Which brings me to a commercial for Mountain Dew soda last night. I laughed my butt off! You see cops in the street talking through a bull horn to someone in an upstairs apartment. They tell him to lay his weapons down and give up. Just then, the swat team breaks down the door and there sitting on the floor is a guy with sock puppets on each hand, giving the people in the street a puppet show. Across the center of the screen it says, “FACT: In New York City it is illegal to use sock puppets.” Then it is told that this is brought to you by Mountain Dew. See, people are waking up!
Which led her to this.
