Why would I want that look?

JCPenny's marketing strategy confuses me. I'm surfing the web and listening to the TV when I hear Don't You (Forget About Me) by the Simple Minds. So all these kids dressed in modern casual clothes are jumping out of cars and going into a high school library (complete with weird sculpture)and dancing, a la Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy circa 1985.


Now, I happen to be old enough to have kids going back to school. And I think I've seen The Breakfast Club about 25 times. (I stopped counting at 20 and I know I've seen it a bunch of times since....my math may be off...but it's not that off.) I think I could tell you what everyone wore in that movie without stopping to think about it. But I'm not sure kids going back to school really want to dress like the people in a movie that their mom watched and thought was cool.

Who is Jacque Penne targeting with this commercial, I wonder? Could it be the mom who spent hours watching and reciting the lines of this cult classic? Would a mom really be interested in dressing her kids like a brain, a basket case, an athlete, a princess or a criminal?

Here...have a look

Election? What election?

I stumbled on this and thought I'd share.

Today Now!: How To Pretend You Give A Shit About The Election

Bad flashback to a bummer trip

I'm studying for my foundations of Catholicism final tomorrow. Give a shout-out to heaven on my behalf please!

I'm specifically looking at scripture references to our fine apostolic succession.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has hand gestures (including jazz hands) to Mt 16: 17 & 18.

Please let me know I'm not alone. Please.

I found...

You must check it out. Especially if you need a laugh.
