Save the Planet

I'm all good with peeing in the shower, but that commercial is a little weird is it not. Whats up with the one where the one person has a knife. Yikes.

Wow Amanda! You sure have an eye for detail. I had to go back and look at it a second time. The knife is an obvious spoof on the classic Alfred Hitchcock movie "Psycho" which came out in 1960 and is a little before your time. I think the whole thing is pretty funny and if it saves the planet then what the heck :)
