My McCain Ad Critique… the man has seriously lost touch with reality.

As if the last ad about Paris and Britney wasn’t bad enough, the McCain campaign has released one that is even more baffling. I could at least understand him wanting to put Paris and Britney is an ad, he does have a thing for younger blonds with substance abuse issues.

The merger of XM and Sirius Satellite Radio has been in the works for about a year and a half. The FCC finally gave its approval, by the narrow vote of 3 to 2.

I am disappointed. I have owned Sirius Satellite Radio for several years. I really like the 80’s station and the NFL package. I am hoping nothing will change when the merger actually comes to fruition.

Mixed Martial Arts has its first public black eye.

It is sad that an entire sport can sometimes be put on trial (so to speak) for the actions of one or a handful of players. The Tour De France is riddled with speculation of just how common doping is, football has taken a hit over Michael Vick’s dog fights and the numerous players who have been accused of domestic violence, boxing had to deal with an ear being bitten off, and tons of colleges have athletes each year that are accused of rape. All of these incidents reflect poorly on their respective sport.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA ) is the new sport on the block and MMA is facing the first big publicity problem. Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, has been arrested on charges of felony evading, reckless driving and hit-and-run. Apparently he took his nickname a little too seriously.

It arrived rather late into campaign 2008 but the newest JibJab video has been released. It doesn’t matter which candidate you support, the video pokes fun at all politicians.

I am a big fan of most of Jib Jab political videos, which can be viewed at JibJab.com if you haven’t seen them yet. However the most recent video “Time For Some Campaignin” isn’t nearly as good as their previous ones.

Wondering why you cannot find a cow mask at your local costume shop? Today is Cow Appreciation Day at Chik-fil-A. So don’t drive off the road when you see a bunch of two legged cows walking into the fast food restaurant chain.

The new television show,Greatest American Dog, just finished airing and I have to say I am extremely disappointed. While I never thought the show was a good idea or that it would be something I would tune into each week, I was expecting more than what I saw.

Greatest American Dog is more of a stupid manipulated reality show than a true test of what could be considered the Greatest American Dog.

For what it is worth, I am not related to the man portrayed in the movie Mr. Holland’s Opus. However I really did like the movie and admire what the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation is doing now to keep music alive.

So the “Worst Office Freak Out Ever” video on YouTube is going viral. I went and I watched it. I think it is fake. Okay not exactly fake, it isn’t what it seems or is reported to be. I think it is staged.

There is nothing on the office gone wild video that looks like typical reactions that you would expect from people if a co-worker was going on a rampage like that. Women didn’t flee, men didn’t attempt to tackle and subdue the guy, nor did security officers, a boss or an office manager appear on the scene to get matters under control.
