AAAAA REEEEEALLY GREAT DEEEEL on an AU-to-MOH-BEEEEEL: Today I walked down 11th Street on my way home to go shop-pin' at the A & P, passing the usual corner sidewalk vendors who soothe their souls with [C]RAP. So imagine my surprise when out of a sidewalk vendor's boom box emerged a very ac-TORish (and WHITE) voice emoting:

CREAMY CHICKEN ALFREDO!

Now CREAMY CHICKEN ALFREDO! on the radio could only come from a few places: Darden Restaurants, Unilever, Nestlé, or CONAgra. And because this was a corner vendor, and because this was likely Darden Restaurants, Unilever, Nestlé or CONAgra, and because said companies will advertise only where everybody else advertises, which is usually the same three places, that could mean only one source: DUH-BUL-YOU DEEEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAA SSSSSSSSSS. Many people still think it's a locally-owned black station. It's owned by CHEAP CHANNEL. CHEAP CHANNEL's headquartered eiyn Tex-AYSS. LOWSY MAYS was BORN THERE. Which got us to thinking: How many plantation owners are in his bloodline? Dere's whur mah heart iz buuuuuuuurnin' ebberrrrr....

Before I got home a SEPTA bus was advertising Grand Theft Auto IV (WE NEED IT FOR THE REVENUES!!!!!) and a talk radio station: "Intelligent Conservative Radio". Even before David Brudnoy died intelligent talk radio was an oxymoron. Earlier today on the way to a luncheon and listening to NPNTR (National Public NewsTalk Radio) I heard an annoying local interview with a father-son duo, the father being a former fillum cri-TIC who'd written a book about how watching movies with the son made him better. On the way back I heard an annoying network program predicated on the notion the Web didn't exist, in which some high Gallup mucky-muck was blurting over his polls, followed by some asinine female reportER gushing all she didn't know about THE PROMO, which was everything I already knew. I haven't listened to the radio in over a decade, and just going by today I intend never to willingly listen to it again.

P. S. from NPNTR:

...staring Sarah Jessica Parker... [SIC!]

WHO?

(Updated 5/31 at 10:25 a.m. By the way, look carefully at Lowsy's station's home page: the only admission he and his fellow car dealers own it is this:



although the name unaccountably comes up in the Terms and Conditions -- you'd think Lowsy could have come up with a cute legal name, like WDAS Holdings, Inc. or Urban Philadelphia Metropolitan Broadcasting Inc. Somebody must tell them to stop selling those rust-proofing warranties.)
