Default I can watch 80's commercials forever...

So I've got this weird phase going on where I watch 80's commercials on youtube. I remember a lot of them. Isn't that weird?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li8KBYFK5PY

The toyota commercial is my favorite at the 8 minute mark. I totally loved that commercial when I was 9 years old.

I've always had this crazy idea that I should start a retro-commercial channel. Play nothing but old commercials 24/7. A lot of these companies are still around and I'm sure they'd give me their old tapes. I'm pretty sure people would watch, you think?

If it works, I'll buy you all a bike.
