You know, I really, really love Above the Influence commercials, but that’s because I think they’re ridiculous and hilarious because they take themselves so seriously.
I love this commercial and others like it in part for the ridiculousness, but in part because… well, it’s satisfying to have someone officially state something like this. And Hilary Duff is hot.
more logey.
less tv.
imo.
I always thought she was more generic pretty than hot. Jane and I watched part of a made for TV movie with her in it last week. One phrase - acting classes, please.
Even though that top did look like a skirt, I’m not sure the level of insulting scales well in that example.
The level of insulting doesn’t scale well — but I don’t think it’s supposed to, really. It wouldn’t be much of a message if the people were vicious and insulting right back, I guess.
I mean, if it were me, I would have come up with something better than this, but it’s the thought that counts at this point.
I can get married in Connecticut now. Did you know that?
Okay, first off, it wasn’t a made for TV movie. It just happened to be shown on TV. It’s more of a teen romantic comedy, but I’m pretty sure it was in the theaters at some point. And Hilary’s acting is more geared toward her TV show over-the-top acting. I have confidence she’ll learn to tone it down as she goes on. Also, you have to consider all the other actors in the movie and it was an overall silly, unbelievable movie, so that kind of acting was encouraged.
All that aside, I liked it.
Anyway, when I started at my current job, I let it be known that I didn’t appreciate hearing “that’s gay” or “that’s retarded” or Jew in terms of “Jew you down,” “don’t Jew me,” etc. As a result, the guys went around for weeks calling everything a “gay, retarded Jew.”
Welcome to America, folks. Welcome to men who are really just teenage boys in slightly larger frames.
