When I was a child I went to elementary school with a very nice boy named BJ. One day BJ disappeared and didn't return until Jr. High, and suddenly everybody was calling him Will. Everyone besides me, of course, because I'd known this kid since Kindergarten and his name was BJ! What the?
"Hi, BJ!" The poor boy's face looked pale. "It's Will," BJ told me firmly. I was baffled. What was the big deal about me calling him BJ, anyway? That was his name, wasn't it? Truly, I was puzzled.
Sadly, it would be years and years before I would figure out why a pubescent boy might not want to be referred to as BJ. But who knew? Certainly not me!
And I digress. At the risk of sounding juvenile, is there a reason why the woman in the BJ's Wholesale commercial is rocking a large, phallic looking, 80's style microphone? Furthermore, is there an explanation as to why she needs to be holding a microphone at all? All I'm saying is, with a name like BJ's...
Just wondering. Because it looks kind of...dirty.
You are a per-vert.

There's also a large african american gentleman behind her, coincidence?

Yes, it totally was!! Poor Will did not want me calling him BJ.
