Advert During Top Chef Rerun

[readingthedark]

Am I the only one who has realized that the Free Credit Report (dot) Com guy singing in the ads doesn't actually speak English?

I'm serious.

I wondered if it was a band I should recognize (like how They Might Be Giants or Stephen Merrit do wonderful commercial jingles) and found out that he's lip-synching phonetically and doesn't speak English.

(I don't think people need to speak English, by the way. I just find it so fun to watch now that I can see that he doesn't know what he's saying and is just trying to wiggle his lips right.)

When I was much younger I wiggled my lips as song lyrics slipped my mind, and I speak English (well, sort of). Now I just blurt out the wrong words. ~mwah!~

Unrelatedly to anything in this post at all—I look forward to reading your Sirenia interviews!

Note: this is intentional snark. All is sarcasm.

These things are always popularity contests. It's lame to try to get a writing gig so epicly special and then find out that it goes to some loser who can't even...oh wait...
