Ironing and Crying By Amanda on February 21, 2008 11:33 PM | Permalink | Comments (4)
I was watching American Idol tonight (What? Shut up.) and the whole joint was totally discombobulated when Simon referred to a mysterious object called "washing-up liquid." As in, "that sounded like a washing-up liquid ad from the 60s."
Ironically, this whole post is entirely about procrastinating from ... doing the washing-up.
I only have one song about it.

Speaking of:
This is in the Foxtel magazine. Ford Ranger is not, as I like to imagine, a closeted 50s matinee idol. It is a car. The sport being sponsored by this car is: cricket. Now, I loves me some baseball and if this ad were about baseball it would be entirely appropriate. Since it is about cricket, however, it is utterly egregious. "Batter" my ass.

That's not an invitation, by the way.

Nathan Bracken said batters about 40 times on BJ & The Boys last night. And most of the rest of them - BJ, AB, June, Flemmo - said it, too.
Appalled.

In the interests of fairness I should note that Fox are now advertising their baseball coverage with the phrase "who are you barracking for?" which I'm pretty sure is a phrase which would pass no American sportsfans lips. I guess they are worried some random south australian senator will complain if they say 'rooting.' Heh.
