I find the commercial below absolutely hilarious, for a variety of reasons that would take much longer to explain than it will take you to just watch the commercial:

THE TICKETS ARE NOW DIAMONDS!
The thing I find most impressive about this commercial, after watching it for the twelfth time, is that it appears to be done [...]

Here at 4d2 dot org, we get a lot of spam. Most of it I just flush out of the SpamAssassin quarantine, but sometimes one arrives that looks particularly amusing. This one is my new favorite.

Four Hundred Forty-Three Cans of Frozen Egg Product

Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca Cola
