Good Job, Algorithm.

 This popped up for me on CNN.com:


Yep, Ritz-Carlton Yachts, you nailed it. I'm in the market for a luxury mega yacht trip to Fiji- something in the 40-60 ft. range, preferably with a bow-forward bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Call me. My tens of thousands are burning in my pocket!

25 Days of Hallmark Movies, Day 22: "Christmas Wonderland" Featuring Kelly Hu


If the title seems average and forgettable, then it perfectly captures its cast and script. Hallmark has released 175 Christmas movies, and I'm willing to bet "Christmas Wonderland" is the most average, middle-of-the-road one of the bunch. And don't let that movie poster fool you– Kelly Hu did absolutely no heavy lifting.





























Romance Factor: 5 out of 10
Christmas Cheer: 3 out of 10
Overall Rating: 4 out of 10
Time Until First Kiss: 01:22:56


Three more to go! We can do this!

New Segment: Package Labels Behind The Scenes

The following packages all have distinctive imagery, so much so that EADJ went behind the scenes to find out what the process was to arrive at these memorable labels:


"Okay, X. I know you're a legendary rapper with a solid street rep, but do you think you could look more like you're smelling the Hot Pocket and maybe giving it a little respect?"


"I hate working with you."

"I hate working with you, too. But it's a paycheck. So suck it up, baby."


"Okay, we need a baby with a possibly mixed ethnic background– someone you couldn't just peg as 'Asian' or 'black.' I know, that's totally racist, but... WHOA, Amber, is that your baby??? He'd be perfect for this!!!!"



"All right, now hold the inhaler up to your face without bringing it all the way up... yes, and cock your head to the side like you're a cool mom and this is no big deal... nice... Hey, are you busy after this shoot? You wanna get some coffee?"


"Wait a minute for the fucking butterfly to land; we have low exposure lighting here. Okay, aaaand... FUCK! It flew off again! Put more of that fucking sugar water on the surface. It's coming back... and... FUCKING FUCK!"
