That IS a Costanza reference if you’re wondering…

So I’ve been gone for a while, partially because I forgot my username and password, but also because I bought a Playstation 2. I got my wisdom teeth out and decided to get a used one to entertain myself for a few days, not knowing that by buying GTA San Andreas I was committing myself to 60+ hours of playing time to complete it 100%. I feel a lot like Jim Gaffigan, renting “Heat” for the first time and not being able to discuss it with any of his friends who saw it 15 years earlier. I’m a loser, I know, but I have no plans to buy a PS3 or GTA IV.

I don’t really have much to say about it, and I honestly never had sex with a hooker and then killed her to get my money back… I just liked to do the missions and fly helicopters around. I love the people that talk about that one thing that you can do in the game and use it as an excuse to say that the game is evil and immoral but who have absolutely no idea what else the game entails. They have no idea how complex the plot is or how star-studded the cast of characters is. At least in GTA you can choose whether or not to kill and rob people, try yelling at the TV the next time you rent “Goodfellas” and see if they will decide to drive a cab around or be a paramedic instead. If you want to hate GTA, hate it because it completely engulfs your life and turns you into a good-for-nothing lump on the couch. It’s digitized crack.

That’s not what I came back to talk about, though. I came back to talk about Bud Light. More specifically, “Drinkability.” I don’t know if you guys have these commercials in Canada, but if you don’t you’re lucky. I can’t even begin to describe how much they piss me off. And what’s worse? No one is doing anything about it. I would KILL to be an advertising executive for Coors or Miller so that I could UNLOAD on budweiser on a national stage. Admittedly, Coors is too busy making an incredibly annoying series of fake press conference commercials themselves, but I would love to see Miller come out with a new ad campaign. I can see it now: “The ‘potablitude’ of Miller light is far superior to the ‘drinkability’ of Bud Light due to ‘ingestation enhancers’ and an infusion of ‘gulposity.’ It’s fun to make up words, but we recommend investing in a decent tasting beer before spending all your money on an ad campaign.”

The Mac people already busted on PC’s for spending more money on their commercials than on fixing Vista, so the work is already done. Beer advertisers don’t even have to be original, just kind of be dicks. It’s not hard…. GRRRRRR.

BTW, I found this youtube video while I was looking for the Mac/PC commercial. Gave me a chuckle…
