Less Exciting Band Names

Yesterday morning was unusually spent on Facebook. Two of my friends were having this long chain of comments triggered by this and they very graciously allowed me to intrude. The following are some of the ones I contributed:

The 5,6,7,8... uhm...shit...s: Formed by three second grade friends six years ago, they've now renamed themselves as The α, β, x, y, zs

John, Secretary to the Mayor: A famous percussion artist who uses innovative beats such as the phone ringing and typewriters

The Bee Gee Kay Em Dee El En Es Are Sees: Formed in the late 1800s by the whole Gibbs family, they now record as only The Bee Gees because of the passing away of most of the other members

Less Exciting Movie Names

And after we were done with this then Ruff had this idea to do it for movies and  this is what ensued. Sacred Cow was still around. He tells me that he doesn't agree with my selection of the titles and I tell him that it's my blog and that's that.

12 Angry Women (It's a silent movie, none of them are talking to each other)
Glad I Ate Her
Virginity, a Die Hard prequel
Found Nemo

Advertisements border on the ridiculous. The day to day ridiculous ones involve ordinary men picking up women with a little help from their bikes, their shaving razors and their mobile phones and independent, smart women walking around with their heads held high because of sanitary napkins with stretchable padding. The once in a while ridiculous ones have been listed here. But occasionally there comes along this real corker of an ad which just makes you suddenly sit up and raise an eyebrow or two. If you survive that part (unlike poor Humpty D., god rest his yolk) then that advertisement will elicit a laugh out of you. After the laughter fit passes you will be doing some serious introspection about the ad, the product, your life and the world in general. What got me up and ranting this time was the ad released by Chevron quite some time back which was left behind by the one that Pakistan (PDF/JPEG) got on the WSJ recently.
