Because I’m an avid lover of fried fast food fish, and because I have a preternatural ability to remember random advertising jingles from every decade of my existence, I now have one of those stuck in my head. And because it’s there as a direct result of this article- touting a thing I’d certainly like but cannot…

In the late 70's/early 80's I got John Travolta’d constantly because I had a Vinnie Barbarino haircut. Then it was Rick Sutcliffe. After I gained some weight and got a little more paunch in the face, I was Steven King.

Hopefully he sells more shoes than he had dance partners last NYE... 

Seconded; one of the aught's most under-valued films.
