Just a quick one today. And, I must be honest, this thought has been on my mind for the last two weeks or so, but it took me popping over to Swaim's new article today to remind me. So, if it seems like I'm just copying him, I'm not. Swaim is a comic genius. I'm just an annoyed blogger.
Anyway, he just reminded me that if I ever find the guy at Time Warner Premier Parks who greenlit the UNFATHOMABLY OBNOXIOUS ADS for Six Flags all last summer, I'm going to kick him in the crotch repeatedly, until he begs me to kill him. Then I'm going to find some Japanese guy and pay him 100 bucks to just stand there and scream in the Time Warner Premier Parks guy's face for a couple of hours.
So this year, apparently the ad agency decided that people weren't responding well to the disembodied head of a Japanese hipster from the future screaming in your face about flags: They've replaced it with the screaming disembodied head of an unbelievably creepy-looking bald fake old guy, hoping that it would be more user-friendly. It's not. It's worse:
Burn in hell, Six Flags commercials.
EDIT: Apparently Time Warner sold the Six Flags chain to Premier Parks in 1998, something of which I was completely unaware until today.
