here we go ...

response to Super Bowl adverts ...
"here we go" ...
sure echoes the Bush/Rumsfeld battle cry - "Lets Roll"
looks like bud lite becomes the lubricant for collective stupidity and the beverage of choice for the Sarah Palin popularity campaigns ...
and i always enjoy the 'we' and 'lets' configuration - if one person behaved as the commercials go - they'd look a little nuts - but more than one, and we've got unanimity - which also creates anonymity for the likes of tea-baggers, birthers, bigots and idiots ... which says something about how the standards have been lowered for team players - and the fact that the networks and NFL turn their back on it for revenues ...
it's all about catch phrases and branding - and like i said yesterday - i'm concerned about literacy - or the lack thereof - and something about the bud lite and jim beam booze commercials that help promote deceit [rent-a-dog, get-a-girl ads] and collective stupidity that bother me - and even the cute, little insurance gecko who knows damn well what happened to his bosses first buck, or the allstate guy with a trusting face who played a black president on one of those mini-series tells you that he could make breaking up easier - or the doritos guy in a casket committing some kind of fraud at the expense of mourners - it all gets promoted through something these corporate giants think we need - screw truth in advertising - that almost doesn't seem to matter anymore since it seems anyone will do anything for a cheap thrill or a laugh - and the more sensational, risque, or scary - all the better ...
in my mind, i montaged a couple of commercials from the "here we go" ads and the upcoming movie that says "something has changed" - showing previews for "the crazies" ...
anybody have Nero's fiddle transcriptions?
