Kinko's "The Taxes Chainsaw Massacre" Ad

I'm guessing we've all seen Rand Paul's funny and silly tax code-threatening political ad where he destroys the tax code using fire, a wood chipper and a chain saw. Well, I could see this ad of his being put to use as a fun ad for a place like Kinko's, like so:

We see a Rand Paul stand-in, and he's shredding and pulverizing and chainsawing through thousands of pages of tax code, and the announcer says: "Whether you're photocopying 70,000 pages of tax code over and over again just to burn and shred and chainsaw it, or you're printing and photocopying a 10-page report, Kinko's is the place to get it done!" And halfway through the announcer's spiel, we see the video cut to a small business owner (or a student) photocopying and putting the finishing touches on their report.

Then they could add, as a tag: "We'll even shred or recycle the paper for you, if you'd like."

(BTW: That Rand Paul political ad where he chainsaws the tax code should edit out the other methods of destroying the tax code, leaving only the chainsaw method, and be retitled: "The Taxes Chainsaw Massacre". Maybe Rand Paul could wear a tax form over his face while he chainsaws all the tax code to be like a tax code version of Leatherface.)
