Quixtar Ad Gets Torn a New One By Kids who Know Better

This Quixtar ad was so loaded with camp that it was only a matter of time before it got spoofed. Here’s a parody calling Quixtar a pimp that whores dreams. It even includes a message for future generations: “Our god is money, and he treats us very well. You will join our land someday, and then you will understand the frozen smiles.”

We’re glad this frozen smile thing is a common problem. We actually thought people just didn’t really like us, but this hope-filled manifesto reminds us that’s not possible. – Contributed by Angela Natividad
