Joyride Dream

If you watch TV at all, you've probably seen this commercial. I love it.



The song is called How You Like Me Now? by The Heavy.

Here is the official description of the commercial from this site

Joyride Dream features the all-new 2011 Kia Sorento and a colorful cast of characters, including a life-size Sock Monkey (Fox River Mills, Inc.), Muno (from YO GABBA GABBA!, the award-winning series and live tour, produced by W!LDBRAIN and The Magic Store), MR. X (BLABLA KIDS collection), Robot and Teddy Bear. The commercial follows the gang as they experience an action-packed road trip, which takes them from exploding pins in a bowling alley to jumping jet skis, and mechanical bull riding to a mountain log cabin. They even find themselves on a dance floor pulling off some classic moves. Every great road trip needs an equally memorable sound track. How You Like Me Now by the Heavy delivers the goods as it plays throughout the whirlwind adventure. The character’s epic road trip takes an unexpected turn, and they find themselves in a bit of a predicament.

Joyride Dream was inspired by the “Young Parent” life stage, a time of discovery and rediscovery. New parents find themselves surrounded by toys, stories and songs not heard since childhood. They also discover new characters and new TV shows; priorities change and the backseats of their cars are filled with kids’ stuff. They realize they are full-fledged adults with responsibilities and chores. And while embracing this new life stage, still feel youthful and need to have some fun along the way. The all-new 2011 Kia Sorento enables you to enjoy all parts of life. It’s spacious, comes filled with the latest technology, and it is fuel efficient and stylish. So while you may spend most of your time racing around the city dealing with life, you’re ready, as is the Sorento, for a much-deserved night out on the town, or even a trip to the mountains.

New Doctor Who Logo

I used to watch Doctor Who on public television when I was a kid and even went to a convention with my dad and sister. "NERD!" Doctor Who is a long running science fiction show that began in 1963. That's a bit deceptive though since it hasn't been produced consistently since 1963. The show more or less ended in 1989 and a revival was attempted in 1996. However, the '96 crummy TV movie was unsuccessful in relaunching the series. Finally, the show was successfully revived in 2005 and has been produced ever since.

One of the things that helped Doctor Who to endure so long was the ability to keep the same protaganist and change the actor. The Doctor is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. When he dies, his body regenerates and thus, the show goes on. In a world where everything is spoiled on the Internet and is hyped in advertising, "Whovians" know that the latest Doctor is going to die soon. That means a new Doctor and a new logo. I have a strange interest in logos. Well, this is the new logo:


I love the theme song for Doctor Who. You may have heard it before without knowing that's what it is. Here are all the different variations of the theme song from the beginning of the show to the present. The latest theme song is below:
