Nerd point: if the article headline is an Underpants Gnomes reference, it's a stretch. Profit is Phase III, so Breaking bad would be the stand-in for the "???" that is Phase II, assuming Parks and Rec is Phase I (the "Collect Underpants" phase). So there, or whatever…I'm bored.

Coming soon to a commercial break near you…
Domino's has hired this same ad agency. They were also the ones who came up with Man Law, Wake Up With the King, and Coke Sues Coke Zero. I need TiVo now more than ever…
