Agent Palmer

If you watch tv, you see commercials. That’s the way it works. So this holiday season, when I first saw T-Mobile’s “4G Wonderland” spot (embedded at the bottom of this post), I was appalled. How is it possible that an ad agency or the executives at T-Mobile could let something go that to even the most casual observer is, well, appalling?

If you haven’t seen it, the commercial rips (parodies if you like) off the Christmas classic, “Winter Wonderland.”

Day 2, my return to the Great Allentown Comic Con 2011. In my mind, and apparently in many others, there was an anticipation at arrival of noon to come. Because at noon, Mr. Peter Mayhew, Chewbacca himself would be speaking on a panel with Tom Kane, the voice of Yoda in Clone Wars.

The room was packed, or at least for a con of this size, and compared to the panels that I attended on day one.

It may not be as glorious or newsworthy as San Deigo but Allentown, Pennsylvania has it’s own Comic Con, The Great Allentown Comic Con. Today was Day 1 and it was very enjoyable. Now I do admit, that looking through boxes of comics may not be most people cup of tea, but I for one enjoy the thrill of the search.

So after searching through troves of comics, trade paperbacks and the like, I headed off to a panel.
