Default Not funny!

Very NOT funny. This ad shows such an appalling lack of gun safety, I had a hard time watching it. Am I the only one who got the heeby jeebies watching this ad?

I found it very disturbing, but that's the point isn't it? Without the message, it would just be dark and kind of sickening, but it drives home it's point well.

Wrong, VERY funny (at end). The story line has nothing to do with gun safety.

Big Heebie Jeebies at first, subsiding, spike to appall, then humor. Well acted too.

Not sure if it's a positive message for the sponser though.

His odds of success before the end were 5/6*2/3*1/2*1/3*1/6= .0154 or only a little more than 1.5% or he is a 65:1 dog. (or is it 64:1 ?)
