Some people would think that’s MORE reason to be mad at him. 😉 Me, I’m the equal-opportunity type: I don’t care how much he weighs or used to weigh. If he annoys me, he’s on the list.

Commercials like those are the ones that make me exceedingly happy that I rarely watch TV.

As for Jared, he can live, but offscreen. Carrot Top will die though.
