If you think penguin batting practice is in bad taste, check out this banned commercial for the N-Gage phone/gaming device.

Here’s the schedule for the only episode I could find: Dashboard Confessional does REM’s Automatic For The People. Pretty hard to mess up one of the best albums around if you can actually play.
