Considering the fact that we've already blogged this, I'm relatively certain the whole point of your post is to bait Tobin with your "making out with some dude who really likes giant crazy eyes" line. We all know he wants it. Let's just wait and see what he has to say...

I just wanted to share the commercial. It is amazing and stands for everything I believe in. Your accusations cut me to the core, my friend, to my very core. Plus I included the phrase "phallic spaceships" which means my post is better.
Oh I appreciated the commercial. I just really want to make this love connection happen.
If it's not going to happen over delicious parking lot tacos, I don't know if it ever will.
I think d patrick far overestimates my social skills. That aside, two questions remain:
1) Do I go listen to bands I don't know play an album I've never heard before just because a cute girl is there?
and, more importantly,
2) Dare I befriend Ashley on Facebook? Trying hard to avoid stalker vibes here.
Just realized that the spaceship looks like a Simon game. In mating season. And I think Dorothy accidentally stepped on one in the cover of El Dorado, dramatically emphasizing the need to protect spaceship mating habitats and thus ELO's environmentalist message.
ELO, on the Out of the Blue tour, was my 2nd ever big concert experience (Black Sabbath, with Ozzy barely hanging on, on the Technical Ecstasy tour was my first). At the Memphis Midsouth Coliseum, ELO unveiled their new album amidst the controversy that they were using *gasp* BACKING TRACKS ON TAPE in the live show. This was HUGE news at the time and whatever passed for the blogosphere of the day was abuzz with the news. All I really remember is that the band played inside a spaceship resembling the image on the album cover. as the set started, the ship was all you could see on the stage and, as the show began, the spaceship split and the top half started to rise, revealing the band inside playing. it was a mindfuck of profound proportions to a 13 year old, i remember that much. i was not so lucky as to get to experience the Parliament spaceship a year earlier. No way I would have been allowed to go to that show but that's another story altogether...
