The Kurt Vonnegut ad!

[hel_ana]

Those of you to whom I told the Kurt Vonnegut/Guns'N'Roses story will also remember why Mr. Vonnegut was in Toronto in the first place.

And those of you watching the Super Bowl will have now seen the ad. See? I'm not nuts! Vonnegut is shilling for Nissan!

(And I'm all excited, because I didn't think I'd ever actually see the ad, given how little TV I usually watch)

And the Bucs are kicking ass, and I'm starting to understand the game. The first is good, if only because it means Ross won't be all morose for the next week. The second scares me.

It was a very strange ad too. It's like - oh look Vonnegut. Although the message "if you drive to an out of the way location a famous author that you've admired since high school will be on hand to sign the book and make it highly valuable" is very odd.

When I first heard about the ad, my first thought was "I have no idea what Vonnegut looks like".

My friend who's cousin was his driver back in November is a huge Vonnegut fan, and went into work raving about the fact that his cousin was driving Vonnegut. And was absolutely crushed when he was met with a universal "huh? who's that?"
