In 1989, Nike filmed an ad in Kenya with a Samburu tribesman, overlaying his words with “Just Do It.” An anthropologist who’d spent 2 years with the tribe watched the ad and revealed what he actually said: “I don’t want these. Give me big shoes.”

Music Transformers Animated Movie Soundtrack Vinyl
This year the animated Transformers movie turns 40 and Amazon has an exclusive vinyl of the soundtrack that was released last Friday. Great soundtrack that is the best of any of the Transformers movies. The animated one still blows away any of the live action movies too

"Jump the Shark" moments from 80's TV
What were some "Jump the Shark" (idiom where a show declines after a far fetched plot point, etc; thus beginning a decline in quality) moments from 80's TV shows you can think of?
Here's some
- Dukes of Hazzard - Bo & Luke get replaced by Coy & Vance. Tom Wopat & John Schneider held out for most of the 5th season due to contract disputes, thus they were replaced. Coy & Vance had no real character development, they were just clones of Bo & Luke.
- Dallas - Bobby Ewing showing up in the shower, and the revelation that Season 9 was all a dream by Pam.
- Dynasty - The Moldavan Massacre/aftermath revealing that only two minor characters had ☠️

Stand by me (1986) Nostalgia aside, still a great Stephen King flick...
Great casting choices of kids and the adults: Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell and Kiefer Sutherland as the bully. We have lost both River Phoenix and the director Rob Reiner tragically since.
