There's a series of commercials for Halos (are they clementines?) with little kids getting angry at their parents for eating or giving away the last one. One of them is really creepy. The dad wakes up and finds a head of a stuffed animal horse in his bed and his little daughter in the doorway with the creepiest look in her eyes. The last shot is of the dad at the grocery store buying more and the daughter brushing the tail of the stuffed horse with no head. Seems awfully violent for a comical ad. Not only creepy and violent, but they missed the whole point of the horse's head. In The Godfather, a man was "encouraged" to do what the Corleones wanted when they cut off his prize stallion's head and put it in his bed. As in, "See what we can do to the things you love?" The mafiosi didn't sacrifice their own horse, like the little girl did. I've spent way too much time thinking about this.

Lady Gaga wouldn't be so cold if she'd put some damn clothes on!

The Geico commercial with the spy guy whose mom calls in the middle of an escape. The woman playing his mother is incredible. "The squirrels are back. Your dad says it's personal this time." flips page of magazine "It's very loud where you are - are you taking a Zumba class?"
I wish there were Oscars for commercials. She's awesome.

Love that commercial! Especially the squirrels scampering about in the back yard!

Love that mom--but I also love the voiceover shots of son kick-fighting bad guys with the phone to his ear and a confused look on his face!

Mom ignores as she starts talking about squirrels. I kinda want to meet the mom of whoever wrote that commercial. She must be amazing.

I am loving the Directv "Settlers" ads. "Hoping for a fertile spring!" "All right." "The boy has his stick and hoop ... and you have your cabbages." The delivery of lines kills me!

"Now, go churn some butter. And make your own clothes!" "Yes, Father."
