What's Your Excuse: Chinchilli Day

Goofy TV commercial where a man creates a fake holiday, Chinchilli Day, that celebrates the day that chincilla revolted and his people fought for freedom. Really, he just wants an excuse to stay an extra day in Vegas. Kind of silly.



At least it is better than the notion of what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. I swear that the incident of people being pulled over and police dogs called in looking for drugs doubled after that commerical aired.

Of course, it could be the economy. The police are more likely to pull people over when they want revenue, and it is pretty hard to get a speeding ticket in Northern Nevada if you are sober. For instance, outside Reno on the Utah side, the first really busy "speed trap" where they mostly get Utah drivers is on a straight stretch that is a mile and a half long. You have to be drunk or on your cell phone to miss the police cars sitting in the distance. Every other day I see them arresting someone at that pull off.
