I

I pretty much tune out all advertising because I’ll be damned if the Scrubbin’ Bubbles guy date rapes me again, but one piece of advertising that’s caught my eye is the Kobe Bryant and LeBron James puppets for Nike. So someone took one of their commercials and made a very funny parody.

I don’t know if this is going to lead into a joke, but I’ve been wanting a Muppet version of myself for a long time now. They make them at the FAO Schwartz location in NYC, but I haven’t had time time or followthrough to do it. I tried to convince my girlfriend that we should get matching Muppets and she said, “Yeah, we sure should,” but I think she was being patronizing and/or a dick. I think I’d just display the Muppet in the apartment. Though I think there would be some comedic value in my girlfriend coming home one day and finding me facef’ing her Muppet, then telling her that it’s not what it looks like.

Point being: There has been nothing in the world that couldn’t be enhanced by Muppets. You could probably reinstitute torture and, so long as it was done by Muppets, everyone would be thrilled.
