marketers, taste, and the lowest common denominator

Today I learned by accidentally watching a commercial that Charmin thinks people use toilet paper that balls up or shreds on their, um, tailfeathers, thereby implying that they think Americans are incapable of selecting amongst the myriad of non-defective paper products offered in our ridiculously diversified marketplace.

In other news, I found a handy list of Chinese restaurants in Tucson, which, according to the list, has a #1 Chinese restaurant, a best Chinese restaurant, and one of the top 10 in the US Chinese restaurants. That's a pretty impressive bunch of restaurants, assuming you agree with any of the people who voted for the first one or reviewed the second or third ones.

And 'ridiculous' looks a little funny spelled correctly if you spend any time on the internet. I understand it only takes 10 or 20 years for common misuses/misspellings to become accepted.

Also, and probably most important, if someone suggests you look up dingleberries on the internet, do not click on the link for poopreport.com. You have been warned.
