For Your Consideration: Most Anti-Semitic Commercial Ever

Kudos to the Advertising Team behind the brilliant Public Storage ad campaign. In their latest ad, they figured the the best way to tell the American Public about the amazing bargains going down in their oversized orange garages was by having a Jewish woman kvetch over the value of a dollar. As a woman of Hebraic descent, I super-appreciated the message here. Watching the commercial at my desk, dressed like Minnie Pearl at a Russian outdoor market, 6 AM on a Sunday, it made me proud to know that my roots were being boiled down to the essence of a casual Loehmann's shopper arguing to get 10 percent off of a $3000 gown because it's missing a sequin. (Note: I have done this, but still.) For those of you that couldn't follow that rant (all of you), a rephrasing: The following commercial suggests that Jewish people are tight with money, and also have a lot of things in their garage. I guess we should just be thankful that the slogan isn't "Public Storage: The Final Solution For All Of Your Junk!"

ICYMI: ESPN Hissy Fit

Watching ESPN uber-professionals Sean Salisbury and John Clayton devolve from obligatory journalistic opposition to actual, obvious hatred of one another in every "Four Downs" segment is always entertaining, but this past week, with the offseason looming, Salisbury turned to a certain deranged, pun-cracking host puppet for one last glorious, season-ending insult. How long do you think he's been waiting for this moment? Since the first minute he met John Clayton, or since the minute he first saw "Tales From The Crypt" and knew he'd eventually meet a nerd who loosely approximated the Keeper's profile?
