10. "Puppy!!!"

No, I haven't quite gone nuts.

As I'm sitting here reading the thread and watching TV, one of the Vonage commercials came on with the Stepford Neighbors.

For the few who haven't seen it - the couple looks like JWs or Mormons, and are pitching bundling of phone/cable/internet etc. They come over to welcome their new neighbors.

The woman is holding up a cute puppy but "he's part of the bundle."

"We ALL bundle here!"

For some reason, it reminded me of the "Bandwagon Effect" religion uses so effectively - "we all worship here, WTF is wrong with you?" Which reminded me of the graphic in the post.

Jeez, that was convoluted, even for me...
