I thought he looked like Nick Cage too. He also looks too stoned or drunk to even notice the TV is there or give a crap what's on it.

That's also some piss poor ad copy. There is nothing appealing about this ad, IMO.

I had to read it a couple of times to decide if it was a parody or not. Apparently, this "humorous" approach was their campaign:

The barbershop one is the only one I could read, but it was kind of funny. If you read the ads in a snarky tone, as I think was intended, they make more sense and are kind of awesome. I didn't pick up on it at first. It's been a long day.

I love that idea! I would have been all over that.
