Analyze This - Better Homes and Gardens (March, 2009) :)

One more thing... I’d really like to see the Barefoot Contessa’s feet... I have a foot fetish. That’s what they call it. IMO, there’s nothing wrong with me at all, it’s just that I recognize women’s legs end at the toes rather than the ankles.

I couldn't be any more opposite, feet gross me out, he he.

I have an Otari MX-55 NII, but mine looks a little different.

That is a shame. You know, you're missing out on lots of good stuff about women's feet... like Revlon Cherry Berry #280 nail polish on her toes and ankle braclets with dangly jingly things on them. Bet ya never saw a belly dancer.

 

[themaddog]

I've seen some belly dancers, and dated a girl who went on to become a belly dancer of sorts, he he.

That should be an Ampex 350-4, but it wouldn't fit on the table.

....The deck/tape/mic stand is supposed to be newer. The quote is "it only looks like the real thing". If they actually went out and got the real period stuff, then the ad would make no sense. They are selling fake laminate flooring. All that stuff is supposed to be wrong.

I dig your logic Actually I thought about it in that "direction"... but it didn't calculate well in my mind as "probable scenario" in this case. I kind of have hard time believing that the guys responsible for the add actually INTENTIONALLY picked up a newer machine. Just imagine them discussing the details...heh heh

But, back to the "point" here: To me, young Dean Marting listening to Otari MX-55 looks just as real as young Dean Martin listening to Bose SoundDock with iPod.
So, I'd say, the more to the point (the one, that NOT TO BE MISSED, that is) slogan should rather be:
"It Only Looks Like A Real Thing, if you don't know a thing about The Real Thing"

or!!!!, if all the details in the add were specifically and carefully precalculated by designers, then the point of the add would be specifically as this: "If you don't know what real hard wood floor looks like, then Armstrong Laminate Flooring looks to you as real as it gets" ..heh heh

This reminds me of when I saw The Talented Mr. Ripley in the theater about ten/eleven years ago. I was obsessed with 1950s and 1960s Italian motor scooters (Lambrettas, Vespas) and I was really digging on all of the scooters they had in the film....

Except, all throughout the film, I kept saying things like "That's a GS 160... they didn't make those until 1961! And that Series III TV-175 doesn't belong here! I don't think Lambretta made that until blablablabla...."

The point being,
Sometimes you should just sit back and enjoy the film

Jeff, I tried to give you rep for that one but apparently I need to "spread it around" first...

One of my first girlfriends when I was a teen went on to become a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and then became a porn star. I was her first ever boyfriend, her first kiss and her first a lot of things, so I've always sort of blamed myself for the porn star thing. Was I a bad influence or something? Well you know you have those thoughts, like what did I do?

Same sort of things bother me about Britney Spears. I kissed Madonna at a party for Belinda Carlisle in Chicago years ago. I didn’t recognize her at first. It was weird because she kisses people she greets and she lingers with the kiss like she knows you a lot better than she does. You’re thinking, ok is this kiss going to stop or are we getting a room? That’s just how she is.

They say when you kiss someone you kiss everyone they’ve ever kissed... oh wait... that’s something else, isn’t it?

Well anyway, it was after Madonna kissed me that she kissed Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV Music Awards. And we all know what happened after that... Britney lost her mind a shaved her head. So I blame myself for that too.

It was a lot like this only Madonna was wearing a green dress and her hair was down... and I have dark shorter hair and I’m a guy. Other than that it was similar but actually longer than the Britney kiss. Life is strange.
