A Different kind of Schmear for the Holidays

CBS has a bold new ad campaign for the holidays, suggesting men give their wives the gift of a pap smear for Hanukkah or Christmas.

"

Want to do something special for your woman this Hanukah?" says actor Josh Pais in one. "Schedule her Pap smear. Just a schmear could save her life."

Then, as a shot of an animated menorah comes to life, he adds, "Give the gift that will light up her menorah."

"If your main objective is to offend no one, than you're on a fast track to being irrelevant," Margo, vice president of CBS, says.

Does it come with an assortment of bagels?

A Star Wars Christmas

It aired only ONCE in 1978, and George Lucas may pretend it doesn't exist, but it DID. Chewbacca's family celebrates Life Day, and Princess Leia sings. Merry Christmas and a Happy Life Day to you!


Hat tip: The Movie Blog

I keep showing it to people so they can hold Star Wars in a new light and stop whining about how bad the prequels were (they are not as good as the Original Trilogy, but I dont hate them) and once they are forced to sit through this gem, everything else just looks like a masterpiece.
This copy even has the original commercials that aired with the show, so there is a little bit of nostalgia when ads for Alice, 60 Minutes, and All in the Family come on.

I have always contested that every true Star Wars fan should have to sit through this thing at least once. So this is my public service offering to you.

A Valkyrie Xmas

Hat tip: Spout Blog

I don’t quite understand the inspiration behind the concept, but someone decided to superimpose the heads of the cast from Valkyrie onto little bodies in elf costumes dancing to a disco version of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” (courtesy of JibJab’s Elf Yourself program). Tom Cruise with an eyepatch flailing his arms about like a Nazi Tony Manero is just about the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.

Just what are these guys so excited about? The holidays? The death of Hitler (though not thanks to them)? Or could it be they’re celebrating the fact that the reviews of Valkyrie aren’t as dreadful as many expected? Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the actual movie doesn’t feature any scenes as great as this one.
