To make it really subversive and in character, they should have made it look like he was xeroxing his butt. Without actually showing the butt of course.

Peter,

Indeed, more commercials like the one with "Stuart get in here." I love it when the old hag says "that kid is SICK." FYI, when he's at the xerox machine, he's actually making a copy of his face, and he is then using the copies for invitations to his party that he invites Mr. P to.

I can also never get enough of the mutual fund commercials where the kid is being told he's out of the will, the future father counting on the lottery and the dad telling the kid "I wouldn't let THAT slip out in an interview!" That whole series is a classic. I also like the Monster.com commercial, "I wanna claw my way up to middle management."

"Stuart" is making a copy of himself in that commercial, as I used to do the same thing on an old Xerox in the early 1970's while working as a guard. Cool copies. The boss never called me in to help him buy Kmart though! <g> Yogi
