Interesting watching the World [sic] Series tv commercials, a couple of spots for an insurance company, one of a single mother out on a date who refuses an ill-timed offer of marriage (sleep with me now, it'll be ok, we'll get married later, whattaguy) despite her babysitter hassle because she is insured by John Hancock, another of a lesbian couple in a hospital delivering a baby with no worries 'cause their premiums are paid -- hey and it's very cool that they didn't even use the word lesbian, they just showed it, oh yeah, fuckin with the bible belt right in the middle of america's (2nd) greatest pasttime! ...Sure... That's how the people who make commercials can live with themselves: they actually think they're doing something! Yet another spot featured a Brian Lambish looking gent offering an inside look at a late-night internet help- desk office populated by a heavily gothed pierced tatooed sexually ambiguous satanic phone operator, and mr. Lambish offering an button-down serious biz alternative (well, the real Lamb's alright, you know, it's just the phenotype they were using). Also there is that Normal, Ohio show which is an excuse for gay-bashing alibied as liberation, no?
ironic and putatively subsversive
