Match.com Has The Perfect Ad To Celebrate The End Of 2020

Satan and the year 2020 were a match.com
made in (not) heaven 
The year 2020 was like a bad relationship. (2021 isn't off to a great start either, but that's another story).

But veterans of romances that did not work out still know there's somebody for everyone.   Match.com knows this, too, and in a fantastic recent commercial, proves it. 

In the ad, Satan is on his lair in hell when his cellphone buzzes.  It's Match.com announcing "You're a match!" with a prospective dating partner. 

Satan goes for it, and decides to meet this person in a rainy park.  The woman turns out to be the year 2020.

You can see both are immediately smitten and a conversation, awkward at first, begins

2020: "So ,where are you from"

Satan: "Hell.'

2020: "Me too."

Proving that Match.com really works Satan and 2020 really hit it off. They generate electricity with each other when they first meet in that park (via scary lightning bolts).The pair enjoy a picnic on the 50 yard line of an empty football stadium, closed by the pandemic. They work out at a gym together, again closed by the pandemic.

The fun loving couple also steal armloads of toilet paper from a restroom.  Through the ad, as true love blooms between 2020 and Satan, the Taylor Swift hit song "Love Story" plays in the background.

And yes, the sweethearts pose for a selfie together next to a Dumpster fire. 

I first learned of this ad when the prudes at this outfit called One Million Moms objected to the ad.   This outfit, whose membership is likely in the thousands at most, hates anything with a sense of humor. The moms here are particularly incensed by the scene in the ad in which 2020 playfully tries to drag Satan into a church.  .

The One Million Moms press release huffs: 

"(The ad) makes light of hell and the eternal dangers of the demonic realm. One Million Moms does not want viewers to be deceived by this unbiblical depiction of Satan and hell."

Whatevs. 

 Here's the Match.com ad. As always click on the YouTube logo to make the video bigger and easier to view.

Time To Ban Gender Reveal Parties

Image
A colorful but destructive gender reveal party in Arizona about five years ago. It's a boy! It's also a destructive wildfire that caused $8 million in damage!  In the past month two people have died participating or planning gender reveal parties. It's the latest disaster caused by people trying to outdo each other. Stop!  In recent years these parties started at least two major western wildfires and inspired zillions of gender reveal party pratfall videos.  The problem seems to be the idea has taken off, and people insist that each gender party has to play out much more elaborately than any previous one.   In the most recent incident, a father to be died while working on a device for his child's gender reveal. According to the New York Post: "Christopher Pekny, 28, was working on the device for his child's gender reveal part in the Catskills town of Liberty when it blew up just before noon on Sunday.  The blast killed Pekny and injured his brother, 27-year-old

My Annual Darlene Love Christmas Tradition Screwed Up By What Else? Covid. Still Making It Work, Though!

Image
 Every year for the past I don't know how long now - at least a decade - I've posted Darlene Love's annual TV performance of her classic "Christmas Baby (Please Come Home).   For the past few years, she's done this on the chat fest show, "The View." It isn't happening this year. Yes, Covid got in the way again.  Thankfully and most importantly, Love seems to be A-OK. One of her band members tested positive, so the entire band was quarantined.  In a video i nterview last Friday with The View, Love says she feels fine. She said she's fully vaccinated, had her booster shot, and also a flu shot.  The band member who tested positive with a probable breakthrough infection was also fully vaccinated, rendering that person a bit less likely to spread the virus.  The quarantine was lifted last weekend, and Love was once again able to give public performances. o You can't stop tradition, so I'm using that video for this year's Darlene Love salut

Reviving The Blog , Sort Of, In Time For Christmas. With Karens!

Image
A Christmas fright from Karens!  Just for laughs and giggles, I've decided now, after the gardening season ended, that I have time to devote to this blog thingy, so I'm reviving it. At least for awhile.  This blog has mostly been on hiatus since spring, since I didn't have time to deal with it. But let's go for broke.  Since it's the Christmas season, let's start with the holiday spirit, if you will. With Karens, since they've been all the rage - literally - this year. Jimmy Kimmel recently had a fantastic holiday Karen segment that you have to watch.  It starts pretty frighteningly, with a woman doing an anti-vax version of Mariah Carey's Christmas classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You."   Sweet Mariah can sing this lovely song. Anti-vax Karen.......cannot. Anti-Vax Karen, "performing" at a San Diego county board meeting, reworked the lyrics into extreme nonsense. Worse, her singing voice is about as good as the tragic sound of
