I’d like to read the description from the J Peterman catalog.

That irreverence, that wit. I’d recognize it anywhere.

The horror...

Frank Stallone?

KUDOS ELAINE....ON A JOB....DONE.

You may know it as the Heart of the Ocean, but it’ll always be Burma to me.

It’s a phrase that’s wonderfully resistant to an exact meaning, innit? Quality marketing.

I’m surprised the real J. Peterman didn’t sue or do something. Seinfeld is all I can think of when I read J. Peterman.

Can you really put a price on the experience of allowing someone to unnecessarily succumb to hypothermia and drown, though?

Do y0u think they used a real sapphire in the movie, friend? Would you like to buy the authentic reproduction of that sapphire? Yes? Have I got a deal for you!

I assume “authentic reproduction” means they’re claiming to manufacture essentially the same thing as the vintage item which inspired it, rather than a cheaper version that superficially resembles the original article. Like, for example, to reproduce “The Executive,” they wouldn’t just do a generic beltless

A bad decision was made by the leader of the J. Peterman company in 1996? We all know who was to blame:

I suppose their Roomba is pushing the “I’m still watching” button?

If Netflix knows what I’m watching all the time, then why does it have to keep asking me if I’m still watching?

Word.

it is like Netflix has never met a child

First twitter reply from that post:

I think it’s pretty clear that he isn’t healthy right now, he’s gained a lot of weight probably from the drinking but even drinking isn’t an excuse. Your a 44 year old father of 3 and married grow up.

Why is Craig Kilborn kicking photographers in the face?
