That first Head On Spoof is great! I'd like to look at the rest of them, but I'm at work -- 2 hours early. I feel like applying a brick wall directly to my forehead.

(I found this link on a dance forum.)
Freixenet has a new ad for Cordon Negro featuring Gwynneth Paltrow and Angel Corrella, a world-famous Spanish ballet dancer. Enter a contest and you could win a signed photo of this unusual pareja!

I'm still giggling uncontrollably over that Super Bowl Snickers commercial. It was rude, sophmoric, and not too flashy.

Charlize was so freakin hot in that commercial!!!! That ad was such a tease though. The camera remained above her neck after she was fully undressed. What a rip! _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

Well, of course she was.... She's South African, after all.... And Afrikaans...
Now, if only we could teach you Americans to pronounce her surname correctly.... _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.

Hey Andre, aren't most Afrikaaners just Dutch-Africans anyway? How many of you guys are actually French or English or whatever else? Aren't moost of you just descendants of Dutch colonists, and essentially Dutch by ancestry? _________________ Operation Northwoods - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

I don't get it. Why is the fast food industry up in arms?
I guess they think it's disparaging, um, "rapid culinary technicians" as having a menial job.
That's exactly it. Well, actually it's the National Restaurant Assocation that's making all the fuss.

Federline fast-food spot assailed
By The Associated Press
Columbus, Ohio - A restaurant trade group says it is insulted by an insurance company's planned Super Bowl ad that stars Kevin Federline as a fast-food worker.
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co.'s 30-second spot shows Federline, who is estranged from pop princess Britney Spears, performing in a glitzy music video. However, the punch line is that he's daydreaming - while cooking french fries at a fast-food joint.
The ad amounts to a "strong and direct insult to the 12.8 million Americans who work in the restaurant industry," wrote National Restaurant Association President and Chief Executive Steven Anderson in a letter to Nationwide CEO Jerry Jurgensen.
The commercial "would give the impression that working in a restaurant is demeaning and unpleasant," Anderson wrote.
If the Columbus-based insurer airs the spot during the televised Feb. 4 Super Bowl, Anderson said his organization will "make sure that our membership - many of whom are customers of Nationwide - know the negative implications this ad portrays of the restaurant industry." A Nationwide executive shrugged off the criticism, saying that where humor is involved, there always will be somebody who doesn't get it.
The company doesn't mean to offend restaurant employees, said Steven Schreibman, vice president of advertising and brand management.
"We're not making fun of anybody, except maybe Kevin Federline." Spears, 25, filed for divorce from 28-year-old Federline in November, after two years of marriage. They have two sons, 4-month-old Jayden James and 1-year-old Sean Preston.
