Oddities

Ok, now this is really cradle-to grave marketing. Today I received an offer from the Gerber Life Insurance Company for funeral expense insurance. Yup, the baby food company has a life insurance division. Talk about getting your customers early and keeping them forever.

From ABC's The Note comes a column in the Des Moines Register which The Note says won its daily award for ROFL.

If I only recognize one song (really!) on VH1's 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs, I suppose if it's number one that counts for something, right? (Link snagged from Off the Kuff).

I wonder what their criteria were for the list. Some of these are, yes, awesomely bad (the Billy Joel one in particular!), but I wonder what their reasoning was behind the inclusion of, say, Broken Wings (bland but inoffensive IMO).

I don't know what the criteria was; I was too busy being astonished that I couldn't recognize a thing. I've been an NPR listener for 13 years, but I still hear music sometimes! ;)
