Does Ellen's blog feature a Frank cameo?
Sure, as part of the The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ellen keeps a Movable Type-powered blog with peeks behind the scenes of her popular daytime show. But when Ellen posted her recent American Express commercial, we couldn’t help but notice something a little bit unusual.
At about 1:15 into the ad, Ellen talks to a goat named Frank. Now, LiveJournal’s mascot has always been Frank the Goat, and as his LiveJournal and comic strip attest, Frank’s always ready for his closeup. We can’t definitively prove that Ellen’s got our goat, but the potential of a Frank cameo was at least worth pointing out.
And of course, American Express is no stranger to Movable Type-powered blogs either, having run a number of targeted blogs for years with sites ranging from mmmChicago to Entertainment Access Spotlight. Now all they need is more ruminants popping up from time to time and they’ll be all set.
