Hey, Wanna Be My Beauty Partner

So, a looong time ago, there were but a few official sponsors of just a few events: the Olympics and the Super Bowl.  Now we've got the official sponsor of beauty for Valentine's Day.  Ir's bad enough that they've titled a movie after a holiday and then made it seem like they own the day.  Then they actually took beauty, something were the original official sponsors back in 400 BC, and co-opted that too.

Next up, IMAX 3D, the Official Sponsor of Reality.

Adult Pretzels

There really is nothing "adult" about these pretzels.  In fact, I'm feeling mighty immature making fun of this.  But I mean, c'mon!  Nutzels and Rods???  Remind me to use this one when I present The Museum of Marketing Madness to high school boys.

You need a job? Or a Nose Job?

In this exchange on Gmail with someone about work and using the words employment, the Highly Intelligent Google Email Scanners figured we might just be interested in a rhinoplasty or picking locks.

So the logic goes: If you're looking for a job, you might need some plastic surgery so you look better.  And, if you're not making any money unemployed, you might want to know how to pick locks and steal money. 

Makes perfect sense!

I Hope The Knuckle Headquarters Are Nicer Than This

Nine assorted exhaust elbows on a rack does not deserve the moniker "headquarters."

Frankly, I don't know what an Elbow Headquarters would look like, but it's not this.
