Shame Wow. It's so sad when our infomercial heroes fall from grace. You following this camera guy? Say it ain't so, Vince. Say it ain't so.

Coke Zero demonstates deep understanding of basketball glory.

It would seem the magnificent bastards at W+K, sorry CP+B, do, in fact, understand the glory of college basketball. With apologies to our MU fans, Rock Chalk.

No matter how many times they change the logo, change the name or try to kill the Colonel, you just can't keep the old Southern Gentleman down. In fact, you can't even toss him in a Japanese river to get rid of him. Timeless advertising icon? For sure. Terminator? Perhaps. From MSNBC.

Coen Brothers harness awesome power of sarcasm.

Joel and Ethan Coen, among my favorite filmmakers working today, do not believe in the notion of clean coal that Obama and lots of other politicos have been espousing the past couple of years. How do I know? This spot tells me. And how much do I love this piece of copy,"Clean Coal harnesses the awesome power of the word clean."? A lot.

4 Reasons I Love this new Filet o' Fish Spot

1. It brings back Billy the Talking Bass from a few years ago. Remember, he sang "Take me to the river"? That's good stuff.

2. I love McD's Filet o' Fish. I love the taste, the name, the o'  and pairing it with a cheap hamburger for a delicious drive thru Surf and Turf.

3. I love this song. It's not a jingle, it's a song. It advances the plot and by allowing itself to be so bad it becomes good.

4. I also love the fact that as much as I love it, others hate it.

Happy Monday.
