I Wish I’d Invented the Internet Too

January 27, 2008

Neil came up with this awesome idea called The Great Interview Experiment and the masses flocked to it, including me.

I got to interview Karl from Secondhand Tryptophan, who I actually already know pantloads about. But like any typical woman, I wanted to know more. And like any typical man, he was thrilled to talk about himself. Go see what he had to say!

Schmutzie will be interviewing me and I’ll be happy to post it once it’s all done!

*********************************

A couple of things I noticed today while re-booting the laundry:

My kids had left the t.v on and I heard an announcer say Bratz Babies. *Double take*

What?

Those Bratz whores are already shooting out kids? Niice.

Also, just before I shut the t.v off, another commercial came on for Mini Pops. I didn’t even know such a thing existed but the commercial was like a trainwreck - I couldn’t look away. I wondered if the former Barney Robo-Kids had grown up to be Mini Pops.

Here’s the Modern Day version of the MP’s:


We flying first class up in the sky
Pop the champagne
Living the life in the fast lane

Watching the kids sing those lyrics made me howl. As if they even know what champagne is. First class? Not as a Mini Pop, man. Alfonso Ribeiro would be riding First Class before you and dude can’t even get into Hyde.

This is even more painful - the UK version of the Mini Pops from long ago, with commentary from former Mini Pops, who I’m sure are all in shock therapy now.

“They’re always looking slightly off-camera like they’re being threatened.”

Confession Time: As a child, I always wanted to be a K-Tel Mini Pop. Sad and pathetic, but true.

    The “mini pops” commercial reminds me of the terrible thing called “kidz bop” here in America!
