You know that travel show Globe Trekker, where some young and charismatic person travels to an exotic (or sometimes not so exotic) location in the world and walks around and talks to locals and sees the sights? I always think I’d be good at that show, except when I remember that occasionally there is mountain-climbing involved. Hell to the no, or rather, no to the thank you.

My favorite cast member on this show is definitely Suffolk-born Ian Wright, who is both charming and British. He always seems to have such a good time, and everything he says sounds cooler because, you know, he’s British. Well apparently the people of Aruba wanted a piece of that too, because they’ve cast him in their new “One Happy Island” tourism campaign. Glad to see him getting work! For some reason the tourism board’s website doesn’t have the ad up yet (even though there are a ton of those Lewis Black commercials archived), so in the meantime, here’s a press release and a clip of Ian being hungover in Globe Trekker.

Update: The ads have been posted! I guess they have been for a month and a half, but, you know, I’m lazy. The first one is embedded below but the rest are at the ArubaTourism YouTube channel.

What in the name of Sharia Law? This Snazzy Napper is a very bad idea for many reasons. For one, it looks stupid. Its website also suggests you use this facekerchief in public places, such as mass transit systems, which can only be the suggestion of someone who’s never lived in the city. This kind of foolishness will get you mugged, beat up or both before you have a chance to take your precious nap. And that’s another thing…who needs sleep this badly? Just go to bed when you get home like everyone else, jackass.

Kathie Lee Gifford is a drunken joy on the fourth hour of The Today Show, but when I was growing up, she was simply the lady on the Carnival Cruise Lines commercials. Here are a couple of classics.
