YAM'S JAMS #02: Bacon Wonders

It's time for another sesh with Yam's Jams. Notice how I use a lot of abbreviations when conducting this segment?



This is a video recently shown to me, but the obsession has grown and grown to the point where I pretty much watch it once a day. If I could, I would post the whole episode, but this segment is just a pure showing of the reasons why reality television should be eligible for the Emmys and Golden Globes.

(AND NOT JUST THE AMAZING RACE, WINNING LIKE EVERY YEAR SINCE FOREVER. What is that?! I preach Tyra, and I'm sure they're just not ready to overstep the traditional boundaries of what constitutes "correct good television". Uplifting and inspiring stories? No way. Give me the trashy pregnant teenagers spending their Mom's credit cards instead of taking care of their kids. Trashy reality TV is the plus-size model of the TV world.)

This video presents the core of our society. Classic: the cultural clash between the treadmill and McDonalds. It certainly rings close to home.

Finally, and most importantly: how can a 7-year-old sound so much like an 50-year-old man?

PS: So I'm pretty sure the Ginge part of this blog's twosome is now AWOL in the wilderness of Canada. That's right: there are places in the world without internet or computer. I don't really know if someone can really exist without an internet presence... but I guess I'd just like to hope that she returns as she promised. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy my posts without K's presence.

YAM'S JAMS #01: Fridge Self-Questioning

Here I will begin the first of a very regular segment I will be doing called Yam's Jams. Basically, it's old favourites that you probably know, but hey, there is nothing better than good ol' Youtube nostalgia, but also it will describe the deep feelings evoked in me from a repeated viewing experience.



This is an old favourite of mine that revisits me in my obsession quite often. This video does it for me in raising the following feelings with me:

1) Self-identity issues. Is my love for a drink really signifying of what kind of girl I am?
2) My favourite drink is regular Coca Cola. What does this mean in terms of me? Why does Chi City only have Cherry Coke? Am I not a girl Chi could be interested in?
3) Self esteem issues. Chi City obviously doesn't dig me.
4) Breathing issues. Because I'm laughing so hard at this video. (This one isn't a joke. This is the actual reaction.)

Love you all,

- Y
