Usually, we find beer commercials funny -- like the Miller Lite online dating spoof, or those Coors spots with the coaches. And that's good, because this Sunday we're going to be bombarded with them. I'm just hoping that none of the Super Bowl debuts will paint women in a shallow, needy light like this Miller Lite commercial:


This commercial has been airing all football season, and every time it comes on, it makes my blood boil. Watching this whiny, needy chick ask her boyfriend to choose her over his dog and his mom? Well, as fellow Lemondrop editor Julieanne says, this "makes us sound like shrill a-holes." And that little storm-away-from-the-table hissy fit that follows? Drives us up a wall. Pretty much all the girls I know -- and most guys, too -- drink light beer when we're watching the game or with friends. I don't know why they feel like they have to alienate half their audience.

Seeing Miller cast us as childish, attention-seeking brats makes me want to slam down my Miller Lite and become a Bud girl. Amirite, ladies?

Terri Carlson has been proposed to well over 1,000 times this week.

The 45-year-old divorced mother from California has taken her search for a husband worldwide via YouTube, and while she says she is looking for love, there's something she's looking for even more: health insurance.

"I don't care what you look like. But what I do care about is how good your health insurance is. So, you want me to respond to you? Attach your health-care benefit information," she practically purrs into the Web cam.

Below the video, a line of comments continues to grow: "I sent you a message an hour ago on a different video, but let me add, with military insurance, as long as we use a military doctor, it's free and it's for life. I offer this to you. Contact me!"

"I am not a drinker, and I don't smoke or ever hit a woman. I don't argue, I am 55, decent-looking and financially responsible," says one potential husband.

Another reply simply states, "Give Canada a shot."

The attention is flattering, but Carlson also knows that the flirting could save her life.

Tired of waiting for health-care reform that she no longer believes is coming, last week she launched Will Marry for Health Insurance, a Web site on which she lays herself, and her problems, out for all the world to see. Ever since, the media has flocked.

But is she a savvy victim, a poster woman for the uninsured masses? Or maybe even a reality TV star in the making? After the jump, Lemondrop's exclusive interview with the embattled mom.

Kelly Rips on Taylor
While defending her shaky Grammy performance, a record exec at Taylor Swift's label took a subtle dig at "American Idol" and there was one "Idol" who took offense. Kelly Clarkson shot back a snippy response on her blog. (via I'm Not Obsessed)

Calling All Entrepreneurs!
Jennifer Aniston is single (A-GAIN) and she's reportedly looking to nab a "wealthy businessman." Narcissistic male musicians need not apply. (via In Case You Didn't Know)

Motormouth: Anne Hathaway

We've posted many a pointless site over the last year-and-a-half, but this one -- Selleck Waterfall Sandwich -- tops them all. And we don't think we're going out on a limb here. The blog features just what it promises: (Photoshopped) images of Tom Selleck, a waterfall and a sandwich. And believe it or not, it makes for pretty incredible browsing. More of our faves after the jump.

Whether your motive is frugality, concern for the environment, or an obsession with sparkly surfaces, know that you probably already have most of the ingredients you need to get a sparkly-clean (chemical-free) home lurking somewhere in your closets.

I began using natural cleaning products when my father was diagnosed with a rare and untreatable form of brain cancer. Nobody really knew exactly what had caused it, but I decided that toxic chemicals and known carcinogens contained in cleaning products and cosmetics were no longer welcome in my home. Call me crazy, but I was over coating my house, or my body, in a fine layer of poison and rubbing it in.

A year ago, when the economy really fell through and I found myself eating primarily out of garbage cans, I decided I could no longer justify spending seven bucks on a bottle of toilet cleaner or organic shampoo, so I took to the Internet for cheap, natural, homemade alternatives. It turns out the options are countless! Well, I could probably have counted them, but it would have taken a long time, and I'm really lazy.

Being the giant sack of lazy bones that I am, I also needed stuff that actually worked; i.e. "elbow grease" should not be a primary ingredient. In addition to finding stuff with actual cleaning power, I also learned that I already had most of the ingredients in my home, and even if I didn't, I could have easily stocked up for around 20 bucks.
