How The West Wasn't Won
Just loved this. Via the man I voted for for Los Angeles mayor, Walter Moore:


(Can't argue with craggily handsome men engaging in a little Sunday pussy-chasing, now can you?)

I've always liked that commercial better since it came over 1984 and Mean Joe Green.

Very good commercial. Makes me want to see City Slickers again.

My all time favorite (NSFW):

Cute...thanks.

The cowboy look worked for me this past week. At our monthly "First Thursday" art walk, an attractive woman said to me, "I don't see many guys in Seattle wearing cowboy boots", (I had on my favorite pair, from a store in Durango, Colorado) we had a nice chat, and by the end of our conversation I had her phone number and email address. She said she moved here recently after getting divorced in Austin. Unfortunately, she seems quite a bit older but if she just got divorced she's probably not looking for anything serious anyway so we might have a fun little fling.

Ah, that's the life of an IT guy: herding cats. Been there. Done that. Got the scars.

Great commercial...thanks Eric.

According to this BizReport piece...

Michael Arrington, one of the most influential people on the internet as claimed by the Forbes and Wired magazines, put it this way - "quite simply the best commercial ever made". Others viciously disagree. The ad has been called offensive and brainless by a female blogger on bitchbuzz while another male blogger added that such "sexist ads cheapen men as well as women."

Personally, I enjoy being cheapened from time to time.

Great spot.

Oh, and I'm sure it offends many people (I don't want to know any of them), but that's one smart commercial.

Seriously, who the fuck could find that offensive?

Robert at February 5, 2012 3:08 PM

Meow, meow, meow, meow....

Walter Moore at February 5, 2012 5:39 PM

Well, how timely, I was just talking to my boyfriend about this commercial today.

I have always found it hilarious!

I like that commercial - took an old computer geek saying and made it a funny ad.

Now if they can make one about computers and doing surgery on oneself.

John Paulson at February 5, 2012 8:01 PM

That was cute. What was the old computer geek saying (forgive me; I'm lovingly referred to as a techno-tard)?

Meloni at February 6, 2012 2:19 PM

I think the commercial is incomplete. Missing the company name.
