Electric Light Orchestra

Remember that one house in your hometown that always went overboard for Christmas with an absurdly elaborate light display, and as a kid you d drive by and gaze upon it with astonishment, then as an adult you d still be impressed but would also kind of wonder if there s something wrong with the people who live there and worry about how depressed they get when Christmas ends and they have to take the lights down and wait 11 more excruciating months for their one annual shining moment? Turns out, that house existed in every town in America. Here s a collection of 100 Ridiculous Christmas Light Displays (somewhere around 100, I don t know, we re not statisticians) all cut together in a convenient 2-minute video to simultaneously impress and make you wonder who these people are: VH1 TV Shows | Music Videos | Celebrity Photos | News & Gossip (Video is the handywork of our trusty Video Editor / Probable Trans-Siberian Orchestra Electric Violinist Pete Schultz)

Thanks to reader thednafish for dropping this enlightening - and very YouTubular - clip from a 1980 s commercial from the National Coffee Association. The advertisement, set to the sounds of some super peppy 80 s music, encourages the viewer to become a Coffee Achiever - along with the likes of David Bowie, the Cincinnati Bengals, Kurt Vonnnegut, the Electric Light Orchestra, Jane Curtain and Cicely Tyson - by enjoying the calming yet energizing effects of coffee as part of the New American Society. Good thing I just finished slamming my second triple grande non-fat sugar-free vanilla latte of the day!
