What Can White Do For Brown?
The UPS "White Board" ads are genius.
Don't know what I'm talking about? No worries. You can watch them all here (click on TV Spots).
Easy to understand. Makes boring concepts interesting through visual and colloquial storytelling. Add a dash of humor to humanize it ever more. Not bad, eh?
The old principle holds true: KISS Keep It Simple Stupid. These spots justify that logic.
What do you think?

That's not the cool part, though. When we walked into John Michaels Jewelers, the sound on the P.A .: "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. That's the song that we dancing our first dance as husband and wife, too.

But. This. Is. Awesome.
I know it's a steam machine...the same stuff that dry cleaners use, but I don't care. I'm a crappy ironer...when I actually do it. And, with Kirsten's job...this is perfect...it'll pay for itself in a few months.
This is the perfect wedding gift...and don't think I'm not throwing out hints for it now.

With that, I give you the Sports Guy's latest picking from his March Madness bushel of posts and articles.
Let's just say methinks I'm justify in my immense detest for all things Billy Packer.
Please, O Basketball Deities, give us more of the other Bill...a more talented Bill...Bill Raftery. I beg of you....with a kiss!
