And that the "Keep America Beautiful" campaign that this commercial was a part of, was actually one of the first examples of corporate greenwashing - which is an attempt to divert responsibility from industries that rely on disposable and planned obsolescence products, and put the responsibility onto the consumer that improperly disposes of them? It was paid for by Phillip Morris (cigarette butts) and I think the Aluminum Can Corporation of America (cans, duh) among others.
Complicated, table for 6 billion please?
Since I value my fellow Monsters' opinions I am watching the first episode on my Roku now. 10 minutes in, and LIKING IT. I like all these guys and gals.
My girlfriend was talking so much shit to me about Terry Gross last week when I mentioned listening to her talk about America's fascination with the World Cup. She worked with Terry Gross a few years ago and said this: "Terry Gross is an ugly hypocritical bitch who rails celebrities on her show for driving around in SUVs, and then drives herself home in an Escalade! She's horrible!" ... My girlfriend probably wants an Escalade herself, but I don't know... She just gets so mad about things!
I grew up in the South (Louisiana specifically; I Hate U BP Nev Forget), but I've visited New York. It's a different kind of "sunlight reflected one million times back and forth in every direction off of concrete, glass, steel, and puddles of urine and Snickers wrappers everywhere" kind of heat, so yeah. I can respect Gabe's complaining.
Big pats on the back to you for providing that bit. When it played I said to myself, "Now if a man had answered that, NO BIT!" Or I guess they could have dubbed in a woman's voice... But still, you are great for being there and saying that.
