Rooster_Ties Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 (edited) Time-Warner Cable is my ISP, and their homepage (which is what I have my PC's homepage set to), has links with AP headlines, and other family-friendly stuff on their site. Just now, they had a picture and a link for "Games for Kids". The graphic (below the "Games for Kids" link) showed this picture of Bert, as in Bert and Ernie... So I'm thinking, what the hell is up with Bert these days?? He seems strung out on somethin', for sure!!!! ========= Here's the general Road-Runner homepage, though it won't probably have the same link for any longer than about 24 hours. http://www.rr.com/v5/home/0,1793,73,00.html Edited July 13, 2003 by Rooster_Ties Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 Man, you know the economy is hurting when even Burt can't score some blow. Quote
Big Wheel Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 Ummmm...you guys DO know that Bert is evil, right? Quote
JSngry Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 So I'm thinking, what the hell is up with Bert these days?? He seems strung out on somethin', for sure!!!! This is just SO tabloideque. Y'all make me sick. I guess I'm the only one here who pays attention to Leeza Gibbons for anything longer than a quick wank. SO typically male, that is... Anyway, here's the REAL inside skinny: That picture of Bert is from the new NyQuil commercial that he filmed last week. The spot is scheduled to run in October, and it'll show a depth, a RANGE to Bert that the CTW folks have kept under wraps all these years. The cat REALLY convinces you that he's got the worst freakin' cold in the history of the world. The buzz on the street is that a Clio is a lock and that Bert's going to use the juice to get CTW out from umder the wings of PBS, since he figure that Bush & Co. got it in for that crew anyways. Besides, there's bad blood between Vicks and PBS going back to the Ford administration and the whole Nixon pardon bizness. Vicks wanted to underwrite some investigative reporting shit, but PBS put the kibosh on it and handed the gig to the MacArthur foundation. Bert, up until the pardon a loyal (and lifelong) Republican and significant Richardson-Vicks stockholder (this was before the P&G takeover, remember), smelled something rotten in the deal and vowed to bring PBS to its knees when the time was right. Well, it looks like that time is FINALLY here. Bert's a player, baby. He's got it goin' on on the shure 'nuff fer real side, and all this trash talkin qin't nuthin but some tired sadass bullshit. Y'all aint got ANY kind of a clue.... Now, Forgetful Jones, THERE'S some dirt for yer ass! Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 13, 2003 Author Report Posted July 13, 2003 (edited) Frankly, I'm speachless. And nearly 8 hours later (say what you will, Jim) -- "strung out" Bert is still on the "Family Friendly" Road-Runner homepage. http://www.rr.com/v5/home/0,1793,73,00.html I wonder how long it'll take for somebody higher-up to say "WTF???", and send Bert back into rehab. By the way, congrats to Jim on reaching "Groove Merchant" status (1,000 posts!!!), I think with the very post above this one!! Now, back to matters at hand... Jim, I think you're frontin' for Bert, though I can't for the life of me figure out why??? Anybody remember this??? Edited July 13, 2003 by Rooster_Ties Quote
Jim Dye Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 I thought this thread was going to be about Bertrand. Quote
JSngry Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 Then the NyQuil hype (not yet available for public screening, sorry, I tried) Quote
JSngry Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 Bert, being the crafty buisinessman that he is, had a setup for a sequel built into the ad. Quote
JSngry Posted July 13, 2003 Report Posted July 13, 2003 It's all about revenge and the bling-bling, baby, and Bert be the reelafizzle shnazznittlewhizzle. Yall really should pay attention to Lezza Gibbons.... Quote
Alexander Posted July 14, 2003 Report Posted July 14, 2003 I heard that the CTW people tried to stage an intervention for Bert: Bert: What the hell is going on here? What are you all doing in my dressing room? Ernie: We just want to help you, Bert. Cookie: Me know what it is like to have uncontrollable addiction. Bert: What do you know about my life, Cookie Monster? I saw you hiding in the men's room with a box of Oreos just yesterday. Cookie: It true! Me weak! Me cannot help meself! Elmo: Elmo thinks that Bert is in a self-destructive pattern. Bert will not ask Elmo for help until Bert hits bottom. Bert: Stop talking in the third person! I hate all of you! (Bert breaks down sobbing.) Quote
