Give back that Filet-o-Fish....

I love the new Filet-O-Fish commercial that McDonalds has. It has a catchy tune, and it just funny. They took those annoying motion-censored, hang-on-the-wall, talking bass, and made them do something awesome. I think that this commercial is doing its job well. It gets the point across of what the product is. And, it does it in a stupid and funny way. One of the things that I think makes this a good commercial is the fact that they don't have the newest rapper eating a sandwich trying to sell their product. They have a redneck wall decoration and 2 hard-working blue collar men selling it. This puts it down on most peoples level. All in all, this commercial makes a point and gets to it quickly. Filet-O-Fish.

Fandom...

I am a fan of many things. I am a huge fan of only a few. LOST is one those. I have mentioned it many times before in previous blogs, so it may be old news. My Wednesdays revolve around the 60 minutes that fall between 9 and 10 pm. The guys on my floor know that there are a group of us that when LOST comes on, nothing gets in the of us watching it. There have been times when a yelling match will occur causing us to miss the first 5 minutes. One could say that I am a little obsessed with LOST. But I am not nearly as obsessed as the people in Trekkies, and people that follow Hairy Potter or Twilight. I hate to admit this, but when the latest Twilight book was released I was at the midnight release party at Borders. Not because I was buying the book, but because a friend was meeting his girlfriend there because she was buying it. The whole hour I was in there, I was making fun of everybody. They probably wanted to kill me, but I think they had it coming, they dressed up like characters from a book. Strange, I know. This is when fandom crosses that line into the obsessed categorie. My liking of LOST is normal. But when people go to book release parties and have their picture taken with a cardboard cutout of the main "stud" character of the book, that is obsessed.
