"Postmodernism is a change-or-be-changed world. The word is out: Reinvent yourself for the 21st century or die! Some would rather die than change." Leonard Sweet, cultural historian.

“Sack” or “snack?” It got my attention.

I noted with interest last night that the True North nut company has altered the audio on its now infamous “nut sack” commercials.

The new ad now just says “an extraordinary snack.” One has to wonder, of course, if the whole “nut sack” thing wasn’t deliberate. It’s a fairly popular video on YouTube, and if it was deliberate to call it a “nut sack,” I’d give it a mixed review. Hell yes, it got my attention, but I was so shocked by the thing that I never could remember the name of the company. True North. Oh yeah.
