Yippee-IA, Motherf***ers! IRRATIONALLY ANGRY PT. 2: Irrationally Angrier

I tweeted about this but everything about this ad makes me IA:

wow, terrible

yeah i can count at least seven things to hate about that.

I really hate domu ads in general but that one is just egregiously awful.

hibiscus, crab apple, old shoe leather, milk chocolate, and unripe avocado

wait what are the two words? there are more than two words there.

are the words 'urban cowboy'.

is that like this

or like this

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/64/Midnight_Cowboy.gif/220px-Midnight_Cowboy.gif

I also got confused because it said "Bud" and "Pilsen" and Bud is a Pilsner beer.

It's taken nearly an hour of head scratching but by jove I think I have it: that charming looking chap is Bud who styles himself as an "urban cowboy", lives in the Pilsen neighbourhood of Chicago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilsen,_Chicago), and can't count.

Yes, correct. Bud lives in Pilsen and is an assho-- I mean "urban cowboy." It's actually a little more obnoxious if you know anything about Pilsen, IMO, which is busy getting gentrified by urban cowboys like Bud.

The "two words" really drove me over the edge. I guess the two words are DOMO and APARTMENT? If I was talking to somebody and they were like, "I will describe my amazing apartment in two words: DOMO. APARTMENT." I would make a rapid exit from the conversation and that person's vicinity.

Yeah I know the Pilsen neighborhood. But it's named after the Czech city, which is where Pilsner beer is from, and also I believe where the original Budweiser beer is from, so I still got confused.

DOMO APARTMENTO, MR. BUD PILSEN

what the hell is domu

I'm imagining bud saying the whole sentence and air quoting the two words. He probably has some particularly annoying hipster version of air quotes.

I also just think "Domu" is a terrible name for a business. It stood out to me (I saw the ads on CTA) last time I was in Chicago as being awful. And I generally hate the genre of ads that are like "here is individualist young person with quirky tastes and s/he uses our service." There was this dating service that I briefly saw a blanket of ads for in NYC that had the same sort of schtick, like "look at the quirky young people you can meet, e.g. this rollerblading metalhead nurse with a rainbow mohawk"

> what the hell is domu

advertising fail

"here is individualist young person with quirky tastes and s/he uses our service."

Domu's ad aesthetic in a nutshell. So gross.

horseshoe it's an apartment listing service. Free for people looking for apartments, and $20 for property owners to list their rentals.

Hipster air quotes would likely sound something like this.

Historical IS, but I'm still pissed off about soda and candy companies switching to "codes" for their contests, instead of just telling you that you won something when you opened the wrapper/bottle.

People who never capitalize (capitalise?) anything make me a little IA. Totally I, but A nonetheless. I mean, too cool for the Shift key? Too busy? Overreacting against German?

So says someone called "schwantz."

i know someone who was in a domu ad. they just photograph "hip-looking" ppl (altho the guy in the one upthread...) and add random copy. the worst ones were the series w/ just this text like "quirky" hobby/profession/neighborhood so the ads were like "spelunker. orthodontist. logan square." next to a photograph of someone who looked like none of those things

hahahaha that is so gratifying. I was almost sure it had to be made up.

There's something very lost-in-translation about the way ad agencies have gotten the impression that our generation is defined by collections of eccentric pursuits.

LIfe insurance commercials in 2035 are really going to suck.

they just photograph "hip-looking" ppl (altho the guy in the one upthread...)

He looks like Ken Vandermark wearing Harry Caray glasses.

In other words, perfect for their Chicago target audience.

So they're saying PJ is addicted to looking at anonymous dicks online. wtg.

if that purple-haired girl lives anywhere in the loop it's the columbia college dorms. (also, as an actual pilsen resident, i'm p sure the first domu guy has only been down here to review a taco place he heard about on yelp)

the overemphasis on "tasting notes" in food. I'm not making a "that's too fancy for me" complaint -- I love good food and I'm very picky about things like wine, beer and coffee -- I just don't understand the practice of sitting there going "hmm, I taste hibiscus, crab apple, old shoe leather, milk chocolate, and unripe avocado." It seems so alienating from the way I experience food, and after a while I can't even tell if I like something anymore.

once the world finds something useful to do with itself again it's going to look back at this time and think we were all a bunch of real idiots

just eat yr goddamn food already people sheesh

So says someone called "schwantz."

Touche.

bahahaha "turquoise dealer" -- I feel like the copywriters had to have been having a little smirk at the client's expense when they made those.

Ok, so somehow I wound up getting regular updates from a Facebook page called "Bring Back Twin Peaks to TV" and it is just the WORST, and it's like several times per day:

Trace Payne how about what they have done for Veronica Mars?? Enough 'fans' have contributed, so they are doing a movie.. Can that be done for peaks?

Bring Back Twin Peaks to TV Yes they could do a Kickstarter Trace Payne - but it would need to be official and have the backing of Frost and Lynch etc. - James

Thank you for bringing BBTPtTV to my attn, hurting

I wrote this comment on their petition request:

This is a waste of time. Just let it go, it won't be the same if they bring it back. Even most of season 2 was weak.

and got this response

Bring Back Twin Peaks to TV You're just saying that with the gift of hindsight. Season 2 was overall pretty strong, in balance [name redacted]. We can all be cynical.

Which made me even more IA, because nothing about what I said had anything to do with the "gift of hindsight." Like what the fuck does that even mean? And how was I being "cynical"? Is anything not "positive" considered "cynical"? This is a show about incestual rape and murder. It's one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. I mean it's fun in it's way too, but I really don't get this chipper "Hey everybody sign my petition!" thing.

(Though I agree with you that it'd likely be shit if they brought it back, obv.)

Bring Back Twin Peaks to TV yes that was the hack site Welcome To Twin Peaks spreading erroneous news. She did NOT say it was NEVER coming back, she was merely referring to the specific bogus NBC rumor which was blowing up the Internet back in January from an anonymous post on fourchan

Oh those poor sad people.

walked down the road behind a large guy who had a large dog that he was allowing to pee and poo in several places. Thought about saying something to him but there's no signs up saying don't allow your dog to foul everywhere. There are several kids playing in the areas that there is now dog crap.
Doesn't seem to have caught on over here yet that dog owners pick up their dog mess so you get loads of it in parks etc. Think it's pretty digusting.
& it's known to spread disease, as just leaving crap around tends to.

Speaking of that, another thing that makes me IA are people who put up those disgusting anti-dog-shitting signs all over their yards. Like, I'd almost rather see actual dogshit than 5 cartoon dogs taking a shit.

You should be able to 'hide all posts from x', though, even if it's some weird sponsored bullshit.

people who only talk about themselves and have no interest in anyone else ever (except people they're trying to impress)

i'm amazed people like that have friends or even function socially tbh

those domu ads are amazing actually, some sort of new aesthetic post-situationist art project
