>> Nerve put together its list of 50 Greatest Commercial parodies of all time. A couple of my faves:
Annuale, a birth control pill that limits your periods to once a year. “And when it is time for your period, hold on to your **** hat.” Relatedly — Has anyone seen Baby Mama yet? How was it?
Steve Martin hawks Penis Beauty Cream. “Just take a small amount and rub gently on the penis for several minutes up to a half hour. You’ll notice a difference right away.”
>> And completely unrelatedly — Did you know that 11 is the largest known multiplicative persistence? Find out what that means, and what’s special about other numbers too. (via Fimoculous)
OMG, I just watched the Annuale comm. so well done and so hilarious!!!!!

I saw Baby Mama last week. It was good. I watched all the clips on YouTube before I went to see it and it kind of spoiled the movie! They showed all the funny parts on YouTube. I love Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. The plot is unoriginal, but it takes some new twists.
