Great piece from the Daily Show. My favorite jokes were:- "If you follow the world of sports and/or homosexuality"- Jon going nerdy with three gay wizards: Ian McKellen, Dumbledore and Jason Collins- Video cut getting Obama to say: "[Speaking for Jason] I'm still 7 foot tall and can bang with Shaq."- Jon Stewart and Jason Jones longing for the ability to make Linsanity-like puns that ended with GESPY (Gay-ESPY). In general, I found this a good piece in that it is propelled by an intellectual point (of how a non-flashy coming out is still important and impressibe) with a little light humor around it.
Nike's trying out a new tagline, updating the old, worn-out "Just Do It," to the more modern, relaxed "Just Do It Eventually." That's the best explanation I can think of for their new commercial, which celebrates LeBron James' first NBA title. Jeez, it's like Nike saw this coming a mile away!
The commercial is called "The Ringmaker," and it features an old ringmaker (shock!) who does nothing but watch a decade of LeBron James' failures while he (the ringmaker) fashions a ring (metonym for "championship") for James. That's one patient ringmaker, and one who clearly wasn't bothered by "The Decision."
Nike was on top of the LeBron James championship thing, but does anyone really go crazy for LeBron's shoes? I haven't heard a single story about people pepper spraying each other for Lebrons, so they must not be very popular. Nike will have to work on that. Eventually. Just Do It Eventually.
