If you missed the Oscars last night, this is the can’t miss moment of the night. Kristen and I watched this film… great story. (A little too much music for me) But the song is incredible.

We are brothers
Kristen and I have been walking around the house singing this song. It’s not only a classic American Idol moment it is a great moment in American television history.
“Simon, you are a great human being. You give everyone a chance to talk to the world. You are my glory, Simon!” Good stuff there. The singalong, made me laugh so hard I cried.
I’d buy this. Really, I would.

This one is the commercials we all grew up on.

The Turkey Drop
It’s really not thanksgiving without a little reference to WKRP in Cincinnati, is it? Here’s the classic skit. For those who are too young to remember this show, it was great!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. From our family to yours. Enjoy the pumpkin pie, football games, and of course time with the family. -
Commercial Profiles
Kristen and I have a new game we play while watching TV. It’s called, "Profile the viewer" and we try to determine the profile of the people who watch that show based on the commercials that are shown. The thought is, if marketers think there is a demographic of a show… they’ll target their commercials to that particular show.
For instance:
Kids Programming on Disney features loads of snack buyers who take occasional trips to Orlando unload cash in between repeats of their 5 shows.Or "Without a trace." That’s a show where the people who watch have sexual issues such as erectile dysfunction, genital herpes, or various other things chose a new cell phone while thinking about scoring some Kentucky Fried Chicken or other junk food and contemplating selling their home.
It’s an addicting little game that we believe will sweep the nation.

The Amazing Race is Back!
Kristen and I aren’t really following any one television program, in fact we haven’t followed much for a long time. But we do follow The Amazing Race. We were very happy to catch the first episode of the new season last night. My early money is on the hippy guy couple. -
Super Bowl Ads
Yesterday was a pretty lame Super Bowl for the family. We stayed home and Paul was asleep by the end of the first quarter. Megan watched Disney in the other room all night… and Kristen pretended to watch here and there.
But, the important stuff for me were the commercials. I was really hopeful that they’d be good. Overall I was disappointed with them, but here is my top 10 list.
1. Ameriquest’s "That killed him."
2. Bud’s Naked Sheep
3. Ameriquest’s "Lady on plane"
4. Bud’s Magic Fridge Wall
5. Careerbuilder.com: The Jackass
6. Bud’s Flip Cards
7. Bud’s Baby Clydesdale
8. Sprint’s Crime Deterrent
9. Diet Pepsi: Pdiddy’s new star
10. Godaddy.comI found out that Romeo cancelled schools today. I honestly cannot imagine why. We got some snow (4-6 inches) on Saturday night and it just blew around last night. If I had to guess I would say that the students were given the day off since their teachers had post-Super Bowl hangovers. RCS never ceases to amaze me by cancelling school for no good reason. We do live in Michigan right? Does that still border Canada? Shouldn’t people here expect winter? The lack of plowing and salting is criminal. The dirt road thing is just mis-management. The road commissioner should be put in prison for not paving every road in the county. It’s 2006 and people here are living like it’s 1916.
