Whoops-a-doodle!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices shit like this...

Molyneaux and I were watching How I Met Your Mother and, for some odd reason we were watching the commercials, too. (He has a Tivo, so usually the breaks are watched in fast forward. Thankfully that was not the case on this night, though.)

In the middle of the break, this commercial with a darling little ginger girl and Howie Long comes on. Nothing spectacular; just another spot featuring a cute little moppet acting all grown-up and bossy with a big, bad tough guy. But then it happened. See if you can spot it...



Now, I was willing to let this slide. I even suppressed a giggle when the moment originally danced across my frazzled little brain. But when Molyneaux sat up, grabbed the remote and sputtered, "Wait a minute!", I knew it wasn't just me being immature.

It was also him.

Did you not catch it? It happens around :22 in the video above, and it looks like this:



So, besides the fact that this is hilarious, I realized something else here.

There are a lot of people who had a chance to notice that it looks like that little girl is pointing directly at Howie Long's Junk (TM) before it reached the air. I'd like to know how many people saw that before it ran in CBS prime time. Because I find it hard to believe that, out of what must have been at least a hundred people, NOT ONE of those chumps thinks similarly to me or Molyneaux?

I mean... okay. I know that he and I are on our own level of man-child inanity, but... Really? Like, it's not somebody's exclusive job to think like that on projects like this? So, along the way, NOBODY thought to say, "Uhh. Sir? Can't we re-frame that shot so that it doesn't look like the cute little girl is pointing directly at the hulking football hero's genitals?"

And aside from that, she's also unfortunately saying, "That's a big-girl car," as she is pointing (to the car). But as you can tell from my audible snicker during the video, she might as well have stopped at the word 'big'.

(Plus... "Howie Long". Heh.)

Anyways... after we played it back, I started giggling. And then, when Molyneaux froze it on the above frame, I started cackling. I immediately ran upstairs to grab my camera and his FLIP cam. But when I took the following picture of the freeze frame with my flash still on, the positioning of the flash's reflection just sent me rolling, literally, on the floor, laughing my ass off.
