Perhaps a handful of other people have already seen this, but for those who haven't, be careful. It's about an advertisement I just saw on yahoo. Approach it cautiously, maybe tossing a pebble at it to see if it's still alive... It's on my email page, and actually just on a separate tab, so I'm flipping back to it periodically to make sure it's still stupid. Yeah... there it is, and YES it is. Well, stupid is a little harsh. I'll just say it could use some revision, some sharpening up... pruning, if you will. It advertises a website called degrees.info, with the above caption reading "How do I become a..." and the ad is filled with cartoons; happy cartoon people, all of whom have apparently gotten degrees to aid in their career choices to "become a" cartoon network specialist, cartoon bounty hunter, and cartoon... "more". Wait, is that right? Yeah, it is. I think More is supposed to have me believe that people (cartoon OR carbon based, I hope) have more degree options than the couple dozen or so that are listed, but there's a woman's animated face above it, just like there are animated faces above every other profession, making me seriously think I need to expand my knowledge in the field of "more". She meets a handsome young gentleman at a friend's cocktail party and I can only imagine how the conversation would go.
"Ha ha, oh my darling, that is hilarious! I never knew that about Hitler's barber! So, what do you do for a living?"
"More. I specialize in the more-itude of people's behavior when they are exposed to things like more cats, more printer paper, more botanists, more fro-yo samples, and more belt sanders. What about you? What do you do?"
"Oh, me? I'm a police!"
Yes, that's right. The ad doesn't list the flash animated fellow as a police man, but instead as an entire mass of police. Everyone else is listed as a single unit of his or her profession (project manager, counselor, patient advocate, etc...), but not this guy. He is the police. Officer, Lieutenant, Chief, I guess he's got it all covered. So that's it. Maybe there isn't anything wrong with the ad at all. Perhaps, just perhaps, Mr. Police and Ms. More will end up together, and raise hordes of children who will grow up to be more police. Degrees.info... Make your future. Get career in jobs

Dude...you did not just say the word "fro-yo." That's pretty funny, especially since there is something really stepford-esque about it. In any case, I love it. You have an insanely innovative mond.
