Carmilla the series

Um sure. Why not.

I finished the "I Do Over" parts. Their vows were soooo cute! About to start " I Dream Of Cleaning."

Finished. I really enjoyed it. It was hysterical and sweet.

One peeve, though, Karnstein, it's pronounced with a long I like Einstein. It just makes me twitchy every time they say it Karnsteen. I feel like I'm watching Young Frankenstein when they pronounce it like that.

Carmilla: Hi Laura

Laura: It's pronounced Lura

C: They said it was Laura?

L: They got it wrong, didn't they? Stupid vampire.

If you cock it up and try to edit, the embedded you tube will vanish.

You can't edit this stuff without starting over from the beginning again.

Your job from here on JG.
 
VerveGirl is a Canadian magazine focusing on woman's issues.

Kotex is a tampon company focussing on woman's issues.

Bill Hicks(?) had a comedy bit where he explained that if advertising for feminine hygiene products was really any good, then 6 year old boys would be buying tampons compulsively and trading them between their friends on the school yard at lunch time.

Note the product placement by Kotex trying to program and condition us subliminally. :)
 
I'm sure their business is booming thanks to the show.

A friend of mine. Her two boys used to play with her tampons, as missiles. She put a stop to that, explaining what they were actually used for. Now they don't play with them.

But tampons are kind of cool. Have you ever stuck one in a cup of water? It's like magic!
 
No, I haven't wasted money by destroying the property of someone likely to hit me very hard in the back of the head.

Don't Thong liners defeat the entire concept of the Thong being practically nonexistant from several perspectives?

"Look! I'm naked! Psych!!"

Joey from friends said "Never has so much been done with so little."

Joey is a pig.
 
You can't wear a thong unless you have a supermodel body, and if you have a supermodel body you don't need one.

Catch 22.

Perry did say "Thong Liner"? I didn't imagine that?
 
I thought you said that you were going to wait to binge...

Did you also notice that Perry mentioned a mountain of pads and tampons but yet they are nowhere in sight?
 
Nowhere in sight?

THEY WERE EVERYWHERE!!!

(There's a pyramid of tampon boxes on the left hand corner of the screen, and a couple loose boxes on the table.)

The tampons and pads were still in their (black) boxes/packaging. Not single serving packages but packs of 40.

That's why I was ranting about product placement earlier.

Product Placement is sneaky advertising where consumer products are immersed into media as part of the story under instruction from the shows sponsor. Coke wants the people in a movie drinking coke, but Pepsi wants those same people drinking Pepsi. Coke and Pepsi both try to give the movie producer a shit ton of money and whoever the movie takes it from, that determines the shape of the cultural conciousness for the next couple weeks.

Every time you see a new car on a TV show, the company that makes that car gave the tv people a lot of money to use that car, and probably the car too.

There was an episode of Royal Pains recently where the story just stopped for 5 minutes and the characters talked about how amazeballs user-friendly the auto-navigation was on their new Ford. I was mortified by that level of blatant prostitution trying to pass itself off as entertainment.

Sure they have to make money, but subliminal advertising (Linguistic programming) only works if you don't recognize the advertising as advertising. Which means that someone thinks we're stupid, and they're wagering hundreds of thousands of dollars on our stupidity, which is just rude.

I'm guessing that "Redwing Migration" apart from some Animal Planet hoohaw, is also a Hockey Pun that only Canadians get?

Triple entedre.
 
Maybe I should watch it again, seeing as I missed the pyramid?

Nope. I looked it up and apparently "redwing" is a winter bird found in the UK.

However, we do have the "Sea Of Red" which is a reference to the Calgary Flames hockey team. Their jerseys are white and red. Also the "Red Mile" which is the name given to a street (also in Calgary) during the Calgary Flames 2004 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Oh, in order to see an image of a thong pad, I had to turn off Google safe search. Weird.
 
I knew that a Red Wing was a bird, and that birds migrate, but I was also pretty sure that the Detroit Redwings are a Hockey Team, not that all organized sports in the universe might not be a clever practical joke some one is playing on me for all the attention I pay.

I'm always looking for deeper meaning where there usually isn't because the serious funny is usually buried.

have you noticed how much more positive and upbeat Carmilla is in the distant past?

(Season Zero? Shit. 2012? When they said this story was being held on VHS tape, I assumed that this year was going to be really old-timey story set in the 80s or 90s. Which sadly would mean baring time travel, they couldn't use any of the established cast and family on tap. :( )
 
Yeah. It's weird. I wonder what happened to make her all broody? And Perry? Total personality change.

I was thinking of that as well. Who would have VHS tapes in this day and age?

Answer: Silas University.
 
I kind of miss VHS tapes. You never had to worry about fingerprints or stratches, and the potential annoyance of skipping.
 
That's why they went back to VHS in 22nd century (in Red Dwarf).

The argument was that you can't lose a vhs tape down the back of your sofa.
