Mushnick seldom disappoints:
"Seems as if everything now comes packaged in bogus hype, bubble wrap pumped with gas. Soon, straight addition — two-plus-two — will be presented as limited edition, act-now, must-see math."
Yeah, and those kids skateboarding on the sidewalk.
" 'Hi, I’m Henry Winkler, here to tell you about the latest, greatest offer on earth — a triple-reverse mortgage!' "
How's Chachi?
"Even an 18-second, in-game promo narrated by Michael Kay during Friday’s Yankees-Red Sox YES telecast, was loaded with moron-targeting bunk."
Well, you've got to admit, there's lots of morons.
"One of the hottest collectibles of the season? Given that Matsui last played for the Yankees in 2009, it sounded more like souvenir shop surplus, a warehouse space-killer, a collectible in that it collects dust."
They totally exaggerated in their promo!
"Or did the Yankees — having announced a Matsui Day back in April — actually then order the manufacture of 18,000 Matsui-in-Yankee-uniform 'hot' collectibles four years after he left? Anything’s possible."
I don't know which it is.
Did the Yankees have pre-existing Hideki Matsui bobblehead dolls collecting dust in a warehouse?
Or did the Yankees order the manufacture of 18,000 Mastui-in-Yankee-uniform "hot" collectibles four years after he left the Yankees?
The world may never know.
Anything is possible.
Anything.
Is.
Possible.
"Even more ridiculous, the full-screen billboard read that the bobbleheads would be given to the first “18,000 guests in attendance.”
Guests? When did customers become guests? When’s the last time you charged your guests 40 bucks to park — just for starters?"
Yeah!
You get 'em, Phil!
You know what happens, don't you? First, bobblehead doll promos exaggerate the importance of the bobblehead dolls ... then, the world start substituting "guest" for "customer" ... and, the next thing you know, cats are living with dogs and Socialist Americans are putting mustard on their french fries.
