Spontaneous rebellion! 2 years ago

So last week some time, my son strats drawing on himself (not a rare occurrence). After working at it for a few minutes, he shows me his handiwork: McDonald’s-style M’s, on the backs of his hands and on his legs. And each one: crossed out. I asked him what he had drawn and what it meant. “Those are for McDonald’s and I hate McDonald’s.”

Crank Alert: Coloring books 2 years ago

We had our basement redone recently, by a company I will not name. (They employ a certain pinkish panther as their advertising, um… thing.) Okay.

So.

As part of the remodel deal, we agreed to let them show people the job they did on the basement. That went fine. No one came into our actual house, just the basement.

But a couple days later I found some (company)-branded, pinkish panther coloring books down there.

I don’t want those things in my house. They are now in the recycling pile and I have done my part for world sanity.

No, really. I have.

A revolting development 2 years ago

Read this, about the possibility of more product placement in commercial television.

The solution is simple: continue with the no-commericial-television policy for my boy.
