And Now, Vince's Uncle Roberto On How To Defrost Your Freezer

 Whether you have an older or newer model of refrigerator and freezer, it's always a good idea to keep your freezer clear of frost. Not only can regular maintenance keep your freezer at peak performance, it can also give you room to store more food. Here are the simple steps to easily defrost a freezer:

1) Prepare the area around your fridge/freezer with towels that you don't mind getting a little dirty

2) Unplug your appliance, leave the door open and wait for the ice to melt on its own.

3) If you want to expedite the melting process, you can put a fan near your freezer to help it defrost.

And that's it! Plug your fridge/freezer back in, clean up the area, and you're ready to start using it again!

And speaking of cleaning up, I once drove a group fraternity brothers and a group of sorority sisters separately to a Greek event. And you know what? The sorority sisters were WAY messier, leaving the interior soaking wet with beer and with the floor littered with empties. Some people!

Well, at least they weren't driving drunk. Stay safe, kids!

Dear Taco Bell, Samsung, Pioneer Stereo, Kia Motors, KFC, Miracle Whip, Skechers, Speed Stick, Boost Mobile, Fructis Shampoo, Ray Ban, JC Penney, Bridgestone Tires, Fandango and The Arizona Tourism Board:

It's 2012 (soon to be 2013), guys. Can we cut the crap with showing a group of young people riding around in a convertible as a symbol of "good times" and "freedom?" And not just any group of happy young people- a specifically multi-cultural group of happy young people. It is a tired, hackneyed cliché that needs to drive over the Grand Canyon wearing kerchiefs and holding hands. 

Now, what using this cliché in your commercials tells me is that not only are you unimaginative as an advertiser, you have such fear of offending anyone that you create this utopian bullshit peace-on-earth focus-group-generated gang of freshly-scrubbed teenagers, something I have yet to witness in my lifetime. It's actually more racist when you think about it. "Hey! Look how well the Asian guy gets along with the girl who's half black/half white!"

Also, a convertible? Every fucking time? I realize it makes it easier to shoot the entire group, but it's so weird to see something on TV so often THAT NEVER HAPPENS. Well, maybe in Santa Monica.

Bullshit.

Bullshit.

Bullshit.

You could almost take any of these stock photos, slap a random logo on it, and it would look like something you'd see on TV. That's a good idea. Let's try that now:

Man, advertising is easy.

Awesome YouTube Comment O' The Fortnight

From a page featuring video of a tree branch burning on power lines, a comment by npr101010:

Heroes: The Brynn & Joanne Special Edition

Here's footage of Brynn & Joanne playing dolly with some Heroes action figures, which if you ask me, is far superior to the actual series.

Yikes

Spotted in a Goodwill in Laurel, Maryland, a lamp that defies description:



What's worse, it was one in a set of two.

Bilbo Baggage

In every airport baggage claim area, I've noticed there's always one weird, plaid-patterned plastic bag that gets dumped out on the carousel. What the fuck?


What's in that stupid thing? Food? Laundry? Shitty electronics?


I don't even know where to buy one of those bags. Dollar stores? Talbots? (Yeah, Talbot's stores, that's a burn.) Still, the people who travel with those things fascinate me.


Now what's in the bucket? Hey! You with that stupid bag, come back! Aww man, this is the worst EADJ entry ever!
