I've seen it play a few times- couldn't believe it the first time I saw it.  It's almost laughably sick.

it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

That is truly tacky and runs very cheap to the most shallow of mentalities. That is one very sick and empty idea. Unbelievable.

This is considered one of the most annoying adverts ever in the UK.

Well I live very close to the states so I get all the same tacky commercials. Especially one's like the example that PMS Elle showed us.
I don't watch TV but my parents do and hearing that commercial at 2:00AM! Why do they play so late at night?

Is it a very old advertisement or is it recent?

I get the impression this ad is not a joke - wow. It's hilarious!

I have to watch it again :laugh:

I wanted to clarify some things, so did a quick googs

Quote
I don't know if anyone out there caught the television commercial for these monstrosities - collectible "currency" themed around 9/11 - but here it is for you to watch and become deeply ashamed. I'm not sure what my favorite part is, but the following moments are in the running:

    * The part where the narrator brags about how this commemorative trinket is so large that it "dwarfs" all other legal tender. YEAH! SUCK IT, DOLLAR BILLZ! FUCK YR PRE-9/11 MINDSET!
    * The part where they explain that one side has a "standard twenty dollar denomination," but...BUT!!!! On the other side, it has the numbers NINE and ELEVEN, and you will never guess what! NINE PLUS ELEVEN EQUALS TWENTY.
    * "This is the first time ever the two numbers have been used to add up to the twenty dollar face value!" THE FIRST TIME EVER. And here, we've been at war with al Qaeda, when what they really wanted to do was help us experience these bold mathematical innovations.
    * Remember that Times Square recruiting station that got bombed by a bicyclist on March 6, of this year? Well, WHERE'S MY GODDAMNED NINE DOLLAR BILL?
    * "The frosted Twin Towers stand out against a mirror-like background, much as they did in the gleaming sunlight of that fateful morning." Yes, we were all marvelling at the mirror-like background of the New York City skyline when terrorists struck and destroyed our innocence. And hey! Guess what? SEVEN YEARS OF BAD LUCK FOLLOWED.
    * The Freedom Tower is a "silvery tribute to all who were lost." A silvery tribute!
    * They were going to sell this shit for $39, until they learned to add 9 and 11.
    * These come with a certificate of authenticity attesting to...and I quote: its non-circulating Liberian legal tender currency. There's just something about the concepts of "authenticity" and "Liberian legal tender" that seems mutually exclusive.
    * Strict limit of 5 per customer, unless you are Rudy Giuliani, and plan to use them to jack off.
    * NEVER FORGET.

Specifically I was wondering, "They can't actually mean Liberian currency can they?" I think they do :o

    Just keep in mind, 20 dollar liberian (LRD) exchanges to almost, but not quite 32 cents U.S. thats amazing. for only 20 bucks you can buy nearly 32 cents. Dont forget the shipping and handling of course.

Liberian legal tender?  Well, I guess the flags are kind of similar; it would be easy to confuse the two countries.  Pity that those 20 Liberian dollars are only worth 0.35 US dollars, but there's probably a USD or two of silver in it.
