Kids Will Love It—If They Don’t See This Commercial
I've actually given these to my kids and grandkids, but after watching the advertisement from the 80's, I'm not sure I will buy them again. These Kinder Eggs are made of a chocolate hollow egg with another capsule and the prize inside.The toys are not as cool anymore either -- Any German translations? (besides "I'm creepy and I want you to eat this?")

The Relaxed Wife
After about 11 minutes of surreal domestic sitcom stuff, the true reason for this video appears: prescription drugs to soothe you. Take some "Atarax" today!

We Are Not Alone—courtesy of Budweiser
When the SETI people get the message, perhaps this is way it will happen. WASSUP!Again, supposedly from Pixar, but I'm not the one who labelled it originally. Be safe this weekend -- alien dogs may be watching.
