Double O Disappointment

Man I am all excited for my birthday this year, it's on 07/07/07 and we're thinking about vegas. I hear that the aforementioned date has been notorious for weddings this year, and theres no surprise there.

When I heard that James Bond was back, I was appalled when I realized they would be starting the franchise at the end of 2006. Dear god, what a missed opportunity! It should have opened on the first day of 2007!

Then I thought, well the must be waiting to use that marketing technique for the DVD release. No siree, as the DVD comes out this week, there is nery a sign of trying to advertise 007 by using the 2007 date. What gives?

Cherry Coke Cherry

You know what really gets my crap in a bind? This "new" Coca Cola Cherry. Its just so goddamn girly looking. Have you seen it? They've got these feminine cherries floating around a hazy purple background and little fizzies everywhere. Its the dantiest soda in the aisle and I just can't bring myself to buy it. CHERRY COKE was where it was at. Do you remember how great it used to look? Jagged letters, black and red colors. You felt like you were awesome drinking one of those cans or bottles. Then they changed it again, simplified it but it was still good. Solid red and black scheme, less crazy 90's shapes more of a classic coke feel.

But what they've done recently is just wrong. On several occassions I've had that cherry coke craving, wanting to down some with a slice of pizza, but been completely deterred from the botched valentine's day greeting of a label that has been slapped onto that thing. Are they trying to drive away their customers? Coke, change it back please! Redesign quick! It looks lamer than a clearly canadian bottle, it looks diet when its not diet. Its just wrong!
