Hotel Room Doors

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Jamie Insalaco | Leave a comment

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

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Jamie Insalaco | Leave a comment

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)

Posted on May 10, 2013 by Jamie Insalaco | Leave a comment

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?

Posted on May 9, 2013 by Jamie Insalaco | Leave a comment

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.

Spock vs Spock commercial is genuinely entertaining (Truth in Advertising)

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Jamie Insalaco | Leave a comment

I’ve been entertained by a commercial. I can’t believe it. Mind blown. Perspective on life altered.

Mr. Spock and Mr. Spock are back together again and this time, it’s for all the marbles – or who buys lunch. I’m not sure if there’s anything funnier than Leonard Nimoy cursing. What can you say? I’m not going to run out and buy an Audi, but this ad more than exceeded my expectations.

Not sure what this has to do with the product, per say (except that Leonard Nimoy’s car can’t fit a set of golf clubs in it’s trunk as easily as Zachary Quinto’s car can), but there you go.

Superman vs. The Elite

Posted on May 7, 2013 by Jamie Insalaco | Leave a comment

Since Batman: The Animated Series debuted way back when, I’ve been a big fan of DC Comics’ animation wing. They hit the bulls-eye almost every time. However, the first 5 or so minutes of Superman vs. The Elite had me nervous, but slowly, the flick laid all of those fears to waste.

Posted on May 6, 2013 by Jamie Insalaco | Leave a comment

For me, Star Trek The Next Generation really hit its stride in Season 5. This post will mention virtually every episode in the season, but there are thirteen that I prefer over the others – and I counted the two parters as single episodes. Anyway, let’s dive in!
