You have entered a dimension of space and also time. So, ok, it’s kind of like your own dimension. But then all this is going on too.

Sorry for anyone who had problems accessing comments over the weekend, we moved to new hosting with new php permissions, so a lot of things broked. We believe nothing else is broked, but if you find anything, let me know and I’ll unbroke it. I know a lot of video links are dead, so you don’t need to tell me about that, that is just the nature of the YouTube century that we are all living in.

I did not bother moving the forums because no one was trying to use them except spammers. The forums are in heaven now.

I thought today I’d take a long creepy look at monsterpawn.com, a pawn shop in central Illinois. When you stare into Monster Pawn, it stares back at you. Really. Look at the commercial.

It’s worth looking over the other ads on their video page. If the rule with local advertising for businesses like this is to be memorable at least they are definitely doing that right.

Are you too stupid to work a blanket? When the blanket falls off of you, do you look down at it, confused as to why it’s no longer on you? Would you like the blanket to follow you around?

Ding A magical Snuggie appears on your body.

There, now you can do everything but go out into public. Wait, where are you going, don’t go outside! People will see you!

Other uses for the Snuggie include: Suicide cult start-up attire; shirt; dress; robe; graduation gown; bride’s maid gown; suit and tie.

Act now unless you are unable to extricate yourself from your current blanket.

I live in a test market for the switch to digital television, so our elderly are hip-deep in the transition process depicted in this video.

I don’t consider this making fun of the elderly since it’s exactly what I imagined the first time I saw a DTV-switch PSA on television. Older people seem the most likely candidates for people still using an antenna to watch TV, and the most likely to by utterly flummoxed by an attempt to switch over to digital.

Less hilarious-minded PSAs encouraging more tech savvy people to look after the elderly during this transition period would actually be a good idea. Most people who see the real DTV PSAs think ‘I’m ok I’m on cable’ and not ‘oh no, old people!’ then imagine their grandmother putting her remote control in the microwave.
