Brave commenters should post what they think this is an ad for before clicking...

Another lovely meme brought from the slow-publishing folks at memepool. I particularly like the shadenfreunde of watching the actors visibly do their best to pretend that this commercial was not going to be something will regret.

Ad from Eliot Spitzer's 2006 campaign for New York governor

Who else finds this just a tad ironic?

Dieses ist ganz verrückt!

Ok...Germany just fell down a notch for me. I guess nobody is perfect...

M, ty 4 b!

To the elusive "M" who had a scrumptious breakfast delivered to my door this morning, thank you. What a nice way to start off this day. (Michael, if it's you, you have an impeccable memory!)

M, D, L, K, R, and all of my fantastic friends and family . . . your thank-you cards are in the mail.

Oprah Tickets

As a Chicago transplant, the first question all of our family and friends asked when we moved here was, "Have you seen Oprah yet?"

The answer? No.

I wasn't there when Tom Cruise maniacally jumped on Oprah's pretty leather couches, nor was I there when she gave away Spanx on her Favorite Things show. I didn't even score tickets to see Dr. Oz talk about poop or Nate Berkus share soothing stories about Fernando. And yes, to be clear, I'm somewhat disappointed that even though we live just minutes away, we still haven't had any run-ins with THE Oprah.

My husband just forwarded me this website for a company that calls and calls and calls on your behalf until they get through to the studio, guaranteeing tickets for you and three friends. The service fee for 4 tickets? $999. And that's probably not inclusive of Chicago's already-steep sales tax.

Why didn't I think of that first? Smart entrepreneurs!

This is the most visually fascinating news application ever.
Brilliant. But don't worry, beloved Drudge... I'll still remain loyal.

Can I get a napkin please?

The latest from our friends at Improv Everywhere. You may remember them from "No Pants 2K8," "Frozen Grand Central" and "Mobile Desktops."
