An excited female Pop Tart shows up, exclaiming her excitement at seeing the band\u2019s tour bus. Roadiesaur asks if she\u2019d like to meet the band, and upon affirmation, invites her into the bus. Pop Tart scampers into the bus that leads her precariously through the top of the roof. Roadiesaur then pushes a switch, which causes Pop Tart to sink back into the bus, whose walls then collapse revealing that it\u2019s not really a bus, but a toaster \u2013 of doom! Upon successful execution of his diabolical plan, Roadiesaur cockily boasts the money line: \u201c<em>Groupies are easy.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Okay, so it\u2019s not so much that this commercial is necessarily stupid, but there is one thing that I\u2019d like to point out: isn\u2019t the plot of this whole scenario basically murder? Not just any murder, but <strong><em>first degree murder<\/em><\/strong>?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Seriously, if what defines a first degree murder is the premeditation for taking someone\u2019s life, how is Roadiesaur\u2019s plot to lure in Pop Tarts unknowingly into toasters where they\u2019ll be baked to death not a prime example of it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Everything about it is basically first degree murder; Roadiesaur plans on using the allure of rock stars to bait unsuspecting Pop Tarts into showing up. He then invites them into the bus, where the jig is up, when he pushes the switch, sinking them into their unexpected demise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">And then, he <em>eats<\/em> them!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">The funny thing is that it\u2019s apparently okay to portray first degree murder as long as it\u2019s cartoons, and the characters are all things that couldn\u2019t be any closer to human beings. But re-portraying this exact plot but with human characters, and whomever wrote the plot would be sought out for psychological help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dIjvxSuWID4?controls=0&amp;start=15\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis: A smooth, Barry White-talking dinosaur in a leather jacket stands outside of a tour bus, appearing to be something like a roadie for a band called Wild Cherry or similar.
