Are the Oscars just Pointless???

 We all know what happened when the best pictures winner was announced.
          We all thought, along with the audience and everyone watching that La La Land was the winner, well guess what. Something happened to prove that they were wrong.

It seemed that Faye Dunaway and Warren Batey were announcing the winners, and it took them a pretty long time for them to announce the winner and it seemed after the La La land crew came up on stage to accept their award, it seemed there was some commotion going on according to Jimmy Kimmel who talked about it over his talk show the next day.

      Eventually, coming clean, the producers of La La land said that they lost and said that Moonlight won best picture.
   

   This has happened before in the Oscars, believe me. Not the first time, but this year, I couldn't believe it, and neither would the producers of Moonlight a story about a kid who lives his life in three ways: a child, a teenager and an adult.

   I was in Jersey when this event happened, had to wake up my mom because I couldn't believe myself on what was happening, let alone knowing Jimmy Kimmel saying that he blamed Steve Harvey for what happened.

      I know it wasn't Warren's fault. It was someone backstage mixing up folders and given Faye and Warren the wrong one. 

           And there was more than one screw up that was happening and nobody knew it until the next day and it was in the in memoriam segment. Her name is Jan Chapman and apparently she knew the late Janet Patterson.

   Well from one insanity to the next. It has happened before, like someone streaking nude in the 70's Oscars and well, Sandy Davis Jr. reading the wrong card (Deja vu) It seems the Oscars aren't taken as serious as they used to be. It seems to be more of a joke to some people, but I am a movie buff and believe me I love to see what they wear and pray that next year it won't be too annoying, or be so much on politics but we'll see.

   I'm happy for who won and, I guess I would love to see Hidden Figures, Fences and Lion. The rest not too much.
   Ciao for now bloggers!!!

The Black Pearl- Kitchen Nightmares

    Oh what an episode I witnesses. Taking place around 2008, and it was in New York City a place called: "The Black Pearl" Restaurant. Ramsay usually helps people out with restaurants in the UK, but this was taken place during the first season when he filmed the US version and he had to taste some horrible food in some places and this was one of them.
        First off, it was being run by what he would call a three headed monster. Brian the unknown, Greg the klutz and David the jackass. Spatializing in Maine lobster, or so he thought, he tried many lobster dishes and was not pleased. What he was pleased with was a server named Steven who was generous to him.
   Soon the food got worse and worse, and the owners (or just David) was just being condescending the whole time to him. Back talking and just being a jerk.

   Greg, was confusing himself with the orders, screwing everything up, and not knowing what was going on. Brian, was just rarely there.

   Ramsey was just upset with all of them, especially with David. David was like a cockroach you wanted to squash. And what Ramsey always thought is that David thinks it just a TV show, but to Ramsey, it never was.

    With other restaurants he goes into, sometimes it's a hit or miss and this one was a definite miss. After he changed it around, putting a lobster tank in and making it bright and everything, to their liking and signing it all to Greg, David was still not happy and four days later after the filming, Black Pearl was no more.

    In a recreant episode he did where he goes back to find out how the Black Pearl was doing only to find out another restaurant took it's place. He contacted Steven, who eventually went on to do some movies years later. He explained to Ramsay that they all closed the Black Pearl, sold the lobster tank and David said that he blamed it on Ramsay with a note.

  

  Ramsey was upset to hear about but was happy to hear that Steven was doing ok.

   Not every restaurant in Kitchen Nightmares does well. Almost every one of them are already closed or abandoned. Only a few are still around. Why they wanna be on TV and ruin their restaurants reputation I do not know, but Ramsay will always be there to call them out on their stupidity. Till then, Ciao bloggers, and believe me there's another one worse than is, but will be for another day.

   

Charmin commercial past and future

   I know, I know... this is weird that I am talking about toilet paper but believe me. Seeing nothing but bears talking about going to the bathroom, and not using the woods is so dumb, that I wonder if Mr. Whipple is rolling in his grave.

   Who is, or was Mr. Whipple? Well it all started when Charmin was bringing out it's toilet paper and how squeezably soft it really was, they brought in a man, played by the late John Chervokas, portraying him in the 1970's.

  He was always called, Mr. Whipple and would go around many grocery stores telling women "Not to squeeze the Charmin.", but they wouldn't listen, and eventually he would end up squeezing it as well, proving that they were right all along.

   He did some more interesting Charmin videos from the 1970s to mid 90s when he left because he got sick. Then he did one more and left for good and passed away with a Charmin in his hand.

   I felt after that, Charmin commercials were never the same anymore. All they had were bears explaining how great and soft Charmin was. I don't know who thought it would be great to bring bears into a Charmin commercial, but it seemed to have worked for them. For me, I think the old vintage, Mr. Whipple ones are the ones I remember the most. I don't of bears when I think of Charmin, I want to think of how great the product is by squeezing it, but then again, I don't use Charmin, I just remember the old commercials that my family grew up with.

  My nana used Charmin a lot and I couldn't stand it because of well... I'm not gonna explain but now marketing is going crazy with making products kid friendly or creepy looking for the masses.

   They used to have a friendly looking Trix rabbit and Lucky Charm fella but now, they are nightmares to stare at. The marketing department must have gotten lazier, I doubt a kid would want to look at a Trix cereal box now and eat it because of the image of a frightening rabbit.
  Even if they are saying they're using a real rabbit on their box, it's not gonna change anything, but it wouldn't hurt their marketing sales.
Charmin would be forever known as the man who came around telling people not to squeeze their product, not bears that won't go in the woods saying buy strong or soft Charmin and find out for yourself why less is more.
   Marketing, you can't always think that a bear will be the best answer, in my opinion, it's kind of creepy. The same way bringing Corneal Sanders from the dead to sell KFC chicken is. Till then, enjoy not squeezing the Charmin and remember a great man named Mr. Whipple is trying not to squeeze clouds in the sky.
  
  Whatever Charmin does, don't bring him back from the dead. But find a better way to make a better commercial. Ciao for now Bloggers and don't squeeze the Charmin.
