This Christmas, please don’t encourage my son to become a douchebag

My son Ferris - The BoyTM as we’ve affectionately branded him in ad circles - is a lovable little guy.  He flashes wide, toothless smiles.  He likes to chew on his plush reindeer toy.  And he’s enamored with lamps and other lighting fixtures. I like him. And I want to continue liking him.

So I’m begging everyone this Christmas: Please don’t contribute to making him a raging douche.

Attorney Barry Glazer has a beef. But you already knew that.  You’ve seen his ads on TV - stark, candid stand-ups in which he glares into  the lens and calls out insurance companies in his intense Baltimore drawl.

In perhaps his most infamous spot, he concludes with what may be one of the most recognizable lines in local advertising history: “Don’t urinate on my leg and tell me it’s raining.  Insurance companies, we’re going to court!”

But there’s more to the Baltimore native than quirky commercials.  In an interview with bthesite.com, we talk to Barry Glazer about principles, passions, and pee.

Hi from Josh Spiegel

Hi, I’m Josh Spiegel from the 98 Rock morning show, “Mickey, Amelia and Spiegel”. If you’re unfamiliar with my work, wow, you have really been missing out. I co-host the show and do the news. I’m a huge hit. I mean, incredibly popular. The amazing thing is it hasn’t gone to my head.

When I was asked to write a blog on bthesite.com, I did not hesitate to say no. I actually shouted no. When asked a second time, I said no and shouted even louder. When asked a third time, I once again rejected the offer. I demanded the site be renamed joshspiegel.com. That demand was shot down. I was told it would be named bthesite.com and that satisfied my requirements.
