MY BUTTER IS BETTER THAN YOUR BUTTER

They just aired the "My better is better than your better" Nike ad back-to-back with the AT&T greetings ("Buddy", "Buddy", "Dude") ad. Somewhere during that minute I suffered whiplash.

Seriously, if you didn't think we were A.D.D. Nation before, those two commercials confirm it. In the future no single image will be shown onscreen for longer than 0.7 seconds, unless, of course, it's an image of Kim Raver and that hunky dude having affair sex in a "Lipstick Jungle" promo. Honestly, have you seen these? The last time I saw that much skin on my television I was billed $12.95 (but the movie title did not show up on my hotel bill).

Meanwhile, Marquette is beginning to pull away from Kentucky while thousands of greeters and blackjack dealers in Las Vegas are howling with laughter as their UNLV, a 2-point underdog, goes up by 25 on Kent State. Remember to tip your oddsmakers, guys.

(Update: But of course. They don't take action on UNLV games in Las Vegas, so there's less interest in setting a spread. And thus the blackjack dealers, etc., wouldn't be able to place bets on those games. Thanks, Barry.)
