This short was produced as part of the 2008 Rapid i Movement Film Competition. The film was produced in 50 hours and ended up winning 1st place in the competition and therefore was also shown at the 2008 Atlanta Film Festival. Seriously, it’s hilarious. Enjoy.

I’ve been devastated ever since Doritos took away their Salsa flavored chips about a year ago. I believe that Salsa was the only Doritos flavor that sufficiently covered each chip with the proper amount of their wonderful flavored powder. One glance in a bag of Salsa doritos and you could immediately see those chips were covered from corner to corner with so much flavor (aka powder) that your head wanted to explode. It was awesome.

Even with the removal of the Salsa flavor, I have maintained my love for all things Doritos and am always anxious to bring each new flavor of Doritos home to my cabinet. Unfortunately in the last year, each flavor has ultimately disappointed me with what I believe is inadequate flavoring and taste. This repeated disappointment made me hesitant to try the new Spicy Sweet Doritos but finally this week curiosity got the best of me.

From the first chip that I pulled out from the Spicy Sweet Doritos bag, I was immediately worried because the chip looked like it had almost no powder on it. I’ve seen this same problem on many other flavors in the past and I hoped it was a single chip mishap. As I looked deeper in this bag, I was distraught to see that all the chips appeared exactly as the first chip. I trucked forward anyway and my first bite immediately surprised me with how much sweet and salty flavor each chip provided. Even though barely visible, these chips had a sufficient amount of the sweet chili flavoring across each chip. Unfortunately, the spicyness was completely non apparent, but I still found myself craving chip after chip. I finished up my 99 cent bag in no time and I was satisfied enough to warrant possibly the purchase of a larger bag. Good job Doritos, you won some of my love back but to truly satisfy me have me, you will have to bring back the Salsa Doritos .

Can be found at Buddy’s on North Highland and pretty much any gas station in the metro area.

If you live in Metro Atlanta and own a car or take the bus, then you have probably have seen the Fitnesswithjeff.com ads that litter MARTA bus benches and also those plastic signs that are posted in the grass of busy intersections. The ads are not really well designed but very simply offer services that promise to rid yourself of flab with such exercises as tennis lessons, weight training and cardio. Seeing these daily on my way home from work, I’ve sometimes wondered if Fitness Jeff actually even existed. Well, yesterday, I finally got my opportunity to find out.

Yesterday, I was sitting at a stop light at Piedmont, I glanced over at a man sitting on a MARTA bench and suddenly I was bombarded by fitnesswithjeff ads from the bench, the man’s shirt and on the truck that was parked directly behind the bench. “Holy shit” I thought, “could this be Fitness Jeff”. The man seemed to be checking out the quality of the work done on the bench ad or maybe washing it down for soon to be MARTA customers. One thing this man wasn’t doing was hiding the fact that he was Fitness Jeff or was absolute obsessed with him. The bench, the shirt and the car were all covered from head to toe with the fitnesswithjeff.com url and silhouette pictures of tennis players and men lifting weights. I can assume but could not confirm this was Fitness Jeff. As the light turned green and I drove away, I was able to take one picture of him to prove what I have seen.

After my run in with Fitness Jeff and my desire to confirm who I had seen, I finally went to fitnesswithjeff.com. After perusing the site and the pictures of him playing tennis, lifting weights and looking fit, I was able to confirm that I saw Fitness Jeff.
