On TV

So Good: Every morning, I get up and run on a treadmill. It's not always fun, and sometimes it's downright painful. But this morning was a little different, thanks to OK Go's free-spirited romp on six treadmills in their music video Here It Goes Again. Glad someone's having a good time!

No Good: The memorable song, Happy Happy Joy Joy, made famous by one of my favorite cartoons, Ren and Stimpy, is now being immortalized in a Sarah Lee commercial. The company probably turned to the one person in their advertising department under 30 and said, "Hey, we need something quirky and catchy that will appeal to our younger audience..." and this is what that lazy bitch pulled out of her ass at the 11th hour. A bunch of people eating food to the soundtrack of a cartoon that features boogers and hairballs. Will my generation ever end its love affair with irony?
