Volkswagon's "The Bark Side" Commercial
— Ace

Actually this may just be a teaser, it says, for some other commercial to air during the Super Bowl.

Volkswagon has released a listing of which dog is supposed to be which character.

4 We need to add some CGI cats and maybe put trees around. They would have trees. And a giant scaly dog, kind of like a dinosaur. And we need some sort of spaceship race.

I love the one in the lower right, we need more of him.

Do you have the 1/8-scale dolls of these yet?

Posted by: ErikW at January 20, 2012 05:46 PM (mqV0Z) After the Christmas party half the office girls were drunk and piled into the back of my Subaru. I was the designated driver, and could take my time driving them home. Only in the morning did I realize what I got myself into, cleaning out the backseat. Three g-strings, four bras, and a diaphragm... And lipstick stains all over my blouse. Love. It's What Makes a Subaru!

That's an extremely difficult piece to play, by the way.

It's difficult because the triplets are hard to keep in time, especially when they're back to back throughout the entire piece.

Just random music shit.

39 In an interview on a morning show this morning George Lucas started talking about how much he hates capitalism and that the star wars movies were all about how evil capitalism is. Funny, George is the greatest capitalist whore of the modern age when it comes to licensing out the use of star wars for products and commercials.

I hate those yappy dogs that can jump higher than a cat.

True story -- Me and my buddy left a bar on a street corner at the bottom of a long hill. A beagle was hauling ass around the corner because a Chihuahua was chasing him. The Chihuahua noticed my buddy's butt, paused long enough to jump up and bite his ass and then resumed his Beagle chase.

Chihuahuas are worse than pit bulls.

Hey, how is Moochelle's healthy school meal initiative working out?

LOS ANGELES (CBS) Â— The revamped school lunches at Los Angeles Unified School District have won awards, commending them for improving the menu at the second largest school district in the nation. Too bad the students donÂ’t agree.

It seems that most of the *new improved* food is hitting the dumpster, and a black market has sprung up in place. Aahhh, free enterprise in action.
