This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

That's amazing. Lol. I missed that commercial in the original passing, so this was my first time getting to see it!

HEHE I remember when it aired, I found it a bit cathartic. Poking fun at that madness helped compartmentalize it.
