It looks to me that the Japanese auto industry is resorting to the same kind of cheap marketing gimmicks that the American auto industry did, right before they were eclipsed by the Japanese.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What %age of men is the VW Bug bud vase targeted at? And is that the same 10% Kinsey demarcated?
(I have decided that Wordnik is now my default dictionary, and have set up an Opera search shortcut to that effect. I hope the minuscule bump in traffic is more than just a drop in the bucket. Everyone should do so.)

No worries! It was just right when it came out that I was so mortified.
Well, Yuletide assignments are imminent, so I think it's likely that she's One of Us.
A-ha! Too bad I'm not fannish enough to be able to engage with her on it, anyway.
Was there a new episode of Scandal or Grey's Anatomy last night? My dvr didn't record either of them.
No, I think it was the CMAs or something instead.

Ooh, I just added the firefox wordnik addon, so I can now highlight text and right-click and search wordnik! It needs to be a search bar option too. Can somebody get on that?
Don't forget the Mary Kay pink cars. I think they still do that.
