    I think they were trying to do something that was a little less mainstream


    Does Bobcat Goldthwait realize that that commercial was utterly, totally mainstream? It was a silly, predictable joke based on a single tired premise you could see coming at you from miles away like a forest fire.


    It was basically every episode of Two and a Half Men, but with puke.

    I come here for two reasons.


    1) To hear you and Aaron and the rest's commentary on it.


    2) Put my dick mittens on Ryan Tate.

    In my Swedish-American household, the fiscal policy I was taught consisted of "That's expensive put it BACK." So I think the Swedes would make a fine model for our times. Pepparkakor for all!
