Okay, so I keep seeing these T-Mobile MyTouch 3G with Google pop-up ads (here's the site; click if you dare).  And they keep having these same four people in it, and so today there's one of these stupid pop-up ads where they walk around the screen and you have to find the hidden X to make them go away (somebody should rot in hell for inventing those damn things) and I say to myself "is that really Dana Carvey?"

Yes, Virginia, it is Dana Carvey.  And he's joined by Chevy Chase, Molly Shannon, and some guy who I have no idea who he is.  That's right, folks, nothing says high-tech modernity like a comedy lineup straight out of 1984!

Although to be fair, Chevy Chase has stopped impersonating Gerald Ford and is now doing a bang-on Dick Cheney, so he's at least contemporized.  Damn, he's let himself go.

But seriously, WTF?  Google has a gazillion dollars, and these are the lame-ass celebrity spokespeople that they showcase?  Three failed SNL former cast members and some guy who looks like Al Gore's half-wit stepbrother?  What's next, they'll try to go all edgy and get Andrew "Dice" Clay?
