09/22/2004: Halloween Countdown: Twix, Snickers and Kit Kat Bars!

The Halloween Countdown rages on with a look at three top drawer treats, Twix, Snickers and Kit Kat bars. They’ve all been blessed with spooky gimmicks to tie in with the holiday, and while arguably the least interesting thing I’ll put on the Countdown this year, it just didn’t feel right to exclude Twix.

Anyway, I’m exhausted — work has really picked up lately, so that matched with all the other bullshit I’m trying to keep going and the fact that Pressy Bush is in town only to make traffic four times worse, I’m just about ready to squeeze myself into a glass bottle and pretend I’m an inanimate fireplace decoration for a week. I’ve helped out on a few things that have been on air, but wanted to hold off on telling you until I had one that was more or less all mine. So, if interested, stay tuned to Nickelodeon on September 27th to see boy who likes commercials write his first ad. Dunno if I can tell you what it’s about yet, so I won’t, but I’ll post all the info on the delivery date. It’s a real short spot, but pretty special to me because the only other thing I’ve done with my life is a pictorial essay featuring Skeletor drinking Pepsi Blue.

My wireless router was being petulant, so I’m catching up on a days wort’ o’technocrap. All I can say is: it should have been orange on the inside and dark on the out. and, now on to other things…

A commercial on Nick? Is there anything worth watching on that channel anymore? I stopped watching after they took You Can’t Do That On Television reruns off the air. I realize how far back this dates me.

Sadly, I work for the ad agency that came up with the idea for the glow in the fucking dark wrappers.

My soul is dying.

The glow in the dark on the candy wrappers is a new technology that some guys in Japan won all kinds of awards for. It’s not radioactive like some older kinds (i had a cousin who died from exposure to the old kind in a clock factory quite a few years ago). OK, so you wouldn’t want to eat it. But it’s OK sandwiched in between layers of plastic; it doesn’t decompose below 1500 degrees C!!
