Brent Sienna drives a MINI!!

I don't believe we've ever seen his car before, but I thought that was fun. I wonder if he got it in a color to match his iMac.

ETA: mekle just IM'd me to point out that my brain has, in fact, turned to swiss cheese -- sending me to this PVP strip from back in April. And I remember laughing about that one, because rackham has had both types of cars mentioned... he currently drives a MINI, which he got to replace his old 1974 VW Beetle.

Freaky Mail Day

Today, I received a first: State Farm mailed me an ad... in Chinese. I don't read or speak Chinese and I don't even have a vaguely Chinese looking name. I guess it could be argued that my first name is a form of Chinese money (my in-laws brought some back for me from one of their many visits to China) and my last name might possibly sound like it could be Chinese, or at least from somewhere in Asia... but this is printed material, so I'm not sure where the correlation might be. It also seems like a great big waste of money to be cold-mailing out Chinese language ads to the population at large, in hopes of hitting the relatively small number of households that would be able to understand it. Color me flumoxed.

Also included in today's mail call... the My Twinn catalogue. I have no clue how I got on their mailing list, since we have no children and, other than action figures, I really can't stand dolls. Even worse, I happen to think these "My Twin" dolls are incredibly creepy... I mean, have you seen these things? Essentially, the company sells dolls that are designed to look exactly like the child they're intended for and, no offense to anyone who loves these them or may have bought one for a child, I think the results are quite shudder-worthy. It's the stuff of nightmares.

And to further add to the creepiness factor... the company sells matching Mother-Daugher-Doll outfits.
