As further testimony to my true nerdiness, (as if anyone needed MORE proof) the last night the hubby and I played Trivial Pursuit: The 90's Time Capsule Edition.
I landed on a brown space which signifies "video/tv/film" in this version. Hubby asked the question:
"What motion picture director appeared in a Benneton ad and decried AIDS as a government conspiracy?"
Instantly, I thought of some of the more "hip" and fashionable directors of the 90's. Jim Jarmusch? Gus Van Zandt? Finally I offered my feeble-minded response:
"Michael Moore?"
Hubby replied with his usual zinginess, "Uh, I can't see Michael Moore in a Benneton ad. Now maybe a Bene-TON, ad..."
Whah-whah-whahhhhhhh...
(btw, the correct answer was "Spike Lee")
