I'm The Only One Who Likes the Bill Gates Jerry Seinfeld Microsoft Ads

CVD hates them. My arch nemisis Mike Wendland hates them (but he seems to hate all things Microsoft, so take it with a grain of salt).

Apparently me and this guy from the Sydney Morning Herald are the only people who like the ad. What do you think, loyal readers?

Snoozefest 2008: The 2008 MTV Video Music Awards

Talk about boring...MTV made a name for its piddly award's show by pushing the envelope. Apparently they've pushed it right off the desk and can't find it without bifocals, because the whole thing was tore up from the floor up last night. (You can see the brilliant Michael K's live blogging recap here on DListed--CVD and I thought he was hiding in my basement capturing our thoughts.)

Some lowlights:

• Britney "opened" the show with a boring ass sketch with that kid from Superbad. So much for a performance
  
• Rhianna sang Distrubia, which is slowly becoming a good song to me, and wowed no one with nothing. In fact, I kind of wish she would have lipsynched because the singing was awful.
  
• That new host was funny as hell, but pissed off conservatives (including Jordin "I'm Pure And Proud" Sparks) with his bit about so-called "purity rings"
• Demi Moore randomly showed up as the official MILF of the evening to give out an award
• Rhianna sang again (how does this girl get so many chances?)
• Pink gave the performance of the night with a song I do like
  
• Christina has a new theme and both CVD and I love it, but unlike Rhianna who doesn't have half the voice Christina does, she did lip synch and it was really obvious
• Kanye West closed the show with a Kenna-esque song that I liked and CVD didn't.
  

So what have we learned? Either CVD and I are too old for the VMAs (which is possible) or they're just plain ol' boring as hell (which is probable).

Congrats to Brit Brit though who won her first three VMAs last night.

A wash

Super Tuesday was a wash, as predicted by DadGrace, CVD and others. I think it stands as a testement of Obama's play with the nation--coming from behind like that to be neck in neck with a veritable political powerhouse is nothing to sneeze at.

And though it took me a few minutes to find it after seeing it earlier this week, here's an article from the weekend about Hillary's so-called "35 years of experience". CVD finds her experience to be a selling point, so I'm dedicating this link to him. It is an article by Matt Stearns from the McClatchy Washington Bureau about her true resume. Granted, it throws in an unncessary dig against Obama at the end (and I'm all for telling the truth, it just didn't seem to have a lot of purpose in this article except to keep the playing field seemingly even), but it does speak to the myth of Hillary's experience and the myth of Barack's inexperience (as does this commentary based on the article from the Nation).

So happy Hangover Wednesday, America. We're still in for a long haul.
