You know that feeling you get when you see a guy hauling ass down the street in his bitchin’ automobile? You immediately start thing about how sexy he is and you can’t stop wondering what he would be like in…[insert the sound of a record scratching]

Uh, yeah so not what happens. What you’re really thinking is “What an idiot”. Then you probably shake your head wondering exactly what is he trying to say to the world by leaving clouds of smoke and treadmarks in his wake. Well, the Aussies have read our minds and put it all in an anti-speeding PSA and while most PSAs are stodgy and serious, this one is actually hilarious.

Tonight at 9m, our favorite show Big Love kicks off like an old pair of Dittos in the back seat of a VW Bug, and makes feel all mushy inside. We’ve said all of this before, we love Big Love; the cast is amazing and the storyline is innovative. But today we want to call your attention to HBO’s latest ad campaign for the show. They’ve launched a couple of faux products that truly fit the Bill [Henrickson]

First there’s an Estee Lauderesque commercial for a scent called Eau de Polygamie – a scent that’s all your own.

Be the favorite with Eau de Polygamie

Then there’s Polygerol. When you’re having trouble remembering who’s night it is, try Polygerol.

Hopefully you’ll get a chance to watch the show tonihgt, if you haven’t already, and fall in love: cubed.

If not, reminisce a bit and get all warm and mushy with this Rod Stewart make out song:

Serioulsy. This is the best video, ever.

Several hours in the waiting room and a trip to the pharmacy and we’re on the road to rehab recovery but we have to take drugs it easy for a couple of days. While we were in the Dr’s office, you weren’t far from our thoughts, we saw these comforting little pals in the exam room and knew we had to bring home a snapshot to share.

Just who are the drug companies marketing to when they come up with campaigns involving these fuzzy little creatures? Can we get a demographic? Anyone? What happened to good old calendars and pens?
