Hobby Lobby CEO
he's one of many funders, but he doesn't appear to be the mastermind behind it.
the CNN article that space linked to, above, is a good overview.
That Dorito / triangle ad was stupid ridiculous, which was why it was hysterical.
The talking baby ad at the wedding, was priceless.
The one, of many, dog ads, where the brown dog grows old with the girl who goes to college, gets married, has a baby, and then the dog remembers it's life with the girl . . . was magical.

Kind of amazing that celebrities used to eschew commericials (except for Japan). Totally different now.

I did notice when they went through musicians…wasn't a whole lot of metal other than rush

and is rush even metal? what song of theirs would you consider metal?
like triumph, rush is firmly in the hard rock category, with a healthy side of prog. maybe i'm putting things into too narrow silos, but IMO hard rock isn't the same as metal…
Rush is totally prog, not metal. I wouldn't even call them prog-metal.
That said, they're TERRIBLE.

For the record, wiki has Rush listed as Heavy Metal …while I agree on a technical level, they are not Heavy Metal

I hate to see you two this way but if life has taught me anything it’s to not interfere…

i love that he has a "Reduced Version (fewer graphics)" of the page. load time time on the full version was creeping up into the double-digit milliseconds…
is the Integers Thread aware that the page boasts an integer-only "True Random Number Generator"??
