David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. Debunking commercial myths #1
You can’t watch a sporting event on television without being subjected, in virtually every commercial break, to the spot where the guy’s driving along in his SUV and a bunch of animals jump in through the sunroof and start singing along to “Rock Me Gently,” a ditty that no doubt scored Andy Kim scads of groupies when he’d sing it on tour but Jesus does it make my ears bleed. (Here’s how bad this commercial is: Even though I’ve seen it far too many times, I don’t really pay that much attention to commercials, so not until this last airing did I finally notice that it’s for Jeep. For some reason, I always thought it was for Toyota.)
Anyway, my point: I don’t think it’s a very realistic premise. It seems unlikely that animals living in the wild would have had a chance to have heard the song enough times to have memorized its lyrics.

Actually, this seems to me a much likelier scenario than those "Viva Viagra" guys having women to go home to an inflict themselves upon.
