I don’t know if Alan Cumming is being funny here (really expensive joke). Anyway the commercial is funny; intentionally or not.
Sphere: Related ContentOstensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.

In the words of Bill and Ted: “69, dude!”
