As is my custom, I completely denied the existence of the Super Bowl this year. I care nothing whatsoever about or for professional sports, and I can’t really see the sense in watching a program simply to see the commercials I otherwise go to great lengths to avoid.
Still, in spite of my strict adherence to non-TV TV-watching, Hulu managed to slip the Dodge “Man’s Last Stand” ad by me. My reaction was somewhat football related, in that it resembled the cry Charlie Brown lets out after Lucy’s punt prank: AAUGH! In other words, I bitterly regretted my decision not to invest in a TV Brick.
While I toyed with the idea of writing a post about my objections—on both pro-woman and pro-man … er, humanist grounds, this parody of the commercial proves that 16 fps × 1:14 is worth ≈ 1000 words.
That is appalling.

Name's Kirsten. I'm a splitter of hairs, a hillbilly, a rock horns devotee, an ellipses-lovin' fool, and queen of the conceptual jinx. I'm also a geek and the grateful human of littleblackdog. I do this and that and some of the other … up to and including writing this here blog.
