This is why Blake Shelton is one of my favorite people

     I’ve had the chance to hang out with Blake a few times and something I can tell you is he is really down to earth, and REALLY funny. So it’s no surprise that Blake is making fun of himself for being voted one of People Magazine’s “Sexiest men alive.” Watch this video as he walks the streets of New York City trying to use his new “Superpowers.”

What a scam

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

     Last night I’m watching TV. I see an add come on for a retailer that says a certain item will be on sale for just $blah blah blah. “Wow. That’s a great price” I think to my self. I love TV and movies so I own a monster sized sceen, which means all that little bity print you sometimes see on commercials is easily readable on my TV. Guess what? That great deal which is being advertised nationwide ends with this: “minimum 5 available per store.” You and I both know what that means. There will be 5 per store. So what do you think is going to happen the day after Thanksgiving when hundreds of people line up at some unGodly hour in the morning only to find out there are just 5 of those sale items in the store? It’s not going to be pretty. I’ll just wait until the week before Christmas and get my stuff then when it’s discounted even MORE. (That’s how they’ve trained us to shop, isn’t it?!) What a bunch of chodes. Those stores should be ashamed for using such tactics to lure people into their stores. God help the poor managers who happen to be working Friday morning. I’m sure they’re going to get screamed at.

Pick Me!!

    I’m sure you’ve heard the commercial: “Pick me! I’m a New York State Potato!” All the years I’ve been here at WBEE I’ve NEVER seen a response to a commercial like I have for the Empire State Potato growers campaign. We get requests to play the COMMERCIAL!!! Not only that, but I heard the Greece Messenger paper even wrote an article about the commercial and how catchy it is. Click here to give it a listen (I hear the kids are crazy for this commercial)
