Musing & Muted Monologues...

Trying to Make Sense of It All...

Tuesday, June 08, 2004

Am I the only one who hates that little fucker Thirst from the Sprite™ advertisement campaigns? He's freakin' annoying. Not only that, but he's a blatant rip- off of Chris Rock's Lil' Penny from the Nike™ advertisements in the mid 90's. I don't think that the dude who does Thirst's voice is even black, which is kinda like a non-native playing Tonto all those years on the Lone Ranger, or David Carradine playing an Asian guy on Kung- Fu...offensive. You're going to blatantly stereotype us...again...and get somebody else to do it? Either way, they can't win on that one, but it comes off as more foul when it's done that way.
PS- In case you're wondering why I keep putting the (™) symbol in my entry, it's because I can. No other reason than I'm a geek who knows the (extremely simple) html code to do that shit. Hey, I can also do the (°, ©, ®, ♦, ♥, ♠, ♣) symbols too. But I wouldn't be that pressed to do it it here, though. Now bored enough to do it...that's a whole different ball of wax. Sigh, I'm such a geek.

You know you still ♥ me, though.
