Sucking CO2
Good job planting the seeds of an idea and I'm probably not going out on a limb when I hope it takes root and branches out, rather than having a bark worse than its bite.

Sometimes you can't yell.
I loved it; as delmoi pointed out, it's meant as an in-store promotion. The target audience of the video aren't the players Guitar Hero, nor even the Nintendo DS, but rather the parents or friends of the aforementioned, along with anyone seeking to complete their collection of tie-in merchandise.

Want a Kaffiyeh with that Donut?
So let's see..."Michelle Malkin", check..."Rachel Ray", check..."Sharon Stone", check..."Classic ParisParamus-style derail in a MetaFilter thread", check..."Election Year"...uh-huh. That's pretty much it - it all checks out.

Home for Sale: 100 Dollars, 500 Words
Compared to deeds, words are meaningless. If he's interested, I can make him a better offer with the title rights to some 1"² lots of land. Each lot has my personal assurance of containing certain types of mineral commodities, as well as the possibility of bearing lucrative natural gas reserves.
