In the Coke …
In the Coke commercial, if you look close, what’s happening is that Walter the cat tries to grab the Coke when Demi walks by but she ignores him, so out of revenge he trips the selfish human which almost leads to her demise. Good god that is a big can. I do remember they were thicker back in the day.
is it me or does George Bush look like Conan O Brien?
Krusty The Clown …
Krusty The Clown did the same thing in that one episode.
Krusty: “I’LL SPIT IN THE NEXT BURGER IF I HAVE TO!”
Homer: “I like them odds.” *munches on said Krusty Burger*
The Simpsons did it …
The Simpsons did it. McDonald’s free food for USA victory => Krusty Burger’s free food for USA victory.

So strange because Coke’s cans have said “12 oz” forever. Either the actual cans were bigger, or today’s soda drinker is getting SCREWED!! LOL

Ronald McDonald …
Ronald McDonald must have been over that Olympic contest.
Bush’s speech here …
Bush’s speech here reminds me of alien-Clinton’s speech on the Simpsons. “Forwards, not backwards! Upwards, not forwards! And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!”
