Hilarious

Would sound even funnier if you substituted names like Gaston Mazzacane, Ed Carpenter, Eddie Cheever, Rodolfo Lavin, or Zsolt Baumgartner in there.

$13.99 for a couple of plastic light switch plates.

Marketing must be easy when you're dealing with stupid people.

So is becoming an "American Idol" and getting elected.

I couldn't help notice during yesterday's race all the commercials for the Dale Jr. KFC Collector's Chicken Bucket. You just know that there are a few people out there that have shaken the last few bits of fried chicken out of those, and have them proudly displayed on the mantle. Perhaps several in a pyramid. Maybe even converted to a stylish lampshade.

Just plain scary to even think of that.

You know some redneck is selling these to pay bail on his 15 year old girlfriend who stole a stack of them for him.

Best lines from that story:

Gordon's many commercial endorsements—with corporations ranging from Coke to Kellogg's—further increase the amount of tacky garbage bearing his face.

Yup, seems as though I can't buy a hoagie without some kid handing me a cup that's got me and my car on it," Gordon said. "I don't mind one bit, though. I love to sit back and sip on a Coke and look at that car. It's a great car, ain't it?"

Pepsi must be thrilled to know they spend a zillion dollars a year on the golden boy, and The Onion doesn't even know what cola he "endorses" on a parody of his endorsements.

I'm almost afraid to admit the fact that I have a pretty close friend who'd probably bid on these to add to his Dale Sr. shrine in his family room. :laugh:

I just love watching the #3 on the paddles of the black ceiling fan go round and round and round and round ........... :eek:
