 |

I literally had tears in my eyes laughing at this one the other night. The You Tube version doesn't show the laser as well as the TV spot.
The best part:
"Ohhh...you fixed ME spine." I think the actor at the end was really funny with the way he said his lines.

Very, very funny. Thanks for the link and pointer.

I need me one of them surplus store models for walkin' down dark streets on dark nights! Help me "light up" any obstacles that come my way.
Edit: Holy Cow Batman! I was looking for a photo of Darth Vader with a light saber to illustrate my thought. And then I found this:
I don't remember that outfit in any part of the SW sextet.

Would that it were that simple. After being hit by a car, three surgeries on my back, one on my neck, five months in rehab, and lots of physical therapy I still look like the before picture. I'm very glad that I can walk at least. Thank goodness for VO work, and an understanding, supportive theater company. As far as SAG goes, well I'm first to be considered for those hospital bed and nursing home scenes. At least it's union pay.
I just sat here trying to decide if I should send this reply. I dn't ean to make anyone feel badly that they laughed at this commercial. It's all in the eye of the beholder. Oh what the heck, here goes. Click.

Wow, I am really sorry Chrissy. I would never make fun of someone with a disability. My sister has a severe disability and is in a wheel chair and I do not make fun of people with disabilities. I should have been more sensitive to that matter though.
I just loved the way the older man at the end added a ME instead of my. It was more of a make shift accent of some sort along with the look on his face, which was really funny to me. Not the fact he may have had spinal issues or a really bad back. That to me is not funny. I hope you understand what I am saying here. Maybe I have dug a bigger hole.
Not sure I should post on this board anymore....I always get these kind of responses when I do.
Again, I apologize. I have edited my post.

Ben, you shared a commercial that made you smile.
No one is making fun of anything in this ad.

Ben, No offense taken. I'd hate to see you leave the board over this. If I weren't in this situation I probably would have found it funny as well. As I said it's all in the eyes of the beholder. Today is a new day. let's just take it from here.
cheers,
Chrissy |

It's a cute spot. I liked how the ship in the "Old Ironsides"painting was righted. Thanks for the post, Ben.
Sorry to hear of your situation Chrissy. Get better everyday.

Certainly puts the 'sex' in sextet, don't it? It's great to see a girl get such effective support from a skimpy garment.
