and here's something
weird: my place
in Humor 3-space

Wednesday, October 02, 2002
 
I am sick of hearing about this guy in the Gap ad. Every girl I know is dampening her jammies over this prancing idiot just because he looks like their perfect indie-rock dream. But it's a swindle, see? He's no more indie-rock than Avril Lavigne is punk.
      In case you haven't seen it, I'll describe it for you: Standard Gap white background. "Funky" music. Guy who needs just the right amount of shave wearing tight jeans and some other disheveled Gap gear. He dances like the flamingest Broadway chorus liner you've ever seen, pulling a ridiculous windmilling arms move and a strange exaggerated stepping thing that makes him look like John Cleese in the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch. But oh, there are intermittent close-ups of his earnest, stubbly face. He's got dirty hair and the barest trace of smirk. His eyes say "I won't break your heart, babe. Let's get sloshed and fuck." Sighs from all women present.
     Yes, it's bizarre. Every girl who sees the ad thinks he's talking to them when it's painfully clear that he's talking to ME, or at least somebody with the same type of genitals as me. But whatever, gayness aside, THE POINT IS they think he's hot. They say it: "He's HOT." "Ah mah gah totally." "Yummy." And when I cover the floor with hot vomit, PW rewinds the TiVo to show me the few still frames where he is undeniably hot. "See?!?! LOOK AT HIM."
     I am looking at him, you horny bitches. And what I see is a guy whose moves are so hopelessly WRONG that if you saw him dancing at a bar, show, or party, you would actually point your fingers and mock him with the utmost severity. You cannot rewind and pause real life, sweeties. You cannot separate his pretty face and beat-up sneakers from his road-company-of-Cats dance stylings. Sniff his hands -- they smell a little jazzy, don't they? Yes they do.
     Aren't you ashamed? Can you see the error of your ways? Don't just nod at me like I'm an idiot. YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY STOP THINKING HE'S HOT. STOP NOW. NOW. AAARGH.

DISALLOWED FOREVER

"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you!"
-
"from whence"
-
"...the exception that proves the rule"
-
any use of the question "spit or swallow?"
-
the phrase "drop trou"
-
fake-o reviewer verbs:
"penned" for wrote
"helmed" for directed
"lensed" for whatever
-
"expat"
-
the euphemism
"passed away"
-
pronouncing merci beaucoup as "mercy buckets!"
(see also: "grassy-ass!")



PET PEEVES

"confinscated"
-
trying children "as adults"
-
"drownded"
-
misuse of reflexive pronouns, as when someone says "Please talk to Bob or myself." Come on people now. "Myself" is not just a fancy version of "me"! LEARN IT.
-
tattoos in the Courier font
-
any use of Comic Sans
