Has anyone else seen this ad?

I first caught this commercial the other night. It's ridiculous for so many reasons:

1. Gary Coleman, perhaps more desperate to make a dollar than ever before.
2. They couldn't have at least put a telephone book under Gary? As is, he can't even see the vents on the dashboard.
3. Pause the clip at the very end when the fine print shows. Take a look at the APR.
4. Take a look again.

  7. Just so you know, it took a lot of effort on my part not to compare Mr. Coleman to the creator of this site. A lot.

  8. Rob, G:TB appreciates the 5-star review on the GNUru list, but can do without the commentary.

  9. Would this commercial work as well if Emmanuel Lewis were starring in it? I say no.

    Actually, is Emmanuel Lewis still alive?

  13. I think of this "commercial" more as a public service announcement to keep your young ones out of the child-actor scene. I mean the Gary Coleman route is even a best case scenario...
