Stuff that makes me laugh

Ensnared

Marketing / Advertising

As someone who’s been involved in marketing and advertising for pretty much most of his adult life, I am generally immune to clever-pants packaging and advertising.

But I saw this set of erasers at the Sooper-Seekrit Mailbox Place the other day, and just had to buy them even though I have no need of any such thing anymore:

I actually chuckled when reading them — and if I knew Britney Spears’s home address, I’d send her the “oops” one.

Making you buy something you don’t really need just because the message is irresistible:   fundamentally, the sign of excellent marketing.

Funny Stuff

Of all the headlines you’d like to read in whatever media tomorrow, what would you most like to see?  (No, not “AIDS Cure Found In Dolphin Livers” — go bigger.)

Mine?

I’ll leave the sub-head / followup article to you, in Comments.

And by the way, I have a sneaking suspicion that more than a few Democrats wouldn’t mind seeing it either.  But think of all the wasted paper involved in their pre-printed fake ballots…

Bad News

And to make up for that sexxxissss ad, today’s roundup will be all about Teh Wimmens.


...excellent.  More like this, please.  And like this:


… ...for all sorts of good reasons.


...keyword:  lawyer.


...in which we play the usual “Guess The Race” game.  And speaking of intemperate Black women:


...I see this as a win-win situation.  Popcorn, please?  And:


...she should be thinking about keeping herself alive, especially as she has that list of Epstein clients.


...oh, why not?  Left to himself, he could equally have chosen “cheese sandwich”.  Both would be equally accurate.

Now for some intemperate White women:


...are we talking “Wicked Witch Of The West” melting?  Are they selling tickets?


...okay, that’s fake news, unfortunately.


...this nearly made it into INSIGNIFICA.   And speaking of which, here we are:

And living on  :


...well. shall we take a look at Miss Jama’s clothing?

 

And I think that’s all the news worth revealing.

Classic Beauty: Linda Darnell

Classic Beauty

If ever there was an actress who got crucified on the twin crosses of a pushy showbiz mother and a horny studio executive, that would be Dallas girl Linda Darnell (her story here).  Her life could also be entitled:  “Nice Girls Finish Last”, because the one thing about her that everyone ever agreed on was what a sweetie she was.

However, that’s not the story here.  These pics are:

Because she’d been one of the youngest actresses to play adult women — she was barely 16 at the time she started — her movies didn’t show off her figure, and most especially not her legs (which were spectacular).

And when some more “grownup” pictures of her were published:

…she was promptly voted one of the “Four Most Beautiful Women in Hollywood” (alongside Hedy Lamarr, Ingrid Bergman, and Gene Tierney — pretty exalted company).

Hardly surprising.
