...video that's gotten the most attention is the one for Cullman Liquidation, featuring a brutally honest owner and a memorable tagline: "Come get yourself a mobile home. Or don't. I don't care."

If you consider though that right now, there is a Tom Cruise movie, two Ben Affleck movies, an Adam Sandler film, and a movie about Facebook starring Justin Timberlake all being...
