Is AL-TV returning or did you find a nice interview? Just tell the folks here.

I've seen this on TV twice in the last two days. It was on Fox last night during the Big Ten Championship Game and again during today's Browns-Colts game. It was cool seeing it on TV, though they cut out the "Batteries" part, which IMO is the best part of the commercial.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

I finally saw this playing at an AMC movie theater yesterday before Nightcrawler. I have mostly been going to Arclight and Landmark theaters which don't play commercials before the movies, but the AMC 4 in Santa Monica is closer. #firstworldproblems Luckily they're building a new Arclight a few blocks from my house. Anyway it was pretty cool to see the commercial on the big screen! Nightcrawler was also awesome. You all should check it out!

I saw this on TV last night as well. Can't say exactly what I was watching, just that the Husband left the TV on with some sort of sporting event. My reaction was pretty much: "look, Weird Al is famous now!!!" :P

I've been hearing from a lot of friends that they played this ad at different sporadic showings for The Interview... including the one I went to!

Man, that sucks. I actually still go to Radio Shack every so often. It would be a shame to see it go away completely.
