SMARTER THAN THE AVERAGE BEAR - Jessica, Jessica, Jessica....do you really think that drinking this beer makes you look smart? Are you really trying to be the next Paris Hilton (remember the Paris Hilton Wine?) Is it just me or does this not even look like Jessica? (great photoshop job). Yes, being in a beer ad, with your shirt unbuttoned, mouth open with that vacant look in your eyes really will make people think you are a smart country singer. Sigh. For a wonderful review of the ad, go see what the Fug Girls have to say here.

HEALTHY BEER - As for the "smart" beer Jessica is promoting, ads state that it is a new light beer with "functional additives". But wait, I thought Jessica said those were real and not functional additives? Oh, wait, yes, the beer not the boobs....the beer is supposed to have "drinkability and marketing appeal that speaks directly to a healthier consumer". Um...it damn well better be drinkable or whats the point??? Anyway, the beer is infused with B vitamins, folic acid, and folate. Healthy beer. Call me when they make a healthy Butterfinger Candy Bar. For more info on this go here. For all I know this could be great tasting beer, but kinda like that Paris wine, they lost me with their spokesperson.

THE GAMES - Yes, we are still glued to the TV watching the Olympics. I will be glad when Sunday comes and I can get my evenings (and sleep time) back. But if you are looking to play some games while you are waiting for the NBC broadcast to start, how about trying the Mentos Kiss Fight. Not sure why they are having folks kiss and fight but what the heck, it's a way to keep the mind occupied while you wait for some Olympic Hunk (bring back the swimmers!) to show up on TV.

The picture does not look like a human being. Are you sure that is not a blow up doll?
