Doesn't this book look great?

Is it just me, or is it very strange to have a commercial for a book?

Today I saw a commercial selling James Patterson's "SAIL".
At first it was confusing because I thought "they can't be selling a book, that's too weird!" How can you represent a book through visuals and audio when it is an object filled with written words? Is it strange only to me?

Sure I broke the law...but it wasn't here...

I have a question.

You know how certain jobs require you to take drug tests?
You know how marijuana stays in your system for a while?

Well...

What if you got a job in January, then went to Amsterdam at the end of January. Then, in Amsterdam, where smoking pot is legal, you, well, smoked pot. Then you came back, took a drug test, and failed (due to the lurking marijuana in your system). Would you be fired from you job? Because you weren't breaking the law...

Or maybe the job description says you couldn't do drugs while employed there...then in that case, I guess you were breaking the rules. But if you were halfway across the globe where smoking pot is legal, I don't understand why you should be penalized.


I dunno.
