Adjective Abuse


There apparently is a commercial on TV now featuring “The world’s most interesting man”. An embedded video of this critter is a facebook mainstay. PG seldom watches the tube, and had no clue who TWMIM was.
Fortunately for the unwired PG, YouTube/Google has a profligate search engine. All one has to do is type “the most in” and the rest pops up, as if by magic. As it happens, TWMIM is a spokesman for a brand of legal drug. PG chooses not to further publicize this product.
As is the custom at youtube/google, the rest of the search page yields similar entries. Some of these entries are more interesting than whatshisnamethatneedsashave. At the top of the list, under improtant videos, is “The most beautiful man in the world…simon lebon”. SLB had something to do with a band called Duran Duran. Their fifteen minutes of fame was 27 years ago. PG decides that he is not interested in pursuing this.
The next three entries are worlds most dangerous man, most t shirts worn at one time, and most beautiful man part two. PG bites on MBMITWP2. The resulting video is a b&w film of a body building contest, with commentary in a foreign language.
The fourth entry is where we strike pay dirt. It is a video…”It’s A Man’s World – James Brown & Pavarotti”. Mr. P must not have a first name. As the blurb notes say: “James Brown & Pavarotti live!!! This incredible performance is one of the most electrifying collaborations ever assembled. Sheer perfection!!! Sp Thanks to, Enigma Solved “ 911 for the language police, an adjective crime has been committed.
