PSA
Cringe and cower when you see that Blogger has made an update because it means six more weeks of winter in the form of odd outages and sluggish service. Get what you pay for, of course.
This was what I was thinking until I read today's business section of the Columbus Dispatch, when I begin to think that maybe the folks at Blogger deserved a song like other "real American heroes" have.
Dispatch columnist Barnet Wolf wrote, "If it hadn’t been for the folks at Anheuser-Busch, some of America’s authentic prodigies might have been overlooked. We’re talking about real men of genius, such as Mr. All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Inventor and Mr. Bumper Sticker Writer... These formerly unsung heroes, along with nearly seven dozen others, have been acclaimed in a series of eccentric radio and television commercials for Bud Light. The commercials broke in 1998 and since then the radio campaign has earned more than 100 advertising awards."
Inspired by the ads, I offer lyrics to "Mr. Blogger Software Developer":
Mr. Blogger Software Developer
Bud Light Presents: Real Men of Genius
(real men of genius)
Today we salute you, Mr. Blogger Software Developer
(Mr. Blogger Software Developer)
You've given us the real American dream: self-publishing for the lazy and self-absorbed
(Pinch me, I'm dreamin'!)
Toiling in obscurity, you work so that we can tell the world what we had for dinner
(pork chops & gravy!)
No clock-watcher you, you are the Helen that launched a thousand blogs
(Homer'd be proud!)
So crack open an ice-cold Bud Light blogger boy, because if not for you
this parody wouldn't exist!
(Mr. Blogger Software Developer!)
