Dad Pants. The term may be an unfamiliar one to you at first, but once you hear the explanation (shapeless pants on your Dad which look like curtains hung from your belt) you’ll know exactly how horrific Dad Pants are to families.

Why does every company believe they have to write a song about their product? Dairy Queen is the latest guilty party, releasing a song about their S’mores Blizzard. It’s not in the same category of awful as the Red Couch Song from McDonald’s, but it’s still bad enough to discuss.

FirstBank promotes free checking with a freaky dummy
0 comments by David Rogers
Free checking should be a fairly standard feature in banking.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case and apparently the best idea FirstBank had involved one creepy dummy.
