I have some bad news for you.
As someone whose ring finger is legit longer than my middle finger, I didn’t see the problem with the second picture until I saw the first one.
I was going to write a nice little post exploring whether those commercials were truly weird or just seemed that way to me, and that even though I couldn’t understand the explicit messaging I still kinda knew what was going on, and how it reminded me of other experiences where the ambiguity and intersection of cultural context was part of the appeal and resultant novelty, but I just spent the last I’m-not-sure-how-long rediscovering Los Amigos Invisibles and watching old MXE vidoes.
So instead, I’ll just leave you with this (fair warning: longish, low-quality video, slapstick, juvenile humor).
Prodigy.
Holy fuck that was worth watching
I didn’t know ukeleles could sound that beautiful.
Steve Buscemi and Jennifer Lawrence deepfake.
Here was me, that is Sanders, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim and we sat in the Korova Fluids of Cow to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova Fluids of Cow sold milk plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
Surely milk plus should contain eleven herbs and spices…
Love the wheel that goes careening off to the left near the end of the sequence, like it’s in shock.
I wonder how much of that was simulated? All of it?
