Huh, huh, huh. He said "stimulus package."
Respectful Insolence
"A statement of fact cannot be insolent." The miscellaneous ramblings of a surgeon/scientist on medicine, quackery, science, pseudoscience, history, and pseudohistory (and anything else that interests him)
Who (or what) is Orac?
Orac is the nom de blog of a (not so) humble pseudonymous surgeon/scientist with an ego just big enough to delude himself that someone, somewhere might actually give a rodent's posterior about his miscellaneous verbal meanderings, but just barely small enough to admit to himself that few will. (Continued here, along with a DISCLAIMER that you should read before reading any medical discussions here.)
Orac's old Blog is archived at Archived Insolence.

Come on, guys - what about the "Trojan Games"? Makes this ad look rather limp...
Posted by: alison | April 14, 2009 4:21 AM
The people who made Trojans in Edison, NJ, showed-up at a charity event wearing T-shirts emblazoned "Trojans, we kid you not."

That is almost as good as the Zazoo ad.

OK, this reduced my crankiness from reading about naturopaths. The world is now in harmonic balance, and my qi is aligned.

Sigh... I have recently noticed a barrage of commercials using recession as part of bad puns and other marketing stuff. Domino Pizza commercials, anyone?
