounded cool  to have Doctor in front of his name, because everybody trusts a Doctor.  Even a Doctor of Copper with no degree...he has the lab coat.

So the story goes, James T. Kracker finally got his M.D., opened a practice and nobody patients would see him because of his name,   Doctor Kracker, just scared a lot of people off.  So he did the next best thing.  Started a cracker company.

A late night commercial for the endless pool by Endless Pools, Inc. has an 800# to call for a "Free Idea Kit."  What is the idea?  I want a pool or I don't want a pool.  Do I need a kit to give me ideas about what a pool is for?  

I guess you can use it as storage in the wintertime for all your pool equipment.
