...other thing Blades has in common with Ferrell's other comedies is... it's OK. Nobody in charge here - not directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck (their first feature, after doing the gecko Geico ads), not the quintet of credited writers (Jeff and Craig Cox, Busy Philipps, John Altschuler and David Krinsky), certainly not Ferrell - is even remotely trying to make a great film. It has the slapdash air of a movie that was a little more fun to shoot than to watch. To say that Blades is a little sharper than Kicking and Screaming, but not nearly so smart...
...every Seiku vote.Fortunately, the program “Survivor: Jim Crow South” is not a real TV show. Instead it remains merely an inspired concept, just like that show “Tiny House” (which millions were upset to learn was actually a clever Geico ad). Unfortunately, a similar, albeit toned-down, version of it just premiered last Thursday on CBS.

Commercials for national brands like Geico and Volkswagen can now be heard along with spots for Verbal Advantage vocabulary builders (one of Limbaugh's early sponsors), sexual potency pills and "clinical hypnotherapist" Wendi Friesen's promises of happiness, weight loss and freedom from nicotine addiction if you'll just let her talk in your sleep...
This year's college graduates face a rosier jobs picture than last year's class, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which forecasts a 13% increase in hiring. A survey out last week from CollegeGrad.com reports that Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Geico Direct and the FBI, among other employers, plan more than 1,900 entry-level hires each during 2004. But predictions can overshoot reality. Overall job growth is still falling short of economists' estimates, with unemployment hovering at 5.6%. --By Barbara Kiviat
