I don’t often watch reality shows because I know they’re manipulated to enhance the drama and rarely do I see true talent. But this 2010 season trailer for Finland´s Next Top Model looks fun and puts tired old Tyra’s tyrannical mess of a show to shame.

Some of you might remember the funny French “Boy Toy” Hyundai commercial from several years back that played with marital infidelity. Well, a new Sony PSP commercial has emerged that is playing with a little mens restroom innuendo that immediately makes me think of old Larry Craig and had me cracking up. Yes, I know Craig was playing stall footsie with his pants around his ankles but surely he did a few peek-overs as well.
