Painted

Saw this today [although it's been around for months] and quite enjoyed it as a comic counterpoint to the adticipation building around the giant play-doh bunnies.
Imitation isn't the sincerest form of flattery, but maybe pastiche is. If you create a commercial that people are willing to spend time messing with, that's probably a good thing in and of itself but it also means that the ad has taken root in the popular consciousness - parody only works if people know what you're extracting the Michael from.
I'm looking forward to seeing what people do with the new one.
