Carl Jr's Robot Commercial



This Carl's Jr commercial is great.  It really affects me more than it should.  That robot is so ready to eat that chicken sandwich then it can't.

I mean that's tragedy.  Probably the first time the robot realizes it's not a human, and it's so depressed at the end.

You can't help feel bad for the robot.  The 30-second commercial is as surprisingly sad as the movie "Jack."

You go in expecting a light and stupid Robin Williams comedy because nothing else is on TV then it gets all serious and sad out of nowhere.

I'm a little concerned that I feel worse for that robot in commercial than I do for some people in real life, but that robot is also better than some people .

Mr. Saxobeat



If you still doubted that the sax is really back,  then "Mr. Saxobeat" proves it.

I randomly heard this song by Romanian pop star Alexandra Stan and couldn't believe it was real.

She actually made a song about how much she loves the saxophone and/or a saxophone player.

Naturally because it's about the saxophone it has to be sexual.  Sorry, those are just the rules.

Since "Mr. Saxobeat" is a Romanian song, it's completely possible that the 80s saxophone craze just reached Romania.

But it's not just a Romanian thing as it's popular in Europe, Canada, Latin America and is even in the U.S. Billboard  Hot 100.

The best part of it has to be the video though.  It's further proof that almost everything on TV in Europe is either porn or very close to it.

Its plot of three femme fatals getting arrested then using their charm to escape is straight out of a porn.

For a second, I was worried that I was unknowingly watching one until I remembered it was youtube.

The women seem to spend a lot more time dancing in an alley in police uniforms than escaping.

When they finally do,  nobody happens to notice that the women dressed like strippers pretending to be cops aren't real cops.  

And for all this talk about "Mr. Saxobeat," there's not even a saxophone or saxophone player in the video.

Although, I think deep down we all know who her "Mr. Saxobeat" is.  She's not fooling anybody.

There's only one guy who could inspire her like that: Sergey Stepanov aka  Epic Sax Guy.
