If Nationwide isn't on your side, apparently you're dead...

Following Super Bowl Sunday, here are the top two things people are talking about: 

1) "What in the hell was Pete Carroll thinking when he called for that pass on 2nd down from the 1-yard-line when Marshawn Lynch (AKA The Beast) is in the backfield?"

2) "What the (bleep) was up with that Nationwide commercial?"

Yes, as most people now know, when they hear "Nationwide" from this point forward, they'll think of dead kids, or more specifically, dead kids coming back to life to talk about their death. I know, it's Jesus all over again...

In case you're one of the four people in this country that has yet to see the before-mentioned commercial, here it is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKUy-tfrIHY

In light of this horrific ad, memes have been circulating the Internet like herpes circulates backstage at rock concerts, and not wanting to be left out, I thought I'd have a little fun with the commercial as well. 

When I first saw this commercial, for whatever reason, I was reminded of a scene from the film The Sixth Sense, and I think if there's ever a remake of it, one memorable scene may go a little something like this: 

Little boy: "I see dead people..."

Response: "Did that damn Nationwide commercial come on again? Jesus... Why do you insist on watching that freaky commercial? I DVR things for you so you can fast-forward through these scary commercials. Here, I'll do it for you. Now go back and watch the rest of The Exorcist, relax, and get some sleep. Goodnight."

Also, in a new poll that was released, it was discovered these were the three things parents fear the most: 

3) Accidents

2) Bullying

1) The new Nationwide commercial

It was also said that the following back-and-forth ensued following the New England Patriots' 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Press: "So how depressed are you right now?"

Russell Wilson: "Extremely depressed, especially after watching that Nationwide commercial."

Lastly, somewhere in the country, this conversation took place between a mother and her child: 

Child: "Ahh! I heard that scary song in my dream again!" 

Mother: "Rob Zombie? Marilyn Manson?"

Child: "No! Nationwide is on my side!"
