ok this is probably just a U.S. thing. Mr. Six is the 70+ year old guy in the SIx Flags commercial that comes out of retro bus and does an awesome dance number to get hardworking people to leave what they're doing and go to Six Flags amusement park. It's really a young person made to look like an old person. In the few months this ad has been out he's become the 2nd most recognizable ad icon in the U.S. Some people have to leave the room when the commercial comes on because it disturbs them so much. I actually like the stupid thing and the clip from the song "We like to party" by the Venga Boys hasn't left my head since I've seen it. Welcome to my world

Anyone have anything to say about this?

the first most recognizable according to the article is a burger king ad in which a worker and a boss both order the same meal.

sad.

but interesting because just last night I was thinking to myself, "dear lord, this guy really is disturbing" whilst listening to that horrible, carnival-like trance loop. What WEEEEERE those ad execs thinking?

He really is nightmarish looking up close... like his face is melting or something. What is WITH that?

what's wrong with happy upbeat old people? I admit - at first it was kinda disturbing but after watching it for the f0179427985372th time it gets quite comforting. ;)

i've made it a point to not view all things the ad-man would have us peruse.....
only to become hypnotized by it.

my comfort lies in knowing jesus is with us in our war against all those
who would stand against us.
