Fat guys with spiky hair

Has anybody else seen that cellphone commercial featuring the fat guy with spiky hair singing along to his "Dukes of Hazzard" ringtone? I hate that freaking commercial. Fat guys with spiky hair and "Dukes of Hazzard" ringtones should not be celebrated. They represent everything that is stupid, tasteless and annoying about America.

Am I overreacting to this?

The thing I hate most about the commercial is the look of self-satisfaction on the fat guy with spiky hair's face as he sings off-key to Waylon Jennings. What a turd that guy is.

Replace "Dukes of Hazzard" with "Don't Stop Believin'", "spiky hair" with "thinning, sloppy, out-of-style hair", "ringtones" with "car stereo blasting while speeding through the Atlanta freeways because the driver is late getting to the airport", and "fat guy" with "fat guy" and that could have been a commercial that I could relate to. Or maybe I represent stupid, tasteless and annoying America. Hmmmm.

I found the Nokia commercials here by the way

I can't complain but sometimes I still do

: Name: Steve Hyden; Location: Appleton, Wisconsin

My name is Steve and I'm a newspaper reporter and writer living in northeast Wisconsin, which is just below the armpit created by the bulk of the state and the peninsula. I don't live in the actual armpit, which is Green Bay, which is a place where fat people sit on their porches and watch traffic go by when the Packers aren't in season. I live in Appleton, a place where slightly less fat people do slightly more interesting things, like watch NASCAR, which is traffic with better camera work. I like living here 79 percent of the time. I fancy myself a deep thinker, an iconoclast, a man who can enjoy both high and low culture. Think Chuck Klosterman with a dose of Jack Nicholson from "Five Easy Pieces." However, I suspect I am not nearly as cool as I think I am. I may in fact be a dork. For example, look at how I described myself a few sentences earlier. What can I say? I'm the guy who started listening to the Clash when he was 13 not because he was reacting against the repressive Republican regime he had lived under most of his life, but because John Cusack wore a Clash T-shirt in "Say Anything..."
