(infinity)—6:25 AM
I don't know if you remember the opening of a film called Two Brothers. From the cover of the DVD box, it's apparently about a pair of tiger cubs. I don't know who the tiger cubs are, or who does their hilarious voices, but I'm reasonably sure this movie actually exists and I'm sure it must be a laugh riot.
Anyway, I saw an ad on TV the other day that it's out on DVD. ("Oh, thank God. Gator Face is finally out on Laserdisc!") And there's a mail-in rebate or something so you can get a couple of bucks back.
Here's my favorite part: at the very end of the ad, it says "And, save five dollars more if you take home Thunderbirds at the same time!" Then a little graphic comes up at the bottom of the screen, reading: "Offer valid until 2/18/05, or while supplies last." First of all, their words, not mine. "Take home Thunderbirds" – sounds a lot like "take Thunderbirds off our hands." And, of course, TiVo and I shared a hearty giggle over "while supplies last." Ah, yes! Hurry! Race to Wal-Mart now because Thunderbirds will be jumping off the shelves. Seriously, the planet is going to need to be attacked by mighty robots that eat Thunderbirds DVDs for fuel before there will be any problem with supplies lasting.

Great. There goes my "Mighty Thunderbird-DVD-Eatin' Robots" script idea. Thanks a LOT, Jameson.
