Just a few things that have been on my mind lately:
-That song for the Pechango Casino - the one where the woman sings "TAKE ME AWAY!!! TO A SECRET PLAAACE!!!" Yeah, that one. Is it just me, or did whoever write/record that song just try a little too hard on that one? It's just a little too intense for an ad about an Indian casino in the middle of nowhere.
-When the news does stories on fat people, they always show footage of fat people lumbering around doing mundane things but shoot them from the neck down. I used to hate that - I always thought it made fat people look like mindless, creepy mutants. But then I just saw a news report on fat people that showed one woman - head and all - lumbering around a voting center. And I felt really bad for this woman, like the news was blaming HER for whatever the problem with fat people is today.
-I was really shocked to see Prop 8 pass in California. And in the days after the election, I watched a lot of the protest rallies on the news. But I couldn't help but think - wasn't the best time for these "No on 8" rallies BEFORE the actual election?
-I watched the "90210" episode that was shown opposite election coverage. But what I don't understand is why would the CW interrupt the show to tell us what's going on with the election? Did someone at the CW really think that I wouldn't be able to find that election stuff on every other single network out there? I mean, if you're airing 90210 against the election, you gotta go through with that decision.
The woman who wrote that song? Natasha Bedingfield. You can totally write her and let her have it.
