television-induced comma (and other punctuation, and letters)...

I'd like to begin this presentation by saying if this were 9/12/2001, that Chevy commercial where the people jump out of buildings in order to get to the model year-end clearance would be very, very offensive.

But it ain't, so it's just a another bad car commercial.

Next slide, please.

Ah, yes. Okay, the fact that we're hearing Fall Out Boy on the commercials for the movie "Zoom" creates, for me, mixed emotions: on the one hand, the bad hand, that is, it forces you to listen to a snippet of the song unless you're quick with the mute button. On the other hand, though, the good one this time, it's a very solid indicator that the song, and therefore the band that wrote it, is finally dying a slow, painful death.

Next - ooh, you anticipated me that time. Well done.

Here we have an example of one of the finest commercials ever made, a real slump-buster after the annoying fare with which they'd been attempting to ply us.

I give you Dunkin' Donuts:

"The backs of my LEEEEEEEEEEEGS!

*pause*

Stickin' to the PLEATHERRRRRRR!"
