Perhaps a dark-humored suggestion that he could have used one at Ford's Theater?!

Well, maybe a little. In a cool sort of way.

Anyway, I love it, and thanks for finding the You Tube video. I was looking for it the other day.

I think it's way less obnoxious than a lot of commercials on TV. Low-key.

No shouting. No ear splitting noises.

No bullshit, like this Chico's ad I just saw for some slimming pants.

Yeah...sure. They put a pair of skinny pants on a model who can't be bigger than a size 1 and call them "slimming".

Fuck them. Their pants are NEVER going to make me look like that, and they don't even have my size.

errr...sorry for the rant.



Anyway, I'll take slightly creepy over bullshitty any day.

Do you get paid something to induce people to watch this innocuous advertisement?
