HANDS OFF MY PEANUTS!!

So, Carsmart has some odd commercials here in Utah. Recently, they're doing this whole "find an antiquated law that is stupid and juxtapose that with how smart it is to buy from us" shctick. Well, the one playing currently reviews the law in Lee County prohibiting the sale of peanuts after sundown on Wednesday. So, at the end of the ad it has a recap: "Remember, selling peanuts after dark is illegal . . ." The only problem is that Mr. Announcer-Mann has forgotten the importance of enunciating the T in "peanuts." The effect sounds more like "peanus." This now sounds like something only boys have - and not a circus treat (unless, of coarse, you are attending Britney Spears' Circus tour -- but that's a WHOLE other subject). So, as I listen to the commercial, I wonder . . . when is a good time to be selling "peanus?"

Great, thanks to you, now every time I eat a peanut M&M I'm going to think of Britney Spears.
