Nobody Uses the Internet on Fridays
Posted on 18 December 2009
I woke up this morning filled with season’s cheer. Or beef sticks. I get confused between the two. Either way, I have the holidays on the mind. Since no one uses the internet on Fridays, I’m going to sneak in a few fun videos I came across.
Look at those awesome toys. Toys that prepare kids for careers in agriculture, sciences, and factory work seemed quite the thing back then. I can’t help but if that trend continued what the counterparts would be for our culture today? If I was clever I’d insert all sorts of one off cliched jokes about working at fast food restaurants, sitting in cubicles, and watching Powerpoint presentations but I won’t because those jokes would be silly.
Modern toys seem less than educational.
I guess this commercial at least teaches the skill of how to be a hairdresser. That is good preparation for the future.
There we go, toys for the holidays. Happy Holidays! There, I did my part for the war against Christmas. Do I get a medal now?

After watching a few episodes of The Rockford Files this weekend, I really appreciated the writing and modern sensibility we got from Veronica Mars. Can we please get Veronica Mars F.B.I.?
