On Funny Or Die, Will Ferrell has picked a local commercial by Oklahoma City’s very-own Mr. Spriggs BBQ as his favorite video of the week! Writing on his site, Ferrell says:
Why I love it:
Usually even a good commercial makes me think “Yeah, right. Of course you’re saying that. You wanna sell your thing.” This video makes me want to move to Oklahoma and eat Mr. Spriggs for breakfast, lunch, dinner and Taco Bell fourth meal. Enjoy the joy.
If you ever want to visit OKC, Will, consider this an open invitation - you’ve got a place to stay and the ribs are on me! Move over, Chris Brown - this commercial may be the hottest slow jam of the summer and it’s just begging for a remix! (Thanks to Heath for the heads up!)

Axl Rose is surprisingly cool about Dr. Pepper’s offer to give everyone (except Slash and guitarist Buckethead) a free can of soda if Guns n’ Roses finally release Chinese Democracy this year. Rose said the following via a press release:
“We are surprised and very happy to have the support of Dr. Pepper with our album Chinese Democracy, as for us, this came totally out of the blue. If there is any involvement with this promotion by our record company or others, we are unaware of such at this time. And as some of Buckethead’s performances are on our album, I’ll share my Dr. Pepper with him.”
Looks like Slash will have to buy his own can. Come on, Axl - stop responding to soft drink companies and pull a Jack White on us! Don’t make us call Tommy Hilfiger. (Thanks to Dan for the heads up!)
Dr Pepper has offered its help to solve one of rock music’s greatest challenges - getting Axl Rose to finally release the decade-in-the-works Guns N’ Roses album Chinese Democracy. The soft drink company has launched a blog and says it will give a free can of Dr Pepper to “everyone in America” (excluding ex-GNR members Slash and Buckethead) if Chinese Democracy arrives anytime during the calendar year 2008. While they’re at it, maybe Dr Pepper can do something to help solve Smashing Pumpkins’ PepsiGate.
Spoon frontman Britt Daniel is featured on Cooking With Rockstars discussing the Austin eateries he goes “ga ga” for (including Matt’s El Rancho, Taco Xpress, Ruby’s BBQ, and The Salt Lick) and his penchant for sweets (namely, Cinnamon Toast Crunch). Come on, Ben & Jerry - give Spoon their own flavor based on Britt’s recipe for Cinnamon Toast Crunch Ice Cream! It should be easy enough to name, the band is called Spoon! (Thanks to Shots Ring Out for the heads up!)
