At the end of the commercial, Jessica Simpson accidentally kicks an extension chord out of the electric socket and all the power goes out on the commercial. It's a cute commercial for Macy's.

Christmas Will Be Fun This Year

This will be a special Christmas. Why? Because although the technology has changed a lot since the Great Depression, people will most likely doing without this year for the most part. I wish that I could afford an iPhone or a new car or even a few nice clothes. Like in that TV movie, "The Homecoming: A Christmas Story" (about the Waltons), a lot of people will just have to settle for the love of family and friends to get them by. And that's how it should be anyway, right?

Ricky Martin singing " Ay, Ay, Ay, It's Christmas"





This is Ricky Martin singing, "Ay, Ay, Ay, It's Christmas" on a CBS Television Special for Christmas. I don't know what year this is from, but it must be 2000 or before, because the twin towers of the World Trade Center are behind him as he's singing.

Tony Danza Commercial for the 1988 Hollywood Christmas Parade





This is a commercial featuring actor Tony Danza, advertising the 1988 Hollywood Christmas Parade, for which Danza was the Grand Marshall. They don't have this parade anymore, because the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce (which I am a member of) was losing money every year, due to lack of sponsorship. I don't know, but with all the investment in Hollywood right now and all the big companies there, I think that they could've done a better job at raising the money, as well as luring more talent there. They gave up too easily, in my opinion. Heck, with the Kodak Theater, Jimmy Kimmel Live and all those new glitzy buildings on Hollywood Boulevard, I think it'd not only be easy to get some TV advertisers, but they also have better views for the audience at home! If they want to hire me to raise money for the Parade so that we could put it on again, I'm up fo the job!
