this commercial reinforces why I don't like clowns....they are just creepy.  :(
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Why does a monopoly run ads anyway?

They have been pushing their one price shipping boxes - regardless of weight....for a couple of years. They will also come to you to pick them up.

They are great boxes for shipping to military overseas. Load them down with anything and still pay the stated price for that size box, regardless of where it's going. They also get delivered fairly quickly. I sent some to Iraq, 2 Christmases ago, that got to the soldiers in less than 7 days. I was impressed. I can't get mail from Utah in less than 7 days!

Also the boxes and mailing labels are free from the post office and you can place an order on line and your local postperson will deliver them to your door.

Clowns are evil, and that thing in the ad would probably kill you in your bed.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I just about fell out of my seat at the end when I first saw that commercial.
