This wonderfully loopy commercial shows a wrecking crew using a giant pink stuffed bunny rabbit to demolish a building in a downtown urban area, while people look on in disbelief and disapproval. Well, I must say I completely approve of such measures! If you’re going to tear down someone’s building, the least you could do is make it seem warm and fuzzy, and try to get it to feel soothing and such, and obviously that’s what the bunny is for. So people who lose their homes to foreclosure can at least get a literal cute attack when their building is torn down by a cutesy stuffed animal. (Or isn't this what's going on here?) And hey: it actually works! (Well, sort of.) At one point, the bunny head makes a big hole in a brick wall, so the wrecking ball must be inside the bunny’s head!
Maybe municipal governments could use this as a way to rid their cities of unwanted plushie enthusiasts: simply lure them away with a cute plushie bunny, and when they’ve been lured into the alley for some perverted stuffed animal fun, they could bowl them over with the wrecking ball plushie! (Or is that what they’re into these days?) And is this commercial part of a propaganda campaign to smear plushie enthusiasts, making it look like big cute fuzzy stuffed animals are evicting people and destroying their homes? And perhaps it’s all part of a concerted plot to make everyone suspicious of plushies so the government can get away with oppressing them?
Or am I looking at this all backwards, and the truth is that all demolition workers are into plushie parties to such an extent that they’re even starting to dress their equipment up in plushie suits? And if they’re doing it, then how long will it be before other union jobs start dressing up in plushie suits too? Can you imagine being busted by cops wearing plushies? How about being rescued by a firefighter wearing one? Or how about elementary school teachers? (Hey: maybe the kids would pay attention for a change if their teachers were dressed-up as stuffed animals! Call the Department of Education: have we got an idea for them!)
But what I don’t understand is why this ad says it’s not okay to use a plushie suit to demolish a building, but that it’s better to have your taxes done by people wearing plushie suits? What makes plushie suits better for tax stuff? Or are they wearing them at H & R Block so that if they ever get in trouble for tax fraud, they can all remain completely anonymous in their plushie suits, and then it will be impossible to prosecute anyone? That’s a great idea, if that’s what they’re doing! And that makes it even better yet for demolition or construction work: if a worker accidentally drops something and injures someone, you’ll never be able to identify them, and the company could just say it wasn’t one of their employees, but just another plushie enthusiast who came to say “hello”, and so they aren’t liable! See? It’s perfect!
Here’s the silly spot:
