X-men: First Class Army recruitment ad???
I've mentioned a couple of times on this site that the amount of promotion for X-men: First Class has very nearly got me to the point that I wish the film would just go away. This morning before work I saw a commercial for a friggin' insurance agency featuring clips from the film. Not. A. Joke. I've already spent 25 years of my life laying down my hard earned cash for these mutants silly comic books, but taking out a few more grand on my life insurance is a bridge I'm not willing to cross. Even though my girlfriend might be pleased at that idea. ;-)
But this is ridiculous. Not only are the merry mutants plastered everywhere it seems, but even the US military is using the power of Professor Xavier's mind to try and lure you into serving. To those who might be considering: You won't get to do anything cool like shoot lasers out of your butt or sprout wings out of your armpits. It's all a clever ruse.
