Creepy commercials:

Like many football fans I get to watch more than my share of commercials. The following are two of my least favorite.

I find the plastic-faced Burger King-king creepy. It reminds me of Clockwork Orange. I keep expecting the king to pull out a dagger and start stabbing people.

The Sprint commercial about the unfeeling doctor and the football player with a shattered knee is also icky. I don't find the humor in a severe injury.
