    So, those two normal people got to meet both Bobcat Goldthwait and Dean Cain? Cool.

    I think they were trying to do something that was a little less mainstream


    Does Bobcat Goldthwait realize that that commercial was utterly, totally mainstream? It was a silly, predictable joke based on a single tired premise you could see coming at you from miles away like a forest fire.


    It was basically every episode of Two and a Half Men, but with puke.

    I come here for two reasons.


    1) To hear you and Aaron and the rest's commentary on it.

    I like that Jaques Chirac was the cheapest: he gave Bush an after-shave kit!


    I love the French.


    From 2004:


    According to the State Department's records, Abdullah also gave the Bush family two sets of diamond and white-gold jewelry by the exclusive Italian jeweler Bulgari and an $8,500 mantel clock "elaborately detailed in silver and gold vermeil."


    Abdullah's gifts also included ornamental daggers with ivory handles, worth $1,500, for chief of staff Andrew Card and national-security adviser Condoleezza Rice; a miniature silver sword for Secretary of State Colin Powell, worth $1,500; and a small golden statue of a horse for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, worth $700.


    Russian President Vladimir Putin gave Bush the second-largest single gift: a book of original watercolor portraits of the 43 U.S. presidents, bound in red velvet studded with precious gems. It was valued at $45,000.


    French President Jacques Chirac, an outspoken critic of the Iraq war, nonetheless gave Bush $1,900 in gifts, including a set of Christian Dior cologne, after-shave lotion and soap ($133).

    Uhmm.. Of COURSE. She got DIAMONDS and EMERALDS as well. The total package price was raised significantly above that of just the rubies.

    It's pretty perfect actually. Rice gets beautiful "gifts" because the primitive patriarchal nature of a country that the relatively corrupt and hypocritical American government tacitly endorses sees her as weak and materialistic, able to be bought for a couple of shiny things "like all women". Then after having received these gifts from the dictatorial rulers of these countries that the US tacitly endorses, she has to return them to the federal government, who will then perhaps sell them back to those same rulers for a sum of money that might go towards staffing a hospital that takes care of America soldiers wounded in a fight against terrorist militias receiving full aid and support from the OTHER side of these governments.

    It's not so much that drinking = feminist, it's that these none-too-rare 'Oh noooes! Girls are drinking booze, too? What of the temperance movement? Who will guard the vaginas and tend to hungover men?' pieces = sexist.

    I will go stand in the huffy "so not cute or cool" corner on the drinking issue, for men and women alike. But then I lived with/dated a couple of "adorable" alcoholics. I find drunk-behavior even more disgusting than high-behavior.
