Okay, so I'm not sure that any of you have ever thought of me as being cool, hip, with it, etc. However, just in case you were so disillusioned, this post is going to change your mind. I was driving over to my food co-op at the ridiculous hour of 6:30 A.M. on Saturday listening to the radio when this over-the-top sexy voice came on encouraging me to eat beef.
Who was that voice?
I'm sure you know the answer.
Matthew McConaughey.
And oh my goodness it was sexy. I'm pretty sure it ranks among the best work he has done in years if not in like forever. Upon hearing this ad I immediately had two thoughts (this is where you will realize how not "with it" I am): First: I must share this on my blog. Only, when I got home and googled the ad I discovered that McConaughey has been doing this since 2008. How did I possibly miss this for nearly 3 years? I like to think that it can all be attributed to my channel surfing ways when it comes to commercials, but the more likely explanation is that I just wasn't paying attention to the "important" stuff. And second: I must find some beef. Fortunately the saner part of my brain stepped in, acknowledged the sexiness of the ad, and then insisted I stick with the slightly-healthier turkey burger on the menu for Monday's in-the-kitchen BBQ (booo rain).
Just in case you are as out of touch as I am, here is similar ad (with pics added by funny or die):
I wonder what McConaughey would be like as an audio book reader. Annoying or able to suck you in to the most boring topic possible?

The first movie I saw after my mission was Contact, on the airplane. MM plays a spiritually minded intellectual in it. And he is smoking hot. After an 18 month famine, I was totally in love. I'm talking deep smit. I quickly learned that real men are not like pretend men. Still, pretending is fun. Where's the beef??
