Super Bowl Ad Contest

Doritos, those delicious chip snack products, is wrapping up a contest that allows anyone - you, me, junior college film students, the son of a CEO, whoever - to submit a 30 second commercial. If the commercial wins, it will be shown during this year's Super Bowl. Yep, some local amateur film maker can have his video, filmed using a 500 dollar video camera and edited on his Mac, shown during a 2.6 million dollar 30 second slot. Dreams do come true.

The site is here or cut and paste the following

So my friend, Uncle Bill, knows someone who is one of the 5 finalists. His commercial is called Live The Flavor, by 5pointp. The second from the right on the site.

Please go and vote for it. The only catch is you need a Yahoo account to vote. It's free but it requires a few minutes to sign up. My Yahoo is kind of cool, a little old school, but cool so it might take you on a productive path anyway.

Randy Johnson

Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, gooooood bye.

Walk away Randy, walk and don't look back, don't call, don't write, leave this town and forever stay gone. Drop off your keys in the slot, don't leave a forwarding address and forget the Yankee's phone number. Walk, nay, run from this town to the land of sun and desert and forget this chapter of your life every took place, trust me, us Yankee fans are going to try.

I hope Brian Cashman says to the Big Unit

"you leave town tonight, right now. And when you're gone, you stay gone, or you be gone. You lost all your NY privileges. Deal?"

I am so disgusted with Randy Johnson and hope Kevin Brown and Johnson feel the same sense of self loathing for failing so miserably with the best sports organization in the entire universe. Those two asses could have been HUGE in this town and walked away with some jewelry but did they? NO!! AAAHHHHHH.

And you, Cashman, I hope you learned your lesson with this train wreck. DO NOT go after old, over paid jerks any more. No more. It's over. You played with daddy's money and bought something that was useless and no more bad decisions around old pitchers.
