I stumbled upon this idea I had way back when Bud Light had their Real American Heroes/Real Men of Genius commercials. To give you an idea of how old this idea is, it was at a time when we had cell phones, not smartphones. I thought it would be appropriate to share now, maybe they… Continue reading Bud Light Real American Heroes – Mr. Public Restroom Cellphone Talker Guy

Sears Problem Is Not the Internet
Sears was an online retailer before the internet was a thing. It’s failing because it’s poorly run. Customer service is atrocious. Online, staff is usually ignorant on how to resolve your problem.

Shock Top, Taking Your Concerns “Very Seriously”

It’s how a company responds to those problems that makes them great, and I have consistently had a great experience with Amazon. Most recently, I had an issue with a… Continue reading One Reason Why I Continually Shop Wtih Amazon
DC Comics Sea World Ad from 1977
I thought this old ad from one of my comics was neat. There’s a coupon to save $0.75 off each Sea World park ticket. It might not seem like a lot, but remember tickets were probably $20 a piece or less at the time.
Walt Disney World Orlando VS Universal Orlando Resort
I was browsing Google Maps recently and noticed how large Walt Disney World Orlando is compared to Universal Orlando Resort. In the image below you can see Disney in the purple, and Universal in the red. To be fair, the purple is only the land Disney owns, and not necessarily their entire resort. With Universal,… Continue reading Walt Disney World Orlando VS Universal Orlando Resort
