Whoever came up with this "you'll run the bill up" abomination needs to have his eye shot out with a Red Ryder BB gun in an Old Testament fashion, or suffer an eternity of this:



Is there nothing sacred anymore?

Yeah that really sucks. I hate it even more than I hate most commercials, which is really saying something!

My favorite part of that movie is Randy bundled up so completely that his arms are permanently stuck out like the Michelin Man.

As the first child of a mother who went into overprotective mode until my younger siblings were born I can sympathize.  Oh, and I grew up in Michigan.  That's half the year bundled up like that.

My favorite was when he beat up the local bully.  I had to do a simlar thing to an older bully in my neighborhood at that age to get him to stop picking on me.

It worked.

I actually liked that commercial. It cracked me up almost as much as the movie does. I thought it was a nice homage. But then, I'm a cultureless philistine who if given the chance to be president would make Safety Dance as the national anthem.

I was drinking when I wrote this, so sue me if it goes astray.

I must admit that as a huge fan of the flick I thought the commercial was clever as well.  The production values are really quite good in how it matches up with the film.  After about the third time it became annoying though.

Cultureless philistine though you are, I'd vote for you based solely on the "Safety Dance" platform.  This nation needs to reprioritize, anyway.

There's his cabinet, then.  Boy, this politics is easy.
