Automatic Data Processing, Inc. came out with a music video at some point during the 1980s to provide some inspiration to its employees. I am not sure if that worked, but man do we have ... http://checkitout.today.com/2009/10/09/we-are-adp/ Now that I have a young daughter, I am starting to rediscover the television show Sesame Street. Of course, it doesn't seem as cool to me now as it did back when I was a kid. So I went to YouTube to find some of the classic segments that I ... http://checkitout.today.com/2009/08/31/how-crayons-are-made/ I'm really sorry to do this to you. For those of you that were around in the 80s, I'm sure you thought there couldn't be a song much worse than Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go".

His sarcastic style is just my kind of humor. I guess his monotone delivery doesn't do it for some people, but I think it's pretty funny.

Here ... http://checkitout.today.com/2009/03/29/filet-o-fish-commercial/ Have you seen the show on the Style Network called The Dish?
