Boy, Did We Need That

On how many levels was today's Cincinnati Bengals win important? Lots. First, a win over a quality team for the first time in 2005. Second, finally beating the hated Steelers. After all, to be the man, you have to beat the man. Whoo! Third, the team now holds it's destiny in it's own hands, especially if they can beat the Browns next week. I think the magic number would only be one in that case. Fourth, the franchise guarentees it's first winning season in 15 years. Congratulations, Detroit. You are now the new Siberia of the NFL.

Non-football related: Quite a trend where the major selling point of new DVDs is seeing a pair of Jessicas in their underwear. In a scene that wasn't really used to promote the theatrical release, you see Jessica Alba, the Invisible Woman, turning her clothes invisible. And the commerciall just kind of lingers there. Also, the Dukes of Hazard DVD apparently is unrated. I'm guessing that because they mentioned it no less than three times in ten seconds. The shots of Jessica Simpson backed up these claims, although you know they still won't show nothin' good. Also, I found it strange that during CBS's constant plugging for the Victoria Secret's Fashion Show that they took up time that they could be showing women in lingerie, they snuck in a shot of Ricky Martin. If you're gonna pander to men, you might as well do it right.

Speaking of commercials, that dumbass ad for diamonds really doesn't have a lot of impact since you showed the "heartwarming conclusion" a month ago. It made no sense then because you hadn't aired the setup. So, that emotional impact really wasn't there. Either time. And I didn't need to go to your web site to see the surprise ending. You already showed it to me. Nice job. Asshats.

"Welcome to Los Angeles."
