WTF Wednesday: John Waters Hits the Road

Filed under: WTF Wednesday — Tags: , — ex-boyfriend @ 5:25 pm

Film director and filth elder John Waters is apparently hitchhiking around the midwest and got picked up by a touring indie rock band (the lucky bastards!). Be careful out there, Mr. Waters. Please don’t end up like this guy!

WTF Wednesday: The Best in (banned) Townie Advertising

The other night we were at the gym watching TV (we do our best calorie burning while hypnotized) when an ad for our favorite local personal injury lawyer came on. We love his ads because he’s more or lessĀ  insane and is always making references to urine, which is pretty random and gross, but also hilarious. He was growling into the camera angrily about insurance companies, as usual, and across the bottom of the screen it said “See Our Website For the Commercial That Was Banned in Baltimore!”

The wife immediately turned to me and said, “I know what we’re doing when we get home!”:

I am not sure why it was banned, maybe the “when I sue the bastards” line was a little much, or perhaps the oh-so accurate facsimile of the Geico Money Pile was just too close to the real thing, or Comcast was afraid that the gecko-rights activists might be up in arms over Barry’s treatment of the not-at-all-rubbery-looking lizard being thrown at him, but to me it still seems pretty tame. Anyway, Barry Glazer is great. I like to imagine John Waters writes and directs his ads. Zap!
