What in the hell does "new vintage" mean? I ask this because earlier tonight, while watching the best show in the whole wide universe (Ron Howard's "Arrested Development"), I caught a glimpse of this Master Card commercial for an internship for a Hoobastank video. In said commercial, this porker is dancing around and making a fool out of himself in front of three women in a desert. During this flamboyant escapade of homosexuality, the Master Card voice is saying stupid things like, "Faded jeans: $35. New vintage shirt, looking stylish but not over-the-top: $48. Blah, blah, blah...." 'New vintage?' I was asking myself while pouring a delicious cup of coffee and awaiting the return of the hilarious Jason Bateman. What in the hell does that mean? And $48?! Did he buy that shit at Abercrombie.

I mean, seriously, who the hell comes up with this stuff? "New vintage." "Hey guys! Check out my new clothes! They are so new vintage!" I mean, if someone built from scratch a 1964 Mustang, would that be new vintage? Perhaps I'm missing something here.

Media people are so fucking stupid. I once had respect for Master Card, but after this debacle, I'm switching to American Express, because it's everywhere you wanna be. Wait, or is that Visa? Fuck, I don't know anymore.
