Has anyone seen this commercial? I've seen it twice now. The first time hubby and I were watching tv together and saw it......... both of us said it was in VERY BAD taste and just downright pathetic. The person playing Lincoln jerks off his shirt and starts dancing around. The guy looks like a skinhead

Absolutely ridiculous. It's a channel changer for us. I'll come back to the same channel 1 minute later after this pathetic ad is done playing.

The guy playing Abe looks like he is skin and bones and it freaks me out so I turn the channel until it is over!

Actually the commercial is quite clever. Abraham Lincoln was a known wrestler in his community, in fact the best one in the city he grew up in (See book A. Lincoln) What the commercial does is take this fact and applies what modern WWF/WWE wrestling. While this is not accurate it does teach a history lesson about our greatest President.
