Oh, look at that. Now my grad program has a Digital Humanities course.

1. Do you have an image in your head of someone with an undergraduate psychology degree? I sure do.
2. Pics of women! Don’t mind that “In a relationship” checkbox I clicked. Wink, wink, ha ha AMIRITE?! DATA!
3. Some kind of picture of a mad vampire lady as an AD FOR ANOTHER AD for Audi.
4. Meatvideo.com. Whatever. Moving on.
5. AD FOR ANOTHER AD for Heineken.
6. AD FOR YOUR OWN ADS!
7. Ad for VA Half Marathon, which, OK, you noticed the NYRR content on my wall and took a decent guess. Except it’s not even an ad to enter the race, it’s an ad to BUY YOUR WAY INTO THE RACE AFTER ALL THE ENTRIES ARE FILLED.
I think Trump would find all these ads perfectly CLASSY. Just add a little gold embossing is all.

It’s a reflection of Taco Bell’s core customers — the 18- to-20-something crowd that’s generally not up at the crack of dawn. “What we found is, they’re not the customer that shows up at 6 a.m. for breakfast,” Niccol said. “We can get those guys on board, they become the evangelists, and then we can start adding additional hours for people that want breakfast at 6 a.m. or 7 a.m.
Taco Bell starts serving breakfast in almost 800 locations
Imagine, if you will, a 20 year old dude who sleeps until 10 a.m. “evangelizing” to you the value proposition of a Taco Bell “breakfast burrito”.

The Rams are owned by Stan Kroenke, who is also the majority shareholder in the English soccer club Arsenal. The team will give up home games in St. Louis for the three seasons they are in London.
St. Louis Rams to play London games for next 3 years - ESPN
This is all in the realm of “no chance in hell” but here’s the plan:
1. Buy NFL team with little to no historical roots in a mid-market town.
2. Wait for team to get bad enough that the season ticket holders you do have left don’t complain much about losing 1 home game a year.
3. Also don’t commit to a lease to get the mid-market town anxious enough about losing you that they’ll agree to lose 1 home game a year.
4. Become majority shareholder of only London football club with stadium big and modern enough to host NFL football games.
5. Either the mid-market NFL town you’re currently in concedes and gives you enough breaks to make building a new mid-market town stadium worthwhile, or you move the team to London and soak up all that “We’re London/England/Britain/Europe’s only NFL team!” monopoly money.
6. Or, you force the mid-market town new stadium through AND you play 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 “home” games a year in London and soak up all that “We’re London/England/Brittain/Europe’s only NFL team!” monopoly money anyway.
7. In the amount of time it takes all this to happen, the genius football manager you have running your London football club finally retires because as long as he’s around there is zero chance he’ll allow NFL football to tear up his beloved pitch.
8. You play games at Emirates instead of Wembley so you’re not constantly asking those yahoos at the FA for permission to do things like hang Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk banners from the rafters.
9. Also the Emirates sponsorship deal expires and/or doesn’t even apply to NFL games anyway and you get a more American friendly (and lucrative) sponsor lined up.
8. PROFIT.
