For some reason, I like the weird commercials Quaker Oats runs these days where kids might be playing soccer, or people might be at an office, or whatever when lo and behold, there's a life size statue of the Quaker Oats man standing there with a plate of granola bars. I like these ads because they're weird plus the music in the background is sort of weird too. The singing is hilarious. Sounds like the singers drank a bit too much before the recording or something.

for those that may be confused by HR's photo;
 
Miles ('just call me 'Rocky'') Corey...laying down on the job, again...the ONLY person EVER (in the United States of A.) executed by a 'cold press'; only job he could get after that was acting as 'The Quaker Oats Guy'
