Ferris Bueller's Day Off with Honda

Okay, let me just first say...Yea!!!! Gen-X stuff!  I love nostalgia! I just watched the Ferris Bueller Honda commercial with Matthew Broderick and I liked it. It made me laugh. He of course is older and chunkier, but still that baby face we all love. Everyone is already arguing that Honda gets lost in the action, but it made an impression on me. People, at least Gen-Xer's will be talking about it. I do have some questions though. Why the big panda and why the Chinese New Year's parade? Is Honda targeting Chinese Americans?  Maybe. Anyway, It worked for me. I think, any Gen-Xer would love to play hooky and be Ferris for a day.  I might have added some of his side-kicks from the movie though. Maybe the principle could have been the car boy, or a shot of his sister with charlie sheen would have been cool. Either way, I thought it was fun and memorable, and I think Honda will get some good buzz.

I need some Arctic Cloudberry. Do you have any? If you have a jar of Lumene  from Finland you have, "The power of Arctic Cloudberry." I just got a new magazine called New Beauty and within the first 40 pages of the magazine there are 21 advertisements for some kind of wrinkle cream.  Wow, so this tells me that part of their target market must be generation X, yea! What really struck me about the Lumene ad was the pictures of all these yellow orangish berries, that they say grow in the Arctic, yes I said grow.  I thought nothing grew in the Arctic. I thought it was full of ice and snow, but apparently these berries grow there and if you put them on your skin, you will be radiant, or at least your skin will be. Of course the model in the ad is blond and has glowing skin. She kind of looks like she's from Finland. Maybe she is. So what happens when a dark-haired Italian girl puts Lumene on her skin? Will her skin glow too? Will she start to look Finnish? I wonder?  Sometimes ads are just about a fantasy, and I like it that way. Real life is stressful, so let me go buy some Lumene with it's amazing Cloudberries and at least fantasize about being a young, blond, radiant, Finnish girl.
