This storm just kinda rolled in on us as we were walking on the beach. We got back to the hotel in time, but only just. Lots of lighting!

Hotel Room Doors
Never thought I’d be writing about hotel room doors, but here we are.
I guess it’s worth mentioning that hotel room doors have gone through an evolution over the years. From regular keys to slide cards to tap cards, hotel room doors have kept up with technology in a way I couldn’t of foreseen.
This, however, I didn’t see coming.
What the hell is this? Who is it for? The extreme visual learner, I guess… The person who can remember the picture on their door, but not the number. Crazy. You win again, hotel room doors. Keep evolving.
United Airlines class system
Since United Airlines and Continental Airlines merged, they really nickel and dime you about everything: food, blankets, pillows, tv, seats and so on. But they’re also very classist, too.
We’ve all heard of flying first class or coach, but United has so many levels of class that it will make your head spin. This last time we flew, they called it Economy Plus, which just means they gave us a humane amount of leg room. They’re even nuts about the way they board the plane!
Any time you fly United, they’ll find about five ways to separate you from your fellow travelers – and it’ll feel dirty.

Planned Parenthood might need help with their ad campaign (Truth in Advertising)
So… Planned Parenthood is keeping us safe for romance? That… I don’t exactly know what that means. It makes it sounds like Planned Parenthood will be fluttering around you at all times, as if they’re The Great Gazoo or something, help you get it on.
I presume they mean they’ll provide some means of birth control and screen you for STDs… but I guess that doesn’t really pop on a banner ad. It makes more sense to say ‘keeping you safe for romance,’ which sounds to me like, “Don’t forget to stretch before you bang!” or “make an appointment” so they can help you get in the proper shape so you don’t pull a muscle or something.
Maybe a better question is, why does planned parenthood need to run a banner campaign? Do people really not know that planned parenthood exists? I admit, I’m not really sure where my local branch is, but I’m sure a quick Google search would take care of that. I guess it’s for the kids. Kids these days, huh? With the X-Box and the Facebook and the what not… and they don’t know… what the sex… is all about!

For real, Womans World?
Coffee prevents brain aging? Drinking Starbucks (specifically Starbucks?) will make you lose weight? Come on, Womans World… I’d say, “you’re better than that,” but I guess we all know that’s not true.
Earth Day Birthday Prank
I imagine this Person got a birthday card that went something like:
Monday was Earth Day,
Today is your birthday,
So, we wasted a ton of paper in your honor.
PS: the tape we used is ruining your paint job.

“Hi, I’m your Facebook Friend, and it’s Awful!”
I’m fairly good at avoiding Facebook. This is an essential part of my life because I’m anti social and loving it. Sure, I’m comfortable with going to restaurants, the movies and what not, but talking to strangers? That would be CRAZY. Also, everyone out there seems to be inferior to Dr. Girlfriend, and I’m just not good with disappointment.
Still, I use Facebook (and other social media) to support the site (“Like CreativeJamie.com on Facebook! Get immediate updates for each new post, site news and more! Like CreativeJamie.com on Facebook!“) and I will look in from time to time to see what my ‘friends’ are posting in the news feed. I need to stop doing that. Continue reading
Oh Google Ads, you so crazy!
I presume that Google Ads are served based on page content and user traffic history, but how this combo of ads gets served, I have no idea. Also, neither of these ads interest me, so congratulations, Google Ads: you gave me a good chuckle while making no revenue for your clients.
What’s that, you say? Google Ads is serving all sorts of weird PSAs on CreativeJamie.com? The hell you say….
The worst April Fools Day joke ever, courtesy of Wii Fit
It’s still too cold (for me) to run outside. I just want to run. Please, Wii Fit, just let me run! But noooo, the Balance Board has to be an a-hole and make me endure its terrible stand up comedy!
The worst part is, you don’t need to use the Balance Board to run – it just likes being a jerk.

Useless Receipt
I’m not trying to be a pain in the ass, but seriously, what am I supposed to do with this? Next time, just save the paper and don’t bother giving us a receipt.
Selling Jesus Door to Door
I live in a neighborhood with a lot of churches and I guess three competition is fierce for patronage in a world with dwindling church attendance. Some guy dropped this off:
Wow, Jesus looks great! Looks like he just got a hair cut and his beard trimmed! In fact, I think I know where the artist got his inspiration from…
Yep, it seems to be Mark from The Room. How the hell did that happen?
Speaking of hell, this is just one more post that probably confirms my final destination.

Dress Up for Boys is Kinda Extreme
Girls have had the market corned on dress up for a long time, but now boys can get into the act. Except… they might be doing it wrong. Check out these photos after the jump… Continue reading
Enough already with the Angry Birds!
By my count, there are six different Angry Birds video games. From the original, variations on the original to licensed properties, Angry Birds has enough titles to shake a stick at. (Whatever that means.) But, as I am fond of saying, it doesn’t end there. Continue reading

Oh Target, you so… trying to kill me
Since I’m giving Target a hard time anyway, I thought I’d include this picture of the fire exit being blocked by a zillion shopping carts. There are probably another 10 behind that door. So… yeah. Safety first!

Spam Comments
Well, it’s nice to see you again, Mr. Spam Commenter.
Sheesh, they’ve really been coming out of the woodwork in the last few weeks. See how their comment talks about blowers? They posted the comment on this page so it’d be relevant content, which is important from an SEO perspective, which is why these spammers and scammers are running all over the place posting these comments in the first place. Fortunately, we’ve got a system in place that lets us approve all comments before they go live, so no one is getting that crap up in this house.
NO ONE.
In any case, I’m sure they’ll keep trying, and I’ll be here, ready, with my trusty delete button of justice.
