    One of the most disturbing commercials of my lifetime

    And without a doubt, the best way to explain the Financial Collapse of 2008 in 1 minute or less.







    That is art.

      Disturbing?

      I think it's pretty funny. I'm certainly not a Hummer vehicle fan (all Hummers suck in my opinion) but that's not even close to the cause of the financial collapse of 2008. That was due to banks expecting bailouts if their gambles on derivatives, CDOs, and sub-prime mortgages went south. They were correct, they got the bailouts.

        It would have been better if the Finish Line clotheslined him.
        The year's at the spring
        And day's at the morn;
        Morning's at seven;
        The hill-side's dew-pearled;
        The lark's on the wing;
        The snail's on the thorn:
        God's in his heaven—
        All's right with the world!

          Well, that made me laugh hard enough to wake up the dogs.

          You really are sort of a bad influence, aren't you? And your sister, too.
