  • Exploring 90s Advertising: Pert Shampoo for Athletic Young Men

    December 9th, 2025

    Procter & Gamble Marketing Their Pert Line Of Combination Of Shampoo To Young And Athletic, But Not Radical Males During The Early 1990’s.

    Even though I am not fond of long hair, at least these Television Commercials consisting of males with long hair had aired prior to the crazes of Buzzcut, Undercut, Pompadour, Crewcut, Brush Cut, Flattop, High & Tight, and Reconnaissance Haircuts; in addition to males shaving their heads with a Razor and Shaving Cream, and in the case of the time of writing this very post; those newfangled Electric Shavers that are designed and built specifically for Head Shaving.

    I would also prefer these young males who are starring in these Procter & Gamble-Pert Television Commercials to be fat and overweight instead of them being fit and muscular.

  • Sheri Lynch’s Choice: To Dye or Not to Dye Gray Hair

    December 9th, 2025

    Cheryl “Sheri Lynch” Wardlynch’s Choice: Whether Or Not Embrace Gray Hair.

    I, the owner of this very Blog; would appreciate it if Sheri Lynch had any consideration for people such as myself who are Autistic, who don’t like and can’t tolerate change, and don’t want to accept people and the world around them changing.

    This includes Sheri Lynch continuing to dye her hair, WBT-FM never, ever changing it’s call letters to WLNK-FM, WBT-FM never adopting the Hot Adult Contemporary format, WBT-FM never adopting “The Link” moniker, Lincoln Financial remaining in the Broadcasting business well into the present day, and long after it had merged with Jefferson-Pilot; and the WBT Radio Stations, and WBTV-TV; in turn, never changing hands several more times ever since Lincoln Financial had exited the Broadcasting business.

    I also prefer that Sheri Lynch be mindful of the history of the WBT Stations, and the Broadcasting Division of Jefferson-Standard/Jefferson-Pilot Communications, and her role in it; as chronicled by another Jefferson-Standard/Jefferson-Pilot employee, the late Reno Bailey, on his website BT Memories: https://web.archive.org/web/20220416080601/http://www.btmemories.com/

    Moreover, I also prefer that Sheri Lynch be mindful of my fascination (or infatuation, depending on which word you prefer to use) of Full-Size Pickup Trucks, SUVs, and Vans; 1960’s-1990’s Intermediate and Full-Size American Passenger Cars and Coupe Utilities, European vehicles, Medium and Heavy-Duty Trucks, School Buses, and Motorhomes; and if Sheri and her husband never owned a General Motors GMX200 Minivan, a Buick Rendezvous, a Pontiac Aztek, any Minivan that the Chrysler Corporation and its successors have ever designed and built, any generation of the unique to the North American market Toyota Sienna (XL10, XL20, XL30, and the XL40); the RA Honda Odyssey, the unique to the North American market RL1, RL3/4, RL5, and RL6 Honda Odysseys, or the KV-II, VQ, YP, and KA4 Kia Minivans (including the badge-engineered Hyundai Entourage).

    Instead, I prefer that Sheri Lynch and her husband own a Full-Size Pickup Truck, SUV, or Van; a Chevrolet Astro/GMC Safari, a Ford Aerostar, a T4 Volkswagen Transporter/EuroVan, a Volkswagen I.D Buzz, a R20/R30 Toyota MasterAce/Tarago/VanWagon, or an XR10/XR20 Toyota Estima/Previa; if she and her husband traveled in a Motorhome any longer, or if Sheri and her husband owned a 1-Ton Dual Rear-Wheel “Dually” Pickup Truck and a Fifth-Wheel RV Trailer, and traveled that way; instead of cruising around traveling in their Minivan.

  • Further Examples Of How Contemporary Music Is Annoying

    December 7th, 2025

    Following Up From This Earlier Post: Why Contemporary Music Is Annoying: A Deep Dive, Below Are Further Examples Of How Contemporary Music Is Annoying.

    The member of this Modern Music Band who has a Buzzcut Haircut should be barred from having this particular Haircut, and should instead be forced to have a full head of hair; and wear the same hairstyle as yours truly, the owner of this very Blog, with bangs covering his forehead.

    And also, this Modern Music Artist.

    This particular Modern Music Artist needs to comprehend how much more important Amateur/Ham Radio, Commercial Broadcast Radio and Television; and 1960’s-early 1990’s Easy Listening, Adult Contemporary, and Jazz Music all are than Contemporary Music, Sports, and Fitness.

  • Young, Radical Male With Long Hair, And Wearing His Hair Into One Of Those So-Called “Man Buns” Having His Long Hair Cut Off, And Receiving A Haircut That Involves Him Wearing Product In His Hair, And Is Just As Scary As Him Having Long Hair, And Wearing His Long Hair Into One Of Those So-Called “Man Buns”

    December 6th, 2025

    Young, Radical Male With Long Hair, And Wearing His Hair Into One Of Those So-Called “Man Buns” Having His Long Hair Cut Off, And Receiving A Haircut That Involves Him Wearing Product In His Hair, And Is Just As Scary As Him Having Long Hair, And Wearing His Long Hair Into One Of Those So-Called “Man Buns”.

    This young, radical male looked better with his long hair cut off, and his bangs briefly covering his forehead; before the Barber cutting his hair, had put product in his hair.

    The Barber cutting this young, radical male’s hair needs to have his tattoos removed.
