Golden Globes

Did anyone watch the Golden Globes last night? I only flipped through and of course only caught the commercials....but did anyone see the new commercial for Orville Redenbacher Popcorn?

It was creepy....apparently they've finally been able to recreate a spokesman using computer technology...it was only a matter of time. The commerical is just a little off, I'd say it's about 90% right but there's just something that makes you cock your head, sort of like when a dog does, because it's just....not....right.

Here's a screen grab from the commercial:


There's also an article in USA Today

In German, the verb version of pop has the same meaning as to bonk in English. I can't take a product serious labelled with an instruction like "wait until pop sounds stop"

That sure looks strange. Next thing you know, we'll be seeing Colonel Sanders promoting KFC again!
