Weird Advertising: Lady Antebellum & Lipton Iced Tea. Bill taught us about tastewater and the joys of the "THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ACTIN Y'ALL" line delivery in an exploration of dumbass corporate synergy between corporate tea and corporate country music. Corporations!

'Leverage,' And The Phenomenon Of The TV Show You Will Never, Ever See Or Think About. Kyle defied readers to prove that TV shows like "Leverage" and movies like those found in the filmography of Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson actually exist. There is as yet no indication that they in fact do.
