    Not just Christian, Mormon to be precise. The author is a Mormon. I just learned that from my wife.

    Actually my wife saw this commercial yesterday. Luckily we had recently looked at the XC60 and decided together that it is an absurd, overpriced, impractical vehicle, so when she realized the commercial was for the same car, she realized that her obsession with Twilight was just as absurd and has now given it up completely, and won't be making me go to the 2nd movie with her when it opens later this month.

    I wish. #twilight

    I think the market is for the moms and dads of 12 year old girls who have to sit through the movies or want to see the movies too and might notice a good looking SUV from Volvo? and since they can't get it on with a vampire they might go out and buy a new car. Sure that makes sense. #twilight

    "...the target demographic for this teen marketing campaign movie is 12-year-old girls. Is that really the market for Volvo XC60s? "

    No Wes, but the Twilight fan contingent of well-heeled 30-something fat chicks who grew up reading idiotic Anne Rice novels is.

    Sookie drives a canary yellow '75 Civic hatch.

    Vampire Bill drives a black E39.

    Jason drives a jacked-up Dodge Ram.

    Lafayette drives a white Merc R107 roadster (with purple velvet and leopard-skin interior.)

    Maryann the Maenad drives a candy apple red, lowered XJS convertible.

    Detective Bellfleur drives a Beige Ford Police Interceptor.

    You can tell whether a Vampire show or flick is any good by its choice of vehicles.

    @bmoreDLJ: Didn't Spike drive some sort of old blacked-out Lincoln Continental or Chrysler New Yorker in the TV series? With the windows blacked out, naturally, because he was a proper badass vampire and didn't "sparkle" or any sort of bullshit. #twilight

    Christians like this movie? I'm not exactly in tune with mass-market Christian trends, as a non-churchgoing believer, but I'm having a hard time reconciling that notion with the "boycotting" of Harry Potter.

    Speaking of weird hypocrisy and paradox, I have an Ichthus decal on the back of my VW, but have actually paid for sodomy several times before. I don't go to that dealer anymore, but still. #twilight

    i had been warned--i have a number of friends who work in book stores/are avid readers... they told me the only reason to read more than 1 page was "train wreck syndrome".. you know it's bad. and you don't want to see how bad it gets... but you do... you have to... #twilight

    "Sir, advance scouting indicates just two men, but at least 500 horses under their command. The leader appears to be a French mercenary of unknown sponsorship, his consort merely a navigator. I believe him to be of the rank of lieutenant based on the two chevrons he displays. I'd say we can make short work of them." #wrc

    In reply to "Poop Explosion" Coats Holden Interior In Aussie Diaper Ad
    I have a kid who, while very young, developed a very regular #2 habit: Wednesday evenings. Nursed babies don't mess quite so much as bottlefed, though there are the usual number of wet diapers to deal with. But the narstier ones, not so much. Thus, the once-a-week schedule. And it was fantastic. Nothing can top having a kid who you know will not utterly ruin your trip to the park with a Superfund site in his britches.

    Until he skipped a Wednesday. Then he'd gone over ten days. Then we're closing in on two weeks He's starting to get uncharacteristically cranky and fussy. We knuckle under and call Ask-A-Nurse. She says give the kid some castor oil and everything should be fine, some babies just get a little anal retentive - literally. She's never actually seen a once-a-week kid but doesn't think it's totally out of the realm of possibility, and other long-interval kids sometimes get this retention thing going, so do the castor oil and see what happens.

    We did the castor oil.

    About an hour later there was this...sound. And the kid's face suddenly got really horrified and relieved and inside the diaper was Mt. Vepoopius, a mountain of poo like you've never seen unless you own a Saint Bernard. We changed him on a big sheet of newspaper opened up, and some still got away. We blamed that spot on the cat, but we knew. So did the cat.

    What's this got to do with cars? Not a damn thing. #adwatch
