I count 14 out of 15 Murrican.

Sorry the topic not serious enough for you.

Lowest common denominator does not always work.

My interest stems from a direct marketing and statistics backgound.

It does of course matter who compiles the list, but VM not Murican.

I'm surprised it wasn't 15 out of 15. The heading "America's funniest signs" might have given a clue. :wink:

But I still prefer Murican direct marketing.

Check out this one. They showed it before the X-Files movie at the theater yesterday:

I saw a show dedicated to UK and European commercials which were funny and a bit racier than what we are used to here. They were pretty fucking funny.

But I'll always be down for American beer and ESPN commercials.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

I think we are biologically wired to love it when someone get t-boned out of the blue.
