At the end of each Chuck Lorre episode, there flashes a so-called Vanity Card It is mostly drivel ..  just the thoughts that came pouring out. And since Chuck is a funny guy, they are usually funny .. though sometimes very dark. He has decided it is a chore to do those cards, so I find myself moved to pick it up.


Vanity Card #1

I saw a great ad on TV last night. KFC poked a little fun at store-bought roast chicken. Mom and Dad are about to cut into yet another plastic container of chicken and they look around the room. A kid is stomping around in a space suit made of discarded chicken containers. There's a plant hanging from the ceiling in a discarded chicken container. They move aside a dining room centerpiece made of discarded chicken containers and put a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. The reason I found this ad notable, is it is the first ad that I can recall scanning backward to see over again. it took my two tries to "get" the space suit. In this age of super repeated dull boring attack advertising, I find it refreshing that an ad can be so entertaining that it fought my senses to break through to the point where I Tivo'd back to it.
