Head on...
Obviosly the commercial works. The use of repitition really gets the phrase and the name of the product stuck i consumers head... Even though it may be the most anoying commercial ever it still works because in a commercial you want consumers to remember the name of your product,and this is certaintly acomplished.

Response to the poem "Shooting Rats at the Bibb County Dump
The poem is very creative and uses many literary elements. In the line "Shot in the head, they jump only once, lie still like dead beer cans."(Mr. Bottoms) the way they lie dead is compared to beer cans using simile. I believe the poem is discussing a group of drunken rednecks who enjoy shooting rats. I think the irony is that the rats think they are being shot by the lights. The plot is that a group of people get together and get drunk. Then they go to the dump and shoot at rats. I have no clue what the point of this poem is.
