– – Be brave, and enter by commercial into the dream world of Progressive’s iconic “Flo,” an already otherworldly lady. We are shown in the commercial the racing car bed that she sleeps in, and are witness to her dreams, appearing in a cartoon-like “thought bubble” appearing above her head. Flo, perhaps not surprisingly, counts insurance discounts rather than sheep in her sleep state.
Then the parade of discounts is interrupted, and we are shown a dream deviation of a chipmunk family reunion! They are as cute as the dickens…but alas! A dastardly squirrel steals the chipmunk’s nuts! Despair not, however, for in Flo’s dream, the squirrel is apprehended, and winds up in “Squirrel Jail.” Even in her dream state, Flo exults “Justice!,” and we are shown a victorious chipmunk holding aloft a liberated nut! Wonder what a therapist would make of this one…
But don’t ‘ya just love happy endings, even though reunions tend to be nutty?

– – The furry movement is sweeping Mexico…well, perhaps not sweeping, and I don’t mean cleaning the streets, but at least gaining followers. While certainly not every fan is a fursuiter, one Mexican notes that “When I have the suit on I feel like I can do things I otherwise wouldn’t. I can be friendlier, more affectionate. I think people think its more acceptable like this than if I didn’t have the costume on.” 
– – Imagine your favorite plush childhood companion coming to life and maturing with you into adulthood, and you have the premise for Ted, a live action/CG movie written, directed, and produced by Seth MacFarlane of Family Guy fame. Ted the bear is voiced by MacFarlane himself, and sounds much like his Peter Griffin character would sound like if reincarnated as a teddy bear. Ted, however, is both outrageous and foul-mouthed; this is not a movie for the kiddies! Ted is rated “R” for language and content.
