    There's a guy here running for city council named Vinnie Bacon, which is one of the all-time great names that the writers on The Sopranos didn't come up with.

    His campaign ads end with footage of a dog edited to make the dog say "Bacon. Bacon! Bacon!!! Bacon for city council!" It makes me smile every time because it's corny and yet catchy.
