Who's that? Dylan Thomas?

No, no: this guy

I wombat - 2004-04-09 13:40:58
Wow that guy looks like some kind of throw back to the fifties, do girls like him? and here's Bob, looking atavistic do girls like him?
well I'm pretty much a heathen, whatever that is, and I scored 3, I don't even know which 3, cause I have no memory.

You have to use the tag: blah blah

OK, that didn't work.

Argh, it won't lemme explain.
It's standard HTML for links, see here:

Oh yeah! HTML, I heard a that, let's try this:
Bob's underware AD
-------------------------------
I wombat - 2004-04-09 14:51:24
woo-hoo, I got it right, except for the spelling.
-------------------------------
Paula - 2004-04-09 15:22:28
Well, you got it right. Someone in the Victoria's Secret marketing department got it very, very wrong.
-------------------------------
I wombat - 2004-04-09 17:00:37
Yeah, I thought so. I'd say most women who see this ad, would probably think, "stalker" or "where's that restraining order" or "I'd better put more clothes on there's a creepy guy hanging around"

I scored 4 of 8 - not bad, considering I only knew 2 for sure and was guessing wildly at all the others. My literacy is different from other peoples'.
I can't see the Dylan/VS ad because I don't have Windows Media Player and don't want it - but what I really wanna know is: does Bob's frizzy ol' hair blow mysteriously in the lack of wind like models' hair always does? But Mr. Wombat: your statement is true of Earth women, yes - but not of women on the Planet of Lingerie, whose laws and customs are quite different from our own. (Not to mention that weird wind...)
-------------------------------
I wombat - 2004-04-09 19:21:59
I didn't detect any mysterious blowin' in the wind for Mr. D, but he was filmed though a number of obscuring filters, for that "hide and seek effect"

If someone figured a way to distribute underwear illegally over the Internet, would it be uNdErwArEz?

I saw some silly documentary featuring Dylan and Joan Baez, when they were young, and doing each other, (and he was treating her like dirt), and the funny thing is, they were both awesomely cute... and probably never would have gotten anywhere otherwise. (Which would be fine with me.) But yeah, he's no Brittany Spears (except maybe vocally) now days, and should probably stay away from underwear ads.
I wanna see Missy Eliot (participating)in an underwear ad, and Dylan go do stupid Gap ads with Madoodah.
Regarding the latter two, I've got nothin' against old people, practically being one myself, but as someone who has lately found himself in the these days unexpected position of having to excercise restraint around smitten youngsters, I say that, while it's not creepy for youngsters to try to talk oldsters into doin' things, it most certainly IS beyond the pale for oldsters to try to talk youngsters into doing things, at least things that involve privates. Shame on old Mr. D.
Oh, and that not-unpleasant image of a not-so-slim Missy participating in showing off skivvies (while rapping, of course) makes my creaky self hark back to a favorite rap non-lyric:
"All those other Slim Shadies are non-participatey."
-------------------------------
Paula - 2004-04-11 08:07:44
... featuring Dylan and Joan Baez...
wait, is this in response to the Dylan thing or the interspecies dating thing? Haw.
If the doc you're referring to is Don't Look Back, I've seen it and boy are those Bob/Baez scenes uncomfortable.
I'll broaden the topic and say that DLB is an awful film.
I remember watching it closely on the heels of Gimme Shelter, which is such a vivid doc, with a real plot and momentum and excellent musical interludes, and by contrast, it seemed boring, unimaginative, and pretentious.
-------------------------------
Dan - 2004-04-13 00:15:35
I agree both times, that GIMME SHELTER is good and DON'T LOOK BACK isn't. The scene in DON'T LOOK BACK that I dislike the most is that long argument between Dylan and the other two guys in the dressing room, where no one is really in the mood for a quarrel, but the director refuses to say cut, and so the participants escalate the boring disagreement to a serious scrap just because of camera embarrassment.

well, this ad made me really hesitate for a while that my BOB is sold.
but then i took a deep breath and realise that the guy is having fun. the greatest joke I've ever ever experienced recently. a cruel and angry sight on the 'sold' society he lives in.
gee, americans, you are such a lucky people to have one freak like Bob to remind you of who you are. it's painful, but it works!
bless you all!
