Two Peas in a Very Demented Pod

One of the many reasons why we are not country music fans

After the evening news, we left our television on while we bathed the kids. When we came downstairs, some country music awards were being replayed on TV.

As the monotonous MC droned on about the next presenters - "Three of our talented new heartthrobs of country: Luke Bryan, Bucky Covenington and Jason Michael Carol" - Jamie walked by and commented:

"Check it out. That chick has a beard."


Nighttime pillow talk by those who deserved to be smothered

Me: I have been pondering the abbreviation for MC today.

Jamie: [Grunt].

Me: I mean, what does it stand for? Master of Ceremonies, right?

Jamie: [Grunt of acknowledgment].

Me: So why don't we instead say M.O.C.? Is it because mocking them would be a bad thing?....


P.S. I just tracked a link from Google to JustMommies' Top 100 Mommy Blogs of 2007 and was pleased to see I was ranked No. 13, which happens to be my lucky number (no lie!) Too bad it doesn't count because it is 2008.

Anyhew, I scrolled down and on the right-hand column, I encountered this rotating ad:

Talk about demented.....

Demented is the word alright!

Umm...for the ad, that is.

aubrey said...

~Melissa~ said...

That ad is scary!

On the other hand, you and Jamie can always make me laugh.

Tonya said...

Now, who do you think looked at that picture and thought "Oh yeah,this will make people want to immunize their children" Creepy.

Mannyed said...

Is that baby being strangled??

Jill - GlossyVeneer said...

What freak decided that would be a good pic to use for an ad encouraging something that is part of the proper care of children? EW!

Melissa said...

You know... that ad makes me want to run out right now and get my kids some EXTRA immunizations! Oh yeah! Nothing says "immunize me" like a baby that is turning purple because it looks like it's being choked to death...

Kari said...

Well, I'd say you're demented if you don't like Country Music! ;)

Wow, what a scary ad!!

Worst.picture.ever.
What were they thinking?

I have wondered about MC too.
Hmmm.

Lauren said...

heh, heh, heh..."nightime pillow talk from those who deserve to be smothered" :) I often try to engage my husband in similar conversations, when he is trying to go to sleep...I just have questions that need to be answered...perhaps they are random...I'll give the guy that, but, hey...I'm a curious girl.

Loralee Choate said...

Holy freak. That baby looks like it is being throttled!

Lauren said...

Oh, and by the way, I don't like that picture, either. When you were in grade school did you ever take dandelions and say, "My momma had a baby and its head popped off" and flick the yellow top of the dandelion off with your thumb?" No? Okay, well anyway, that sick picture made me think of that dumb dandelion game.

Hollyween said...

As a true country fan, I'm tellin' you that those guys are ICK! They DO look like girls! Oh, and Rascal Flatts. I like to listen to them, but watching them while they sing makes me gag. I can't handle it. I like Josh Turner... he's a looker. For reals.

That baby picture is freakin' me out, man.

diana said...

it looks like that poor baby is being strangled. i think they could have come up with a better pic than that.

Ana said...

That picture just makes me sick to my stomach! Monday I post a blog about my experience with vaccinating my little one.

Dana J. Tuszke said...

You and Jamie have the best senses of humor. I want to be your neighbor. Although I don't think Doug will allow us to move to Denver. I can hope! :)

Yes, the photo of that baby is scary. It looks like someone is choking him. Ugh.

And I didn't know about the JustMommies list. I saw my URL on it when I went over to look. How fun.

:)
