I'm a proud, if unwilling, Costco Kumite champion in multiple geographies. Inevitably, the day after Thanksgiving my wife says, "Should we go to Costco?" And I say, "On Black Friday?!" And she says, "Oh, right." And then we go anyway. It's a miracle we're still married.

That FEMA ad spits in the eyes of sanity.

The Black Friday visit to any shopping center/megastore is a sight. I openly (unironically feels like the wrong word) endorse it.

The FEMA ad's some kind of psychic attack. Someone should notify the Department of Defense.

"physical ads that rely on you typing in a url later live in Narnia."

Along with radio ads that feed your driver mind a phone number six times in a row in rapid succession. They could learn a thing or two from 1-877-KARS4KIDS - though hold up. Isn't that one too many numbers? Is 1-877-KARS4KIDS a SCAM???

Radio ads can be hilarious on that front. It’s virtually guaranteed that I’m flying down the interstate. I’m not going to freehand a number longer than my State ID.

Most of them are for personal injury lawyers anyway. That's probably why they try to distract you while driving, so when you're ready to sue the highway commission for your wrongful head trauma, you'll know who to call. 👍🏼
