Flo
Friday's Favorite Find is: Flo!
Progressive.com commercials are some of my favorite. Why? Because of Flo. Who is she? Where did she come from? I have no idea, but she's got a big tricked out name tag.
If you remember, Progressive's commercials used to be rather boring. All you saw was a bunch of cars with Progressive printed on the side while some announcer talked about road side assistance. Needless to say, it was fairly boring. That's not how a commercial should be. Businesses want their commercial to grab your attention so they can communicate their message. For reasons unknown to me, Progressive.com introduced Flo. I think it was one of the best choices they've ever made. Every time Flo's on the screen, I give her my undivided attention. Does this mean I'm going to by insurance from Progressive? I don't know, but when I think of insurance companies, Progressive is usually first to pop into my mind, all thanks to Flo.

this is ONE of my favorites...
ok this is one of my OTHER favorites... i just have a lot.
"Top Gear"
Today’s pick comes from the other side of the pond, the BBC TV series "Top Gear." Yes, it’s a car show, but not just a dry,boring car show. This car show is different. It's funny, it's clever, it's answers important questions like:
In a one on one chase through a city mall which would win, a Ford Fiesta or a Chevy Corvette?
Just what does it take to destroy a Toyota pick-up truck? (A lot more than you’d think.)
Is it faster to get to the north pole by way of Sled Dogs or a 4x4?
And of course my personal favorite, what does it take to get shot on a road trip across the “barbaric” state of Alabama?
The show’s hosts Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and The Stig, provide plenty of humor plus actual car knowledge.

I have two words for all of you television watchers out there.
Arrested Development.
Yes that is right. It is one of the funniest shows that never got popular. If you have not seen it I strongly suggest that you jump on Hulu.com and check it out. If you love the office, or heck if you love TV, you will love this. Who doesn't love a good dysfunctional family?
When you finish watching all three seasons (in two weeks because your addicted) you will realize what a travesty it is that it was canceled. Check it out.
