Mr. T for President!

What kid growing up in the 80's didn't like Rocky movies, Indiana Jones, the A-Team, and Star Wars? Our kids are already in love with Star Wars, but imagine my delight when Stockton asked me if I had ever heard of "Mr. T". "Heck yeah", I said. We immediately got on YouTube and checked out some vintage Mr. T material.

During our YouTube research session, we found some fairly recent Mr. T work. The kids must have watched this particular segment about a dozen times. It's an Aussie TV commercial that delivers a nice combination of violence, political incorrectness and machismo that is all but extinct in mainstream entertainment today ("So You Think You Can Dance?" give me a break).

Yahoo! T.V. is back. That should be a Super Bowl spot.

Excellent!! This country could use a Mr. T to get to the bottom of our problems. He may be a blast from the past, but I don't think he's exactally in the "good old boys club"!
