Most car commercials are insipid, but this one is frighteningly insipid:

Via Sullivan.

I suppose a part of me really should have been expecting that.

BUT NOT THE PART THAT PISSED ITSELF.

What, no warning? Geesh, good thing I had the volume turned down. Just for that I won't invite you to party with the Fremont Troll for free tonight.

i saw that a couple of years ago, but with a much better set-up. it was in an email, and talked about the amazing car commercial that had to be canned because of the spooky ghost that was seen on the set. the email says to look real closely as the car comes out of the other side of the trees, and you will see a long lost hitch-hiker, or something like that. nothing quite as embarrassing as high pitching screaming while in the office.

Calling it insipid worked much better as a setup for me. And my apologies, on behalf of everyone here, for not staying on top of all the latest memes. We are all pop-culture failures, and we will all try harder.

That's a German TV advertisement for some sort of energy drink.

I can't go back to work. I just got fired for surfing this website.
