..Then as Farce

2011-10-03 22:06:45.714254+02 by petronius 0 comments

It is fascinating how celebrity can give itself up to stupidity so quickly these days; Warhols's 15 minutes now seems an eternity. Case in Point: the Wonderful Pistashio Nut Company runs a series of light-hearted commercials with various famous people in green shirts or hats showing different ways to crack open a nut. The latest one features those world famous litigious losers, arch-WASPS and living Tom of Finland cartoons the Winklevoss Brothers, in green ties. Maybe it helps grind the edge off their image, but I myself would prefer to lie low for a few years.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
