I mean, people were talking about the “Man Law” ads, but I hadn’t seen any. Watching the playoffs? I’ve now seen six different ones. And apparently the NBA demographic is also the same group planning to go see The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Sometimes I feel like I must be watching the wrong shows.

This Flux dude believes that I “overreacted” to these “fairly innocent and clever” ads when I posted a couple of paragraphs about them a few weeks ago. Apparently my having satirized Boo-Yah Nation with a bunch of totally made-up shit about an obscure French historical figure with a finger stuck in a beer bottle amounts to an egregiously wasteful intellectual expenditure.

Thus ensuring a recursive infinite feedback loop of failure. But this and other concrete consequences of the bill pale in comparison to the blinding enormity of its symbolic subtext.

Never mind that I've had water with more flavor than Michelob Ultra. Because girly girls don't drink beer, don't you know that? And I watch a lot of sports, therefore I see a lot of beer commercials. The only point to them seems to be that men do stupid things in groups.

I live in the Puget Sound area, where "Mordor Lives" signs have been posted at almost every clearcut for the past forty years. Nonetheless, I cannot imagine where you could be that is so devastated you would refer to it as the Plains of Gorgoroth. MandosX3,
