From a guy who still sings of the Evil Beaver 15 years after the fact, Miller Lite's latest ad campaign is one size 19 stiletto-heeled axe kick to my heart. Guys, why let Bud Light and Coors have all of the fun? We could spend the next 100 years documenting the zany things guys do around beer and provide sufficient evidence that fat, dumb looking men would rather drink one six pack of light beer alone than get down with their beautiful wives, yet still only cover a quarter of the beer funnies phenomenon. In the end it was too tempting. We end up with a series of spots featuring extremely forced male archetypes, hot bartenders with Chandler Bing slams double-stacked and ready to dish out, and a group of multi-ethnic, straight laced joes who apparently forgot to give their buddy the business the moment he first entered the bar looking like a total asshole.
Don't you just hate when you're out with your normal looking friends and that other guy shows up in his denim overalls with one strap undone...with a parrot on his shoulder? Dude, no...Miller Lite is not a light beer...it's something so much better it gets its own category of adult beverage. Just select the Miller Lite or the bartender will surely tear into your overalls, even if you make an excellent case for their styleness.
Enough. Check out this horseshit:
Congrats, Miller Brewing Company. You've completely annihilated everyone JUST like this guy. Fuck! I know him! There aren't enough silk dragon robes in all of the bars in all of the world to dry those cryin' eyes.

The Children's Twerkshop
Michael Buble: Young, handsome, soulful, and great looking. God has sent you an angel, but you two just haven't met yet. Relax.
Sara Bareilles: The girl next door who plays piano and doesn't take your shit. A role model for the young ladies who can and will have fun with birthday suits in the closet.
BOTH have taken on the daunting task of adapting the Sesame Street Theme into pop gold. Sunny, 4/3 time signature, bouncy piano. The lyrics take a slightly more "young adult relationship" angle than the original, but still unmistakable.
Thoughts? Reactions? Who does Big Bert and Garbage Grouch an A#1 solid? Has Dino Kartsonakis finally met his match? Bombs away, EPL faithful.

Bon Voyage, Phil!
The darker side of EPL's CPA of the Month competition is not something we often address, but for every Crown of Roses, there is a Halo of Flies. And this June, it was the raunchy malodour of one Phil Tarold that attracted those flies.Every four weeks, Bodacio and I pour over resumes and corporate portraits, each hoping to best the other with our picks at the end of another (AGONIZING) round of deliberation at the judges' table.
I'm going to be honest, from the second B. held up Steve's 8x10 and silently mouthed the word "mine," I knew I was licked. How do you cope with passing on a pony like Steve Grissom? One of two ways. You go mad, or you go maverick.
I grabbed the nearest glossy and in that first rush of desperation that heralds the coming of inevitable defeat, I saw potential. I saw my clay. Some Loreal Strawberry-blonde here, bump up the cyan on the irises. Unisex lavender silk blouse... Maybe. Maybe there's something there...
...but it was a Fool's Paradise.
And while I certainly congratulate Steve on his much deserved victory, I find I can't be that magnanimous with Phil. I questioned, "Did I see something that wasn't there? Did I push too hard? Expect miracles?"
And the answer is "no," Phil. It was you who let me down in failing to make flesh my vision of The New Accounting. I hope you can live with that.

What is EPL?
We're not trying to reinvent the motorbike here. It's simply an outlet for producing great entertainment-based ideas and giving the thumbs up/thumbs down on all the other slop floating around cyberspace. We tend to dabble in nearly everything, so a little something for everyone. A few things you're likely to see in the near future:
- Original artwork
- Movie scripts
- ____of the Week/Month/Year/Life
- Lady Gaga vs. Cathy Dennis
- Michael Buble and Sara Bareilles tackle the Sesame Street Theme
- The dinks and wieners of this world taken to the EPL outhouse
- Fun

Employee of the Month
On behalf of Bodacio, I'd like to welcome myself as a contributor to Entertainment Productions Limited. I believe we both feel that securing my services is quite a coup for "the little blog that soon will could." In addition to providing sneak peeks and first looks at Eurasian-exclusive Ron Jon merchandise, I'll be bringing my singular "bitch-vado" to scathing reviews of children's choir performances. I'd say 2010's looking up, wouldn't you?
