[You turn me on...]

I just heard an advertisement on Capitol 95.8fm that I thought was worth mentioning. The voice-over said if you could identify the mystery sound, you could win a shirt with a "cute" saying printed on it, which is "you turn me on".

Points to ponder:
  1. Let's face it, 95.8fm is really an auntie/uncle radio station. Do they know what "you turn me on" means?
  2. Should an auntie or an uncle even have such a saying on their shirt? They're not 18...So it's not cute. I think it's creepy.
But hey, that's just me. Don't flame me if your parents have and wear such a shirt.




Those of you who've read my older entries know that I'm not a fan of Digital Life. The quality of the articles have gotten better over time, but today's edition featured an article that made me lose faith in them...Again.

They published some "tips you must know" (or something along those lines) on page 2. One of them was asking people whether did they still open IE windows using the little blue "E" on the taskbar, and then pointing out that one of the great new features of IE 7 was the tabbed browsing feature.

OH PLEASE!

No, not because Firefox already had this feature ages ago, but because there was no way in hell would anyone using IE 7 not know about tabbed browsing. I mean, com' on...A fresh IE 7 installation basically screams "tabbed browsing" at you. It's one of their main selling points and they're damn proud of it. No one using IE 7 would not know about it.

The people at DL really needs to wake up their ideas....




Guess what's on 95.8fm now? An "expert" of some sort is giving advice to parents on how their daughters should dress. Your typical stuff, like not too revealing, not too expensive, etc.

I always thought such things were stupid. How can middle-aged people try to understand and control how teenagers dress? Or how they think? Or anything at all? If the "expert" was a young adult, it would probably be more appropriate since the generation gap is smaller. Nothing is harder on the eyes than a teenager dressed like a 40-year old woman.

But that's not really what I want to talk about. Here's the kicker...A radio station wanting to give out shirts with the saying "you turn me on" to aunties/uncles also wants to give advice on how young ladies should dress.

If this happened in a computer, we'd see a BSOD. Logic conflict.




My sister asked me if I mentioned I've been blogging using her laptop. So here it is --- I'm blogging using my sister's laptop.
