If this is a joke site, and I sincerely hope that it is, it is a very well done joke site. If not, well, it's just wrong on many levels.

Well, it doesn't take much to be "drunk" by the legal standards in many states. One Long Island would do it for a big hunk of the population.

No. You may put me on ignore, though, if it makes you feel better. Thanks for quoting DS, by the way.

That was part of the joke.

PoMo is so 2000. Rejoice! We are in the age of the Now.

What's wrong with Long Island?

Age of the Now
 
I am in the age of the then, or the when, or the where, but definitely not now.

I thought the scorpian on the little girl's forearm was done quite tastefully.

If by "NOW" you mean 1998 (for now, anyway).

That may very well have been my favorite part of the hour. I was very pleased with Orbitz for seizing that particular marketing opporutnity and unabashedly running with it on TV. It makes sense, but it was also ballsy, I thought. As far as I can remember, there've been some sublte gay advertisements (I'm thinking of Volkswagon commercials), but not overtly targeted gay ads on TV before.

I agree. Wrong and disturbing on many levels. However, I did find myself thinking that having a tat on junior provides some nice identifying features for the police should said junior ever go missing (or worse).

The site is scary -- looks too detailed to be a joke site. I guess some might say that its better than circumcising them?

I've been seeing the Orbitz Thunderbirds ads for a couple of weeks now. Yes, even the one for gay travel. I watch a lot of BBC America, Fox Sports World, and TLC. Can't remember which network they aired on.

I am anxiously awaiting the Thunderbirds movie (I loved that show as a kid). Hope it's as good as the commercials.



Edited to fix typo.

The Subaru ones featuring Martina Navratilova were close to overt.

And to think that my parents wouldn't let me get my ears pierced until I was 12.

That little boy in the Raiders jersey looks terrified and in a lot of pain.
