I saw this commercial a few days ago:
Now, at first glance I was thinking, "Oh, how clever. They used the old Big Red commercial theme song. Yeah, I like that." But deep in my brain - among the files of my 80's childhood memories - something clicked. I remembered the original commercial. I remembered that it had a sculptor; and camping; and suddenly this remake was THAT MUCH better!
Check out the original and see what I mean.
Awesome.

P.S. Recognize the band boy in the old commercial? Here's a hint: "You'll shoot your eye out."
P.P.S. In the newer commercial there is a couple kissing in the background at the very end! Hah! Genius!!

Noah's Ark?

I found news today that somebody has discovered a large, wooden structure on Mt. Ararat (Turkey) that is presumably Noah's Ark. This wasn't the first time I'd heard such news; I've seen documentaries about the same thing on the History Channel - the same channel that brings us "Ancient Aliens," "Nostradamus Effect," and "The Bible Code: Predicting Armageddon." One can't help but approach the "history" here with a bit of skepticism.
The story is found at Fox News.
Take a look. Leave a comment. Tell me what you think. :)
