Didn’t [Outpost.com](http://Outpost.com) do something like that a few years ago? I remember it caused a bit of a stink among the humor-impaired.

I was in marching band playing mellophone when that commercial debuted. I favorite part is that one of the guys is marching with a French horn. Who does that anymore?
