KMART's 'Show Your Joe' Commercial
American retailer KMART is taking some heat for their new Joe Boxer Holiday commercial.KMART’s recent commercials have been some of my favourites. In radio school you are forced into copy-writing classes to learn the art of writing great commercials and the strategies behind good creative writing. Naturally I fell in love with KMART’s ‘Ship My Pants’ commercial (below) the first time I saw it, every time I watch it I still lose it laughing at the old man’s line, “I just shipped my bed.” Seriously, it is up there with the panda cheese commercials (also below).
This holiday season KMART has released a new commercial for
Joe Boxer boxers with a string of hunky men performing ‘jingle bells’ like
never before and I love it! Seriously, I think it is enough to warrant a KMART
comeback for all us Canadians who will be forced to sit around waiting for this
gem of an American commercial to come on American channels feeds. Not because
it is sexy, actually the more I think about it the less attractive I find all
the studs in the video, but because it is funny. Yes, I understand why some people
are offended by video and even why people think it is in bad taste but it beats
the hell out of all those Cellino & Barnes and University of Phoenix ads we
are forced to watch all the time through American cable channels.
What do you think? Good fun? Should Vicky’s ‘Angels’ be the
only holiday show offs on tv?
I am amazed it has taken this long for this to happen...

#TUNETUESDAY: November 19, 2013
Okay, today’s #TUNETUESDAY pick is a little baffling, it is
my second favourite track from Kanye West’s album ‘Yeezus’ and is called ‘Bound
2’. I was super shocked at how much I liked this song the first time I heard
it, scanning through the album on my drive into work. It was stuck in my head
all day. Some of the lines in the track made me laugh out loud, I couldn’t get
over how badly I wanted to get back in my car after work and put it on repeat.
Yesterday, Kanye premiered the video on Ellen and I am a
little blown away by it for different reasons. One, the horses and majestic
views that open the video are pretty cheesy… but beautiful so I don’t mind
looking at them. Two, Kim K is gorgeous. Nothing more to say on that front, I
think she has the most amazing body and clearly has no shame showing off her
post baby curves as she rides on Kanye’s bike nearly naked through various
backgrounds (and really why would she?).
I would not advise watching this video at your desk (like I
am) you may just find yourself blushing a little (I did) and then showing your
fellow co-workers and debating what it all means. I really hope this video does
not have the ‘Jenny from the Block’ effect, I love Kim and Kanye together;
regardless they are now bound together until the end of time in this video and
baby North West.
Hot and confusing, just the way I like it…happy Tune Tuesday!
Viral Video: 400-Pound High School Running Back
I would hate to be called ‘the fridge’ but this kid really
should be embracing the nickname. Tony Picard is ahigh school senior and at 6’5
and 400lbs he is a running back that is every other team’s nightmare. Yes,
young Tony Picard already is larger than the Chicago Bear’s William ‘Refrigerator’
Perry who weighed in at 355lbs while playing pro football. Picard has not
decided on a college yet, but will be helping lead his high school from Yakima,
Washington to the State Finals.Big boy, eh?

Sunday Funday: CFL Semi-Finals and Going 1-1 in the NFL
My Sunday’s are spent puttering around my little apartment
cleaning up a week’s worth of untidiness and
baking a little snack to help sweeten up the week. I never really sit and watch things (except for American Horror Story, that is my current television obsession) especially football, but I love having a little background noise on around the house so I am not left to think about doing more than a total surface clean of the apartment. Who needs anything more than Lysol wipes, having all those other cleaning products under the sink is enough right?
Anyways, during yesterday’s marathon football viewing party
I was fortunate enough to catch this lovely Seahawk’s moment, part of Seattle’s
41-20 crushing of the Minnesota Vikings. We ended up going 1-2 on the day, I am
a Seahawks fan so I went to bed half happy last night. The Stamps lost their
Western Final match up the Roughriders (urg!) 13 to 35, if you have ever
listened to ‘Sport Shorts’ you know exactly how I feel about the Saskatchewan
Roughriders. And, my boyfriend’s team, Kansas City took their first ‘L’ of the
season against Peyton Manning’s Denver Broncos 17-27.
Better to start a losing streak now than later in the
season, right?
Until next Sunday I am just going to watch this on repeat…
go Seahawks!
