Well I just saw a new Guitar Hero commercial that just showed off that drums, microphone and alternative guitar are available for the game - pretty much Rock Band. Although that is def cool, I was shocked to see Michael Phelps in the same video as Kobe, Jeter and Tony Hawk. The biggest goober on the planet, he should only be used to emphasize athletic products, never anything supposed to be 'cool.'
I don't get to watch a whole bunch of daytime TV, so the past few days have been a change. The usual technical-college commercials are still being aired, as well as other infomercials. One set of commercials that I have always tried to figure out is the coins for sale. You know, the limited-edition U.S. mint silver or gold coins. The 9/11 memorialization or the Obama election coins or the Morgan silver dollars. I presume people are thinking that they are making some investment with the purchase of these coins. But if they follow their thoughts to conclusion, they would see that if they were really a worthy investment, then why would anyone be selling them? In the end they will realize that these coins are completely worthless. Likely only worth the value of the melted material and not the face value of the tender.
I see that my hometown has continued to grow. There is a new lane on the freeway (up to three now)! There is a Sonic drive-in. There is a brand-new Walgreens. And there is now a Home Depot. The only closed venue I saw was the strip bar, Wild Bills (formerly known as Cowgirls). I guess the economy hit that industry here hard. Now there is one less thing to do at night here.

It should be a federal law that Michael Phelps must wear a swim cap at all times. It makes his head look less funny.
I would bet that the former Wild Bills employees are now hookers. There was a study in Manhattan done that the number of hookers went up and number of strippers went down (in a downturn less men are willing to pay for strippers but more are willing to pay for sex).
