Now for something completely different

by kwellborn on Jul 30, 2007 12:55 PM CDT

For those of you that want to discuss something other than trades. There is another commercial that is bugging. I hate misinformation. Factually incorrect advertisement is ruining America (this may be hyperbole). The commercial that is ruining America is the Capital One commercial that has the lady with a chimpanzee on her back. Why does she have a chimpanzee on her back? Well, I would guess Capital One would like you to think that she has a monkey on her back. IF she had a monkey are her back the commercial would make sense and be kind of funny, but she has an ape on her back. It makes zero sense except for the fact that people are mislead to believe she has a monkey and they think it makes sense. Teaching is hard enough, I don't need Capital One working against me.

Monkeys have tales and climb trees.
Apes have no tales and live on the ground.

BTW - Curious George has no tale so is most likely a "curious little" ape. He does climb trees so he is really neither. It is a cartoon/book so I will overlook this.

Okay... not to be nitpicky

but you were.

Curious George has no tale so is most likely a "curious little" ape.

I think you mean tail. Tale is a story, a fabel, if you will...

Ha...

I knew that looked wrong. But I'm not the one complaining about misrepresenting facts...

Also

People are misled, not mislead.

Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

Time does funny things. The worst of which is, it keeps moving when you don't.

Darn

I thought about proof reading due to the nature of the post, but opted out. I paused on tale vs tail. Good one.

When you say

"stupid shit", do you mean like spelling the word 'you' with a 'u' or stupid like using capitalization at random? This did have meaning. It may not have had baseball meaning, but it does have meaning.

Using the letter 'u' as a word has no meaning. Unless it means that you are a 13 year old girl or not very smart.

Correct my typos and grammar mistakes all you want, but being a jerk is a waste of everyones time.

Maybe

it is women who are ruining America. I get the same response from my wife on these things. We had a 15 minute discussion in the teachers lounge about whether or not Curious George had a tail and the difference between apes and monkeys. The librarian researched for us.

I always wondered

what was discussed behind those teachers lounge doors...

We are

solving the worlds problems, let me tell you. Honestly, some lunch groups spend way too much time griping about their day (aka students) and are just more miserable for it. My lunch group tries to talk about anything but. It has an interesting dynamic to it. My only complaint is that nobody on the Elementary campus wants to talk sports. A few of the ladies husbands follow the Rangers and they will say something about their husband being angry at the game or something, but it is never deeper than that.
