Five NFL Saturday Commercial Notes

> As an Eagles fan, I feel better knowing that Wade Philips and Tony Romo will mindlessly go with a play call that's obviously wrong, rather than take a timeout or audible at the line. Now, all we have to do is keep Jimmy Jones out of the coordinator's box.

> Is anyone else saddened beyond words that the Daily Show's Rob Riggle is now shilling for Budweiser? Let the spirit of Bill Hicks, who is frankly far more powerful than the spirit of Sean Taylor could ever be, inform you, Rob. (Warning: Naughty words and A-list Americans whoring themselves out on Japanese commercials await.)



> Does the ad agency that sold Toyota on the idea that a World of Warcraft mock really think that, um, truck drivers play World of Warcraft? Way to lock up that redneck D&D player market, people.

> Why do truck buyers want to see stunt drivers nearly kill themselves on closed courses with moves that I should not attempt? Isn't there a bigger market in the blooper role for such things?

> Is there anything about the return of American Gladiators that can't be achieved with Google Image search, some lotion, and a tissue box? No? Didn't think so. Glad we got that all cleared up. Happy wanking!
