2:51 PM: Temple 45, Georgetown 44

This Flomax commercial has lapped the field when it comes to "most-run commercial" but it's so unintentionally funny that I can't be mad at it.

However, Jared Jewelers has broken out the big guns in its war with Kay to produce the most commercials that make me weep for western civilization: the one where the woman is doing the crossword and asks her friend for a thirteen-letter word for "marriage proposal," then answers her own question with "He went to Jared" and they both start screaming.

Yup. That's how I imagine most proposals are. The most exciting thing about a couple deciding to spend their lives together is ... what jeweler the guy went to. Good thing that guy wasn't some sucker who went to Kay ... they probably would have broken up immediately.

Also, where are the Pacific Life whale commercials? It just isn't college basketball without them.

I really have nothing to add as far as the actual game. Georgetown is not going to cover, so I really don't care if they actually win or not. Enjoy your wall dollar, Powers.

  1. Sure, it's a one point game and you're not there to blog it, are they fouling and Temple is just missing their foul shots, are lots of people shooting and it's back to first half air-ball land, I guess I'll never know...hope you have a good run

  2. Also, as 332 will apparently soon be vacated, what wall are we putting dollars on, or are we each just going to keep a designated section of wall in each of our apartments for dollars?

  4. Strong, didn't know you liked Ender's game that much. I think I may have seen a whale commercial parodying itself, with the whales now dancing around to music as someone says something like "so what's with those whales anyway." I was hanging out with Andre Agassi at the time though, so all of this should be questioned.
