Just a random list of "People Who Need to Go Away"... 1. Harry at the Dunk (quietly & quickly) 2. Mr. "My Pillow.com" (please) 3. Chris 'sleeping' Mullins (already?) 4. Telemarketers (all) 5. Seth 'SI righteous' Davis (smarmy) 6. Doug 'laptop' Gottlieb (same as above) 7. JEB (enough already) 8. Jay 'Dookie' Bilas (prissy sissy) 9. Dickie 'loose lips' V (retire baby) 10. ANYONE who tells me "You are ALL SET" (really now?) 11. Add "Have a Good One" to "All Set" (a good what?) 12. Tailgating drivers (Get OFF me a$$) Well WTM, it appears that you've got a grass roots effort aimed at item #2 on your list: www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/your-zs-might-be-aplus-but-mypillow-just-got-rated-an-f/ar-BBxTGu1?OCID=ansmsnnews11

Dex and I have had this very conversation. An iconic figure like J.Goldsmith has been placed on mothballs, on account of the fact that Dos Equis is chasing a younger demographic. To this end, I don't have much in common with the replacement...and would just assume he go away. PS. The new guy looks like a long haired and disheveled clone of Michael Phelps. Word has it, that they haven't been seen in the same room together...

Nearly cartoonish.
He has none of the panache of J Goldsmith.
Marketing to millennials can be perplexing to those who are not.

The Michael Phelps comparison is perfect....and more perfect after Michael is away from swimming for awhile.
Somewhere out over the horizon J. Goldsmith is bird-dogging beaver.

LOL On a serious note, my younger brother ('86) has spotted J.Goldsmith a couple of times at a really cool restaurant/pub on the NYS/VT line. Johnny has to know of the roadside hot-spot, as its near a Lake where his family have frequently gathered through the years. My guess is that Johnny's spotted "The Most Interesting Man" in person. Why else would he be sporting the white beard? And where did you get the life sized cut-out of J. Goldsmith from?

OMG that was so funny when "Johnnypc" presented me with that huge cutout at the Dunk and we propped it up in a seat.

Agree on new guy - not so interesting at all...
Ironically the freakin' My "magic" Pillow was the ONLY thing my bride wanted for Christmas - so Santa delivered and she loves it - go figure.
Add to my list?
John 'Live Shot" Kerry who in addition to insulting Israel of late actually went on a "tour" of Antartica two weeks ago to personally inspect global warning. Great use of taxpayer money you lame duck - take you pink bike and ride off pal...

WTM - You're going to rue each morning, when your wife tells you what a nice sleep she had - thanks to "My Pillow". That, or she's going to wear you down into getting one yourself. Don't be sneaking any mid-day naps, in order to have that pillow all for yourself!
As for Kerry...he like the Obama family (including Michelle's Mom and Sasha who deferred college for the final year of POTUS' term - for a reason!) had a bucket list that they needed to complete before their tax payer financed, charmed lives turn back into a pumpkin in a few weeks - not that Mr. Ketchup needs any taxpayer $$$ to inspect global warming for himself. For fear of clogging the atmosphere with pollutants from his government aircraft, I suppose that Kerry used a glider to fly down to the South Pole for this all important "inspection" (?). He could have saved us all a few $$$ and simply watched an episode of NOVA in a walk-in cooler.
But wait, if not them, then who would have performed all important, international tasks in 2016 such as:
1. Throwing flowers in bodies of water such as the Rio de la Plata River in Argentina 2. Laying ceremonial wreaths at places like Bueno Aires Cathedral; Hiroshima Bombing site... 3. Partaking in sightseeing tours (Old Havanna, Cuba; Tour London's - Shakespear Globe; Hiroshima bombing site; Visit to Christopher Columbus' remains in Seville; Atoll - National Park on his way back from a summer jaunt to Hawaii; The Acroplis in Athens...) 4. Celebrity Chef Dinner with Anthony Bourdain in Hanoi; 5. Lavish State Dinners in Cuba; Argentina; Luncheon with Queen Elizabeth; Dinner with Wills and Kate at Kennsington Palace; Lunch in Hanoi; 6. Sporting Events including a Tampa Bay Rays vs. Cuban National Team exhibition game in Havana 7. Leisure Activities including hikes in Argentina's - National Park; Golf with Prime Minister Cameron...not to mention all of the domestic golf outings in Martha's Vineyard, Florida, Hawaii 8. Influence A Foreign Elections when POTUS dropped by London, in order to urge Brits to vote for UK to remain in the EU (hey, I thought that stuff wasn't allowed!!
With a schedule this busy, is there any wonder why the Obama's didn't schedule a "Date Night" in NYC in 2016?

These nitwits during the farewell tour are actually touting their foreign policy "accomplishments':
Giving Iran the bomb
sleeping thru the death of 4 Americans in Benghazi and then lying about it (pardon that video guy for crice sakes)
the red line in Syria..1/2 million killed since and Assad still in power and Russia is the new sheriff
Russian Re-set
North Korea can reach Callyfornia
China trade deficit a trillion under this admin
and on and on and on the world on fire including Europe in absolute chaos
These A-Holes have turned everything they touched to scamorze

All part of a campaign to shore up his "Legacy", or perhaps he's targeting a 2nd Nobel Prize ($1M) to help pad his and Michelle's transition back into public life.
