I wonder when they're going to stage a similar commercial with Steve Carrell...
Speaking of Harrison Ford, the actor was just elected to the Board of Directors of the Archaeological Institute of America. Ford was elected to the position because of the attention his character Indiana Jones has brought to the discipline of archaeology. When I was younger part of my desire to become a paleontologist was due to the influence of the Indiana Jones films (I used to wear a brown fedora everywhere. In fact, I just bought a new one), and hopefully the exploits of the fictional character will spark a greater interest in the real science among some fans.

A Ford dealership is taking a novel approach to advertising: by telling a small subset of their potential customer base to shut up.
The recent decisions of G.M. and Ford will soon be taught in business school as an example of how not to run a business. Despite gas hovering at $3 a gallon, both companies seem determined to sell the public precisely what it doesn't want: big trucks, bigger SUV's and lumbering V8 engines.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! KELLY CLARKSON!!!!!!
