The Deion Sanders Hot Dog Express

“When I took that first initial bite, there was a great big pop and a burst of juices rushed into my mouth. And it was delicious!”

For everything that the internet is good for, it is UNACCEPTABLE that there is not a better quality version of this commercial online.

“ Was that even covered in the package? I don’t know. Yay. Health Care, I guess. „

“ It’s no secret that Sting is a serious man, so it’s only logical that his holiday album — his first new music since the Police reunion, not that it really matters — is a serious endeavor, thank you. No niceties for him, no comforts of carols; he favors formal over familiar, writing madrigals, not ditties. It is music made by someone who lives in a castle, which isn’t necessarily such a bad thing: the austerity is genuine, not affected, and the cerebral nature of the album is fascinating, albeit mildly so, as this is as sleepy as it is thoughtful. And it’s that thoughtfulness that does distinguish If on a Winter’s Night…; no other Christmas album exists in the head like this. It’s a holiday album for people who have never wanted to hear a holiday album, let alone own one. „

I was expecting slightly more vitriol in a 1.5 star review.

“ I like late-period Rivers Cuomo because he’s basically like Martin Short in Clifford trying to make faces like a “human boy.” He is a deeply bizarre man who is going far out of his way to be “normal” and make music for “normal” people, but his attempts at banality are so affected and deliberately dumb that he comes off seeming much weirder than he would if he was writing total nonsense. The lyrics and music on Raditude are all signification and no meaning, and push the willful vacuity of his last few albums to an absurd extreme…This sort of thing can only work with a glassy-eyed, poker-faced commitment to ridiculousness, and that’s certainly in evidence on “The Girl Got Hot,” a cheery pop tune that comes across like a long-lost collaboration between Gary Glitter and The Gas Station Dogs. „

Uhh, thanks Roger Ebert?

(On a side note, I still think American Pie is pretty funny and I actually consider it to be kind of underrated at this point just because people can’t not associate it with all the horrible teen comedies that followed)
