Procrastinator's Toolbox

You Used to Be Able to Do That On Television

TomcruiseThere was a time when children's television was irreverent, raunchy, dirty, and slime-filled.  When caricatures of Tom Cruise cleaning toilet bowls and George Bush shooting Dan Quayle in the ass didn't lead to lawsuits or pundit freak-outs.  When people actually got the joke.  Yes, this was in the days of feathered hair and thin leather neckties, before Alanis Morissette sang naked in the street using her tresses to strategically-cover them private parts.  It seems like folklore now, gone the way of unicorns and phoenixes, but You Can't Do That On Television really did exist.  See for yourself, and remember.

Avert work with Adverts

TvcommWatch some of the coolest commercials from around the world on Ad-awards.com and be both entertained and television-culturally-savvy.  It's updated monthly and like watching the Clio's all the friggin' long day long.

- report by SMPT correspondent, Kyoung Kim, whose post title is reason no. 254 why she shouldn't go into advertising ever... yet she still thinks she has a really good idea of how to market ballpoint pens
