Ben: (Noun) Crap One Is Put Through in Bad Relationship; See US Weekly

Meh-heh. Us Weekly is running new ads that have two women talking about one's boyfriend acting all "Colin" after the "Ben" he put her through. (Watch the ad here.) The ads, created by Deutsch, recenlty best known for agreeing to work with the kids from The Apprentice, are sort of funny but would have benefited from more maniacal line-readings from the women while on Stairmasters or getting their nails done.

Besides Ben and Colin, other celebrities turned descriptors Brad, Christina, and Shannen. WordSpy - get on this!

Of course this comment is not about a current event, nor do I know to whom I am writing since I just got a computer 2 days ago, however I think this correspondence demands recognition, thank you.

Concerning the incedent with the highschool baseball team at Sassy Merlot's last year, I have information that must be given to the public, since I am no longer employed there.

I was the manager at the time, not allowed to give a comment, and this is what I know:

1) All of the students allowed into the club were over the age of 18.

~ One student was turned away because he could not furnish an I.D.

2) The students were not alone. They were accompanied by their parent chaperone. (who drank Jack & coke by the way. All of the boys ordered cokes.)

3) The coach went back to the hotel in a cab with the boys who did not have I.D.

Absolutely no laws were broken. The boys were very polite and behaved as gentlemen should in the presence of half nude women. We enjoyed their company and were very sorry to hear about the problems they encountered after returning home.

My boss at the time,was a very intelligent man. The media tends to mis-interpret comments to their own benefit, which they did anyway, even though I continuously repeated "No comment".

So, please let your readers know that Sassy's was not responsible for any wrong-doing last year.

When we were going to put him in a home, my grandfather went all "Zimmer" on us, so I had to pull a "Pedro."

Jake,

I heard a great one - Using words incorrectly or not checking your spelling and grammar is so "Ashton"

I have no respect for people who read US Weekly, People or Entertainment Weekly.

I just loose all respect and can not think of them as coherent intellectuals after knowing they like that crap.
