Commercials

Nissan has an ad for a 4x4 trucks, wherein a UFO hovers over a bleak landscape, using a tractor beam to pick up various heavy metallic objects. Naturally, the Nissan 4x4 proves to be too much for the UFO to handle — but as the truck is fighting back against the tractor beam, a little caption on the bottom of the screen reads, Do not attempt. Professional driver on closed course.

So it's good to know that one shouldn't try to escape from a UFO abduction in a Nissan 4x4.

There's also a commercial — I didn't catch the name of the advertiser — which shows a close-up of an eye, with the pupil dilating every time a clicking is heard (eventually revealing a woman looking at a computer screen as she views various diamond jewelry). The voice-over says something like "There are many things which cause the human eye to dilate, but none as much as love."

Apparently, whoever wrote the commercial never went to an eye exam and had those drops put in, because love has never made my pupils dilate all the way out to the edge of the iris like those drops did.
