I don't understand why people are so slow to appreciate the value of good handshake line confrontation.

You and I are on the same page on this one. ;):D

Right on Scarlet, right on. I HATE the Canadians. I can't stand all the whining, flopping, and *****ing. But, they played the Bruins like a fiddle. Aggravating to watch. And while I'm not going so far as to say Claude should be canned, he deserves the heat hes's getting for this debacle. He's a stubborn man and the situation called for a shake-up.

A Hawks-Habs final would be outstanding entertainment (Please tell me Shaw would be healthy for this match-up.) Of course I can't root for the Habs ever and the Hawks need to pick-up their game if they want to beat whichever CA team comes through, but man oh man, would that be fun to watch.

#whatLucictoldWiese was trending last night. Personally, I thought he said, "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." That's why Wiese thought it was a threat.

Actually think his scream is pretty hilarious... :D


Pretty solid marketing effort on their part. Never heard of a FICO credit score before - I'd guess they made it up as their own proprietary or have a deal - but I'm aware of it now.

Not sure they've convinced me that I care, but they have achieved awareness of a previous unknown in a relatively short amount of time.

Must be nice that national spots for hockey are probably about $100 each. :p

FICO has been around for a very long time, it's the Fair Isaac Corp., used a lot by mortgage companies. They have a large presence in Minneapolis.

On a related note (I know we have a "stupid commercials" thread for stuff like this, but whatever): I really hate that smug redhead from the Wendy's commercials.

She's a nerd. That's some RED hair though. I've often wondered...

:D

I have a much different reaction to those commercials. They're for Wendy's, huh?

Huh, never knew wth Fair Isaac did. One of Jr's soccer coaches worked there.

They do a whole bunch of data analytic stuff, but the FICO score is how most people would know the company - if they know them. They also run or created (not sure which) the Coke Rewards program, and some other loyalty programs.

It's probably my disdain for smug attitudes in people/characters that seem to think that they're more funny than they really are.

I never took the character for being smug, just selling the food with mixed result in attempts at humor.

This conversation has veered off a bit.....to get try and get it back on track to hockey but still on the subject of commercials...those GEICO commercials (I think it's GEICO) about rivals make me roll my eyes. Are Bruins and Flyers really rivals? What about the Rangers and Capitals? I think that's the other one.

I figured they just picked the teams based upon each city's population size.
