This is just around the corner from the “roller coaster.”
But think about it. If she’s a real patient, shouldn’t they show, well, her breasts? Not like that, you pervert, in a bikini or something! Gyms tend to show before-and-after (or just after) shots of people with muscled or trim torsos. The whole reason you put an “actual customer” in the ad is to show the results, right?
(Oh, this journal is going to end up getting filtered for sure!)
The mystery of where the Farscape miniseries will air has been answered! From Sci-Fi Wire [archive.org]:
SCI FI announced it will be bringing back Farscape with an all-new miniseries — called Farscape: Peacekeeper War — slated to air in the fourth quarter of this year.
WTF? OK, it’s not the last place I’d expect – that would be Fox, or maybe Lifetime – but the Sci Fi Channel has spent the last year and a half distancing itself from Farscape, and a good chunk of that trying to move away from actual science fiction. I guess Dune must have done better than Scare Tactics.
Hmm, it might be worth getting cable again.

Congratulations to the Farscape cast and crew! We’ll be watching!
On the trip to Ikea to get the patio furniture, we had a Choo-Choo Bear sighting in the parking lot–an auspicious beginning to any shopping spree, if you ask me.
Me: “For $1.99, you want to get one and paint eyes on it?”
Kelson: “For $1.99, why not?!”
On the way home tonight, we saw this billboard advertising Queer as Folk:
(Sorry about the image quality – there’s not much time to compose a shot when you’re trying to pull out the camera while driving by at 40 mph!)
I got this ad a few years ago in my Science Fiction Book Club mailer and kept it for the fall-on-your-ass-laughing value. What with the picking out of china patterns that goes along with modern weddings, it seemed perfect to trot out now.
I’ve tried to find out if it’s possible to get just a set of mugs, which it wasn’t at the time. Maybe I should start hunting around on eBay……
Ever feel like the universe is screwing you over?
I don’t get what it’s saying. Maybe there’s a hidden message on it.
