Have you noticed that after Sasha Baron Cohen’s Borat has blown up, advertisers, magazines, etc. are pumping up their product with Cohen’s face as much as possible? I’ve seen that the Ricky Bobby people have put much more of him in the commercials now. Before Borat, Cohen was barely seen in the commercials. As LaFawnduh pointed out to me, they might as well flash this on the screen:

RICKY BOBBY HAS THE BORAT GUY

You can see Cohen everywhere now. And I’m sure he loves it. I just think the Ricky Bobby case is funny because you’d think that Will Ferrell has enough draw on his own–but no–it was time to ride on the new coattails. Well, guess what?

NOW SOUPY TRUMPET HAS THE BORAT GUY

We just gave more face time for Cohen, I know. Ah, it feels so good, too.

In other news, I downloaded Google’s Web Accelerator just for shits and giggles. It’s supposed to speed up browsing by prefetching web pages from links in the page you’re currently viewing. What’s funny is that Google probably makes a mountain of cash off this, because the program is clicking links to their advertisers in the background. They’ve already clicked on Visa.com for you.

Well, my friends, the Matrix is long and wide. And we’re all in it.

Agent Smith: Then we have a deal?
Cypher: I don’t want to remember nothing. Nothing. And I want to be rich, someone important, like an actor.
Agent Smith: Whatever you want, Mr. Reagan.

Fuck being Cypher. I want to be Agent Smith. I’m going whole hog.
