where you at, dog?
August 2nd, 2006
Bored with the utter lack of engaging material on cable television the other night (remember that I don’t find reality TV engaging, and that just leaves Columbo reruns), I fired up On Demand and watched one of the latest Aqua Teen Hunger Foce episodes, “Boost Mobile”. Given that they not only used the name of the upstart mobile service but also their catchphrase, I’d think it a marketing move … but it must have come from the new “backhanded compliment” school of marketing. All I got out of it was that signing up for Boost Mobile means that my cell phone won’t shut up.
Anyhow, as a result of the episode, I can’t get the phrase “Where you at, dog?” out of my head. All it needs is a melody and it will join the ranks of George Constanza’s answering machine message.
