Well, not really weird, but very cute and just right for this festivus season:

This really is cute.

And now, of course, I want some Ben and Jerry’s. Who sez advertising’s not effective?

I’m kinda sorry you posted it here; it’ll get so much attention that we can’t use it for Weird Earl.

But thanks.
