K-Mart Shorts Commercial

I absolutely loved that commercial! In case you haven't seen it; it depicts a father talking to his pre-teen daughter and her friend. He has lost enough weight to fit into his shorts from the 80's.

If you lived during the 80's you know which shorts I mean; Super short shorts...

He looks to be a tall man; who chooses to wear super short green shorts with dark socks.

He bends over to get ice cream and its all over... too funny.

Well, I had to share with K-mart how they made my day; heck they made my month so far! I was truly entertained. You know they get lots of emails when something goes wrong..they needed to know that, according to me, they got that commercial right!

I need new shorts and I know where I am looking...

The letter is below... if you get a chance (and you've seen the commercial in question), I suggest you send accolades as well. They aren't like Cameron Diaz, they respond to their fans...
