EXTRA:
REJECT ACCEPTED,
other commercial notes for immediate release

ITEM: Don Hertzfeldt, of Rejected fame, as well as other Sick & Twisted film festival entries, has been accepted by Pop Tarts. His latest entry features a kid's PT stolen & deposited in pouch by an itinerant kangaroo. As this reviewer has not seen the entire release, a script of his first acceptance follows.

SCENE I: STICK KID in living room with table and toaster. GENIE emerges from toaster.

GENIE: (in either an Italian or Jamaican accent) I am the genie of Poptartica! Gimme-a your two wishes, chop-chop!
KID: Iiii... want a pet singing lizard.
GENIE snaps fingers; PET SINGING LIZARD appears wearing bowtie, with microphone and stand.
PET SINGING LIZARD: Shoobity doop da wow, call me.
EXIT PET SINGING LIZARD, screen left.
KID: I want the biggest box of PopTarts in the world!

CUT to stupid voiced over shot of breaking open PopTart.

ITEM: AutoZone out of the zone
AutoZone has changed its popular Get in the Zone campaign. Whereas the old song was sung throughout the commercial, the new one is totally gay. Call or write your local franchise to beg them not to let the music die. Lyrics reprinted without permission.
Get in the zone, AutoZone
When you want it,
and you need it,
a-just ask us,
and we'll get it...
GUITAR SOLO
VOICEOVER: For the parts and advice, to keep
your car running right-
Auto-Zone!
fade

ITEM: Finding Nemo brand cereal spot creepily attentive to detail
   Never slow to capitalize against a competing fish cartoon, Disney has released, via Kellogg's, New Finding Nemo Cereal. The ad features a young shark at breakfast poring, over a bowl of the cereal, over fishes' contradictory roles as friends and food. Deep in thought, instead of squinting like a human, a nictitating membrane slides partway up his eyeball.

EXTRA: LASERSTRAIGHT QUADROON CHICK SMOKING HOT, more page 3.
* Here is, of course, where in the rejected original version, a pool of raspberry filling- or would it be blood? seeped out from under the box.
