He advertises "ocean views" from a building at Wilshire @ Normandie. Seems unlikely unless the building is 100 storeys tall, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Also, the return of my favorite ad: the beautiful blonde stepping out of the swimming pool at a DTS property in Beverly Hills. Someone clumsily photoshopped a red bikini on top of the previous yellow swimsuit. Why bother? Weird! DTS had two ads running this past weekend.

What a pleasant surprise to see that he had not one but two ads in Saturday's LAT, both promoting the Holocaust Memorial service. His mug shot is prominently featured, of course. Saturday's ads also corrected some of the egregious spelling errors from a couple of weeks ago. I can't speak or write Hebrew, but I bet if you ran a spell-check on the Hebrew text in the ads you'd find a couple of speling misteaks!

Just wanted you to know about the Santa Monica Playhouse Education Conservatory programs for kids ages 4 to 17, with special Early Stages Create-a-Play workshop for little ones ages 4 to 6, and the Tuesday afternoon Mommy (or Daddy) and Me Enchanted Lunchtime Fairytale Theatre program - an interactive theatre experience with crafts, story-telling, sing-a-longs, face painting, enactment of a fairytale, and a picnic lunch! Both of these activities are a super way for kids to learn to appreciate theatre, have fun making new friends, and expand their creative imagination and communication skills! Hi!

It reminds me of the time he asked the head coach of the Clippers to wrap players ankles so he wouldn't have to hire a trainer. The coach was dumbfounded, and refused.
