Oh man, I just saw that yesterday. They played it right before Juno began, which I thought was hilarious. Nothing got that matinee crowd of middle-aged women and senior citizens quite as excited as an unintentionally hilarious National Guard commercial set to a Three Doors Down song, I'm sure.

I went to see the movie with my cousin, who is a 1st. Lieutenant in the Army. He couldn't stop laughing about how the National Guard was filled with a bunch of out-of-shape regular people with no training, discipline, or equipment. He really laughed hard when the guardsmen in the commercial cleared a room by opening the door and bursting in, which as you may imagine isn't standard operating procedure. As I said at the time, I can't believe my tax dollars are used for this.
