But you don't want to know, you take much more than I'd ever ask for

Things that I'm happy about:

1. My sister being home from Arizona for a week.
2. Having the 4th off.
3. The new Keane album.
4. That Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties has made less than $20 million domestically so far, meaning there's a decent chance they won't make a third. (Side note: How on Earth did they get Bill Murray to do the voice for that movie again? Even Jennifer Love Hewitt was smart enough to stay away from this one.)

When at work, we usually listen to Oldies radio because the songs are almost always good and they don't repeat during the day (although they play the same songs day after day, so that gets a bit annoying). Anyway, there are a few commercials on there that stand out to me whenever I hear them:

A. The first is for the town of Pine River, about 30 minutes of Brainerd with like 500 people. The slogan is, "Pine River: Still a real town!" And they say it all excited and crap. I'm glad they remind me that they're real though, because most of the time I just think Pine River's a myth, some Lake Wobegon of central Minnesota. Er something.

B. Stellas list.com is a local website where some chick named Stella recommends everything from dates to bras to houses. It's quite ridiculous for several reasons:
1. No one in northern Minnesota is named Stella. A good Scandinavian just wouldn't do such a thing.
2. The woman basically gets her money from the site by advertising stores in the area to unsuspecting women. And I was just the 11,977th visitor to the site, so thats quite a few of them.
3. Stella does her own radio ads, and she has the thickest Minnesota accent I've heard in a while. She says "The search is oh-ver", and I laugh every time.
4. They have this other ad that parodies "We didn't start the Fire", and is possibly the worst case of trying too hard I've heard in radio. Straight up.

C. The stupid people at Mentadent have a campaign going right now that centers around the question "Are you a teeth people?" I cringe every time I hear this ad, because it makes no sense: they could've said "Are you a teeth person?" and I understand. Maybe even address to a larger audience and ask "are you teeth people?" But no, they did some lame hybrid of the two and came up with "Are you a teeth people?". Real lame guys.

With that, I'm off to bed, as I have work and a wedding tomorrow. Loads of fun had by all.
