Oh I wasn't drawing any lines, I'm just 15 years out of the loop and it took me by surprise, is all :downs: I need to start reading comic books again. I meant it more along the lines of "The Rings can choose robots to be their bearers?" then a "Why do they accept robots at all" type deal.

Just trust him, he's right. And it must make them drive faster because I have never seen a JJ driver going less than 20 over the limit.

I've only driven once after smoking weed and I kept looking down at the speedometer and realizing I was going 35 in a 55 and no matter how many times I sped back up to 55 I would look down and I was going 35 again.

There's a new commercial for Post Grains cereal that's pretty annoying. It's basically just has a bunch of women wandering around in a field saying how hard it is to eat right so just eat their lovely cereal instead.

"They say you're supposed to count calories, eat more protein and cut down on carbohydrates, but that is sooooo confusing. Just eat our cereal instead because it's made of grains you see so it's healthy and we're women and everything we put in our bodies is healthy because we're women and we know best!"

Are you kidding? I know way too many people who now cook and eat gluten free because they heard from someone that gluten totally causes all of these horrible things to happen to normal people!

None of them are actually allergic to gluten, of course.

Why do lawyer commercials always have the narrator say "I am a non-attorney spokesperson"? Do lawyers think it makes them seem less ambulance-chasery to not appear in their own commercials or is there actually some sort of law saying they can't?

Also, has anyone ever lost the attention of a member of the opposite sex due to dandruff? I'm not sure I've ever even seen dandruff in real life (to be fair I'm not very observant about that kind of thing) but if you payed attention to commercials you'd think it was one of the top ten problems facing humanity.

Anyone seen those Binder and Binder commercials, I think in the NYC area, where it's the lawyer himself and he's wearing a cowboy hat and suit and the whole thing is super awkward? That's why lawyers don't do their own commercials.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

This has been stuck in my head all loving day. If only there was some way for your TV to tell the station which provider it is already signed up with, so it can broadcast some other ad.

The most annoying part for me is the guy near the end who tries to sing super low and it stands out SO BAD.

Robots aren't female, they're robots! Which is why putting tits on them is weird :arghfist::mad:

For robots that are voiced by men they don't go around sticking a big metal dick on them, do they?

Ignoring this simple concept results in ME3's EDI, a robot with tits and camel toe.
