Reason #23,479 why I love Anthony Bourdain

It’s no secret I love Anthony Bourdain. Not in an “OMG HE’S SEXY” type of way - but I love his bluntness and snarkiness when it comes to just about everything. But it’s posts like these that make me giddy:
I have to wonder about an ad depicting a dead squirrel–with the caption “Some Things Look Better In HD.” Which is pretty much what the geniuses at Travel Promo have subjected innocent members of the public to.
Actually, it was worse: An old photo of yours truly–after a horrifying night of drinking in Iceland, huddled, near naked in the Blue Lagoon, pondering whether to throw up or simply sink beneath the surface and die.
Is this enticing? Does this make ANYONE–even longtime convicts–feel compelled to tune in? Some Things May Indeed Be Better in HD. My puffy, drink ravaged face and 51 year old naked torso would NOT be one of them. With all the beautiful places we’ve been on the show, THIS is an example of the glories of hi-def? Apparently, the price of crack must have dropped near HQ. There’s no other excuse for this shameful display of ugliness. What tiny, deeply disturbed demo were they trying to appeal to here? German Scat Porn websites likely attract greater numbers. And…
What about the CHILDREN!?
I look forward to the next ad–of my head, photo-shopped onto Barney Fife’s naked body torturing a puppy. Now THAT will draw them in!
What tiny, deeply disturbed demo were they trying to appeal to here? German Scat Porn websites likely attract greater numbers. - stuff like that alone just warms my snarky, black little heart.

@Bree: the St. Paul one? Sweet. You doing the April 28th one too? I promise you won’t be at Housing Court this time. :-)

The St. Paul one, yep. I’m going to help with the April 28th one, I think, but I’m not coordinating. And HELL YES I will not be at the court!!! :D

I actually do love him in an “OMG HE’S SEXY” sort of way, and I think Dave does, too. We went to a special dinner at Les Halles in DC hosted by Tony himself and I thought Dave was going to wet his pants when Tony signed his book.
