...followed by a reprise of the second verse with the inspired vocal filler "We got a chicken in the barn/ Whose barn? What barn? My barn!" (the drums whacking the "whose-what-my" to give it extra force and fun), then two softer, near-spoken verses - one with the ad-lib "You can shake it one time for me" and a brief impression of the Elvis baritone ("Did you hear me, I said come on over, baby" but, in the Presley style, omitting all consonants), the second a little sermon on shakin' ("All ya gotta do, honey, is kinda stand...
...immense: similar to Napster’s effect on the music industry, TiVO allows us to essentially create our own television stations, with only the shows we want to watch, whenever we want. But more importantly, TiVO gives us the technology to skip over commercials. In fact, an Ad Age article recently reported that 72.3 percent of all PVR users already zip through most commercials, Britney Spears’ salacious Pepsi spots notwithstanding. It’s a boon for viewers, but a setback for the already-slumping advertising industry...

An early romantic harbinger was an affectionate ad Affleck took out in The Hollywood Reporter congratulating her on a ShoWest award. He praised her "astonishing talent, real poise and true grace" and concluded, "I only wish I were lucky enough to be in all your movies." And they call P. Diddy a player...
...While I was impressed by the "100% herbal" part, I must admit: My breasts are every bit as big as they have to be. But the ad did have a therapeutic side effect. It helped remind me of Russ Meyer's crucial spot on the American spectrum. The filmmaker who uncaged Bosomania as a movie genre is part, and partial progenitor, of a breast-worshipping subculture (or bust-culture) that demands women carry treasure chests, whether real or artificially augmented. Bigger breasts: Men will look. Available from a plastic surgeon near you. Ladies, don't be satisfied with nature...
