I consider television commercials for local businesses an art form all their own.
In Washington, D.C., the local car dealer chain Eastern Motors has pretty much owned the genre, with a long-running series featuring players from the Washington Redskins lip-syncing the firm's theme song (At Eastern Motors / Your job's your credit, credit) and generally looking stupid. The spots feature all the hallmarks of a superior local commercial: dumb catch song, famous-for-the-local-area celebrities, senseless narratives and mildly offensive. Here's an example:
However, we have a new contender in Washington for worst local commercial. In fact, these guys might just have produced the worst local commercial EVER, anywhere.
For those of you not hip with the kids, the owners of the store attempted to set their diddy to the tune of "Back That Azz Up," by Juvenile. The spot obviously takes incomprehensible and offensive to whole new levels, but I think filming the lead actors/owners shirtless really iced the cake.

Good god, that is miserable.
Let me also say how illuminating your 'complete profile' is as compared to the incomplete one posted on the main page. There, one might learn a host of additional information about Alex Wayne. For instance, did you know he's male?
@anonymous: I didn't realize Blogger offered so many fields to enter in one's profile!
Inspired by your mockery (?), I have added some information.
Only affectionate mockery. I just found it amusing. Besides, you cannot be too bothered by the comments of someone who lacks the courage to put their name to their words.
