MAN (on his cell phone):
You sleepin' with her? (Pause) She fertile? (Pause) Oh, she fertile. You better be careful, or you're gonna end up like me: gettin' anonymous phone calls talkin' 'bout "where's my child support?" Haha, nah but I love my baby. She cute, she look like one of those ... what are them dinosaurs called? They got the three horns 'n shit? Like from The Land Before Time.

No Ambulance Till You Clean Out That Mouth, Missy!
Here's the story.
Side: What ever happened to spelling "through" in its entirety? Notice in the video when the transcript spells the word "T-H-R-U".

Cigarettes Star in Health Insurance Ad
On a commercial for Cinergy Health Insurance, the voice-over declares:
"For the price of a pack of cigarettes per day, you can have health insurance."
A full pack of cigarettes appears, open and rotating above the "Cinergy Health Insurance" logo.
Blah blah blah happens, then the voice-over has another declaration:
"Remember, for the cost of an ice cream sundae per day, you could have health insurance."
A hot fudge sundae with a cherry on top of a mountain of whipped cream takes the place of the pack of cigarettes atop the company's logo.
More blah blah blah, then:
"Health insurance for the price of a pack of cigarettes!"
And the animated pack of cigarettes reappears.
You know, I would think that the director of this commercial would shoot something that gives the audience a hankering for insurance rather than for tobacco and sugar. If the commercial were my project, I might show a child in a doctor's office -- maybe smiling as the doctor shakes his hand at the end of a check-up that his insured parents were able to provide. I might show an older couple lightheartedly enjoying their golden years because they don't have a raincloud of unpaid medical bills overhead.
Call it artistic differences, but I don't think that appealing to the addictions that worsen one's health is the best move for a health insurance ad.

A Crime of Passion
This is why I'd make a terrible police officer or judge. If I found out someone had saved 37 cats from being destroyed (despite the odd choice of breaking in first and paying adoption/veterinary costs later), I'd say something like: "Carry on, fine citizen." I'd warn him that "animal cops" would make sure he found the cats good homes (and that he wasn't a ravenous collector who takes in animals without the resources to care for them), and give him a pat on the back.
Awkward Family Photo
Maybe this will make you feel less ashamed when Mom hauls out the photo album in front of your new boyfriend/girlfriend.
