Beyonce – American Express Commercial (FULL)

By grownANDsexy

 

I bet you that there won’t be no take down notice for this!!!

 Talk about free advertising…

 

I saw this video for the first time today (on TV no less) and was pretty impressed by it. I can’t lie, it was a good commercial and it put Beyonce and American Express (Stock Name: ) in a good light.  I can’t tell where, but I know she has House of Dereon in this commercial somewhere. Also, apparently, Cadillac is the new king of cars because it also stars in the commercial.

 

 

 

I have to agree with one think that A HOT MESS stated in its blog… who in the great wide world of sports puts out a press release for a commercial????

 

The television spot grants viewers a behind the scenes pass to follow Knowles’ hectic life on tour, a whirlwind schedule taking her from photo shoot to dance rehearsal to press conference all in a day’s work. With cameos by her parents, Matthew and Tina Knowles, the fast-paced spot captures her real life struggle to balance between her career and her family. As Knowles finally unwinds in her hotel room after a day of jet-setting, she manages to squeeze in some promised shopping for her niece and nephew with just a few quick clicks of the mouse. She shops online effortlessly with her American Express Card knowing it affords her peace of mind in an otherwise chaotic day.

 

Oh and here is a interview that I never saw before… and her voice… does it seem MAD deep to you guys? Don’t get me wrong, it sound sexy, but I really thought it was lighter than that.

Is UDINK offensive to you? – Family’s license plates deemed offensive

By grownANDsexy

While browsing Yahoo for interesting items for feature on my entertainment site (currently being revamped), I came across this little jem.

Now I was reading it and the whole time I was trying to figure out what the problem was. The family’s name is Udink, and the license plates they got was UDINK1, UDINK2 and UDINK3. I’m sitting here reading this, trying to figure out what the heck could a udink be.

So I head over to one of my favorite places, Wikipedia, to see what they have to say.

3 In fiction

Apparently is has MANY meanings. And not only that, it was a name of a cartoon character (innocent I am sure) and a hypocorism for the given name Dennis.

Reeeaaallly….

If your into diecast cars, like I am, then you are also going to find this interesting… that dink is sometimes used to refer to miniature diecast cars much like what Hotwheels and Mini-Champs makes.

But now we get to the heart of the matter… the word dink is used to refer to people of Asian decent. After reading that, I remembered that I have heard it before, but it was quite along time ago. And it was most likely on TV in the form of a movie.

It could also mean penis.

And with that last possible description of what dink could mean, here is the link to the story:
