Every time I see the TV ad for the skin cream Adorage, the one that uses Serge Gainsbourg's "Je T'Aime ... Moi Non Plus," I die a little bit inside. I really like that song and it cheapens it to use it to hawk anti-wrinkle cream.

Does it prevent wrinkles "between the kidneys"? BWA HA HA.

I'm sure they didn't consider that lyric when they chose the song.

"Keeps you youthful from top to bottom!"

J-F says "ah la la, this is the end of the beans!!!".

Evidently, this means, "this is the end of the rope".

I'm laughing even harder than I was before.

[elysistrata]

Oh, wait, there's more: "because beans can be kept for a long time, so if you have finished the beans, it means you have nothing left to eat".

Either way, I'm sure Serge would be rolling in his grave if he knew about this. What's next? "Light my Fire" to sell Zippos? "Rubber Ring" to sell condoms?

Ha! BTW, re: the Ms. mag thing, did you ever get poojooj's e-mail? I'm sure she'd be totally up for putting you in touch with her friend there.
