Commercial Idea #1

Scene: A guy walking through the cracker aisle at a grocery store. He stops a clerk and asks for CHEEZ-ITS. The clerk hands him CHEESE-NIPS. The customer proceeds to pummel the clerk with his shopping basket. Close-up on the customer's face. As blood splatters across his brow, he yells "NIP THIS!" Cut to the Cheez-Its logo, and the words "Cheese Nips? Go fuck yourself."

I should be an advertising executive.

Anyone want to film this with me?

Interesting

Shell Oil is in a legal battle right now for murder. I've been following the case on and off--there is a lot of rhetoric on each side that is suspect at times--but it's been a fairly interesting case. And one whose ending we can probably all predict. Anyway, here's a quick mini-documentary about the circumstances of the murder. If you have 8 minutes, please check it out.
