And now the Pawn Stars?

I can usually only stand to watch those kind of shows for one season, then between seasons they get used to being famous and when they come back their heads swell out of proportion and they become unbearably obnoxious.
 
For some reason, on tv, it always sounds like they are saying, "coming up next, the p0rn stars"...I don't know why! :eviltongue:

My friend's mom has a strong New York accent, and she loves this show as well as Hardcore Pawn. I burst out every time she pronounces the titles.



Anyways, I don't like this show anyway. They just seem to be a bunch of two-bit crooks. They had my interest at the beginning because you do learn some interesting bits of history and trivia.

ROFL. I've seen this kind of thing enough times from Google. :rolleyes:

All I'm thinking is, don't bring your Chromebook to China, you might be disappointed.

Microsoft is not running the Scroogled campaign here, think it's US only. Although they could do "Don't get Baidu'd" or something.

What is Pawn Stars anyway? Sounds like one of those "Cash Converters" or "CEXX" type places. They'll offer you an absolute minimum for whatever you're trying to sell, and then sells second hand stuff for almost new prices while pretending it's new. Don't like those kind of places myself. I know with Cash Converters in the UK, they wouldn't even look at a PC or laptop unless it had a valid Windows license, Apple excepted. But this was before Chromebooks came out.

They probably are, and I hope it continues for quite a while. Those commercials are about the only really funny things around.

Yeh. Thought the "Teaching Moment" one was amusing. where the girl tells her mum what she learned in school today..."Learned how to get a free credit report, how to refinance my home mortgage and how to get a deal on vitamin supplements." :D ..those are very much the ads I see when I VPN into the US, and I am a middle school teacher. Although to be fair it's not just Google's ads doing it, it's very much all of them, including Bing.

Thing is, love or hate Microsoft's "Scroogled" ads, it's got people talking about them and the popular blogs very active on it. That to me means it's a successful campaign. That's what the ad-agency and the client wants, for people to think and talk about them and remember the brand and/or product they're trying to sell. It happened with Apple's long running "Mac vs PC" ads. I was listening to Leo Laporte "The Tech Guy", and "Scroogled" was the first thing he talked about.
 
MS plans on "bingifying" everything eventually. None of those ads would move me to buy either product. I can enjoy the nonsense without that urge.

I used to use bing, but that's because they paid me. It worked, made like $60 off bing. Now, I use a different search engine that pays even more than bing.
 
That idiot Chumlee and Honey Boo Boo are rich and famous because they're on tv. Yeah, that's the country we live in.:(

I really don't like the idiots on TV. It's kinda sick to see an idiot like them become so successful just for being an idiot. Makes all my hard work seem useless.
