chow fun

Happy Fried-day,

Food is good, especially when you're hungry. This fairly bizarro
commercial from Burger King suggests approaching things in a whole new
way.

<< Big mouth >>
How much food can a hamster fit into its cheeks? You'd be surprised, as
this video demonstrates. Worth sticking around to the end to see the

<< The shape of things to come >>
Focus groups are funny sometimes, and I wish I had the spare time to
give one of these companies some "feedback". This clever and amusing
advertising campaign from Shreddies in Canada (?) is a decent
self-referential spoof.

<< You want me to spell what? >>
As exciting television goes, spelling bees aren't more than a notch or
two above watching Congressional debates on CSPAN. They may lack the
grimaces of mixed-martial-arts contestants, but in recent years the

the word's language of origin. "Can you use that in sentence please?"
