I have a confession to make. I think it's funny when people get hit in the head. Not just funny but hilarious. Show me a commercial, television show or movie where someone gets smacked in the noggin and I'm in hysterics. For instance, I like the commercial a few years back where the old lady throws a phone book (I forget which brand) at a guy's head because he's trying to steal her cab. I like the commercial (again I forget for what product) where there are people in an office going to a big meeting and only two guys have all the information needed to close the deal. On the way to the meeting, one runs head-on into an open filing cabinet and gets knocked out. The other slips as he goes to sit down, hits his head on the conference table and it's nap time for the poor bastard.

But the king of all smacked in the head commercials so far is the Windex one currently running where the two birds trick the guy into smacking into his extremely clean glass patio doors. It doesn't matter how many times I see it, I laugh every time. As a matter of fact, a friend of mine did that in real life at a Starbucks. He even left his face print in the glass. Sure, I asked him if he was okay but only after I was able to regain my composure.

I don't know why I find blunt head trauma funny. Maybe it's some weird Keystone Kops-slip-on-the-banana-peel syndrome. Perhaps it harkens to my love of all things Looney Tunes. I have no idea. I feel guilty that I never stop to consider the possible brain damage that may result from the poor bastard running into his glass patio doors. Then again, it's not my fault Windex is streak free, is it? Though I have to admit I'm starting to worry about the pleasure I take in other people's cranial misfortune. Is it sick? Am I even more twisted than I thought? Maybe even a tad bit psycho? Does it make me a bad person?  Sadly, all of the above are probably true.

Oh, well, fuck it. It's still funny….
