The Passion and Hello Kitty: A Perfect Match

Suncoast is a fucked up company... we just got in the new computer which has a streaming video from Corporate HQ. All it basically consists of is a bunch of previews for upcoming DVD releases, commercials for our sales, and random shite that various companies pay us to advertise. It's hella boring but we have to play it 24/7 now and are no longer allowed to play movies in store even to promote upcoming releases and get more reserves. This irks me just because by playing Shrek or Spiderman we get tons of reserves for the sequels.

This really irked me and Crazy Soda Dave, we have so many Daves at our stores that they all have nicknames Old Man Dave named because he's... ehh... old? lol. And Crazy Soda Dave is called that because thanks to his ridiculous soda ordering habits we have 15+ cases of expired soda sitting in our backroom not to mention 20+ about to be expired cases. Yeah, that explains his name pretty well, huh? He orders way too much soda. But we were both annoyed by the new in play system until we noticed one particularly humorous section.

A six minute preview/ad for The Passion complete with an overly perky woman declaring things like...

"The last hours of Jesus' life perfectly portrayed!"

"A controversial film loved by millions!"

"Jesus' suffering shown in every horrible detail!"

Imagine that said in the HAPPIEST voice you can imagine. Yeah, it was fairly warped. That went on for six minutes or so then it cut into... oh yes, Hello Kitty. Crazy Soda Dave and I stared at the TVs in disbelief then broke out into hysterical laughter. I swear, the most inappropriate pairing of previews ever but so funny.

That coupled with seeing Frankenbrow aka Ryan Lavery Lord Jesus Savior of Pine Valley get shot almost dead by Kendall today makes me one happy gal. Even if the preview for the Monday's episode freaked me out. Long haired and blonde Michael Cambias and a gross close up of Frankenbrow's nose hairs? Eww!

Oh yeah, the car roof pooping cat still hasn't dropped one on my plastic Saturn yet. It did vandalize the Shimshebaums car, our sweet elderly Jewish neighbors. Esther was more upset about it than Mordechai. He thought it was funny like the rest of us. I think Esther wanted to throttle me when I told her I saw the offending cat yesterday and let him run off.

Hee. Good thing I didn't tell her I fed the little stinker.
