After 12 solid hours in a coma-like sleep, Wilson has been miraculously cured of consumption. It's a good thing, too, as we discuss Bill Gates' Apple ad counterattack and Michael Moore's insatiable appetite for junk food and justice, all while dodging giant cheeseburger-eating mantises!

Dan the Mantern here. At a caller's suggestion, the guys led the show off with a discussion of the new Microsoft ad featuring Bill Gates, Jerry Seinfeld and a strip mall. Apparently the 'soft spent $250 million on this ad, $249 million of which went to Seinfeld for one day of shooting. If you haven't seen it yet, it's like a Seinfeld episode condensed into two minutes minus Kramer. We yearn for the days of the Rolling Stones promoting Windows 95. In other news, Michael Moore plans to release a film online, available for free, that aims to motivate young people to vote. And the future looks bright, it seems, as America's youth rock the vote to give Disaster Movie a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes. Oh yeah, and three Canadians pass out from garbage smell inhalation.
