What Price Fame?


If you were an actress, and you got a call from a central casting to do a commercial for a pharmacutical company, how excited would you be?


What about doing a commercial for a product like Phillips Colon Health products?   Ok, it's really almost a PSA but with a pay check.  

Taking care of ones colon is a serious matter.  God only knows that Grandma J makes no bones about taking care of her colon by getting it reamed scoped every few years.


Now let's say you signed on with Phillips, and go on a whirlwind tour promoting their colon cleansing products.   Kind of like when Pioneer Woman jets around the country promoting her book at signings and on all the daytime TV shows.......

And, how fun would it be to see your face plastered on the walls of the airport terminal as you walk along on the people mover.....similar to the Geico Apes.

And look how special you are with your very own Purple Colon Health carry-on bag?  Grandma J just loves free  corporate gifts.

And the excitement would never end when stranger's come running up to you!

WOMAN: You’re the colon lady!


COLON LADY (grinning from ear to ear): Diarrhea constipation gas bloating that’s me!

Then, you proceed to hand out samples of Phillips Colon Cleansing kits!

Here's a short clip of The Colon Lady as she proudly boasts about her new identity...




This is almost as irritating as the woman who yells....at Toby's new trick!

SOME THINGS DRIVE ME NUTS!

I have a really bad habit of having at least two energy efficient TVs on all day long. They have to be on the same channel so I don't go batty as I sashay from room to room doing my chores. Basically it's all news, nothing I have to watch, just listen.

So, since I don't have to share get to pick what's on, you're wondering what drives me nuts, right? It's commercials. Not all commercials. Some are cute, some are informative, and others drive me crazy.

I've told you how I feel about Vince of ShamWow fame, and even more so after his arrest for almost biting that prostitute's tongue off.

Then they was that women screeching TOBY! as her dog drags his butt across her carpet.

NOW.....I've had it up to here ^^^ with the Verizon Commercial that plays every twelve minutes all day long.

*Please note, I muted the sound on the commercial to take the pictures....

you know, the one with Devon, Mr. fear of commitment.

And Cindy, who finds his Verizon wireless network dependency weird.

Oh, and don't even get me started on the Capital One commercial? Yeah, the Spaghetti Jimmy wins.... saying, "What's in your wallet?"

Is there a commercial that drives you nuts?
