This was the funniest commercial I've sen all night. There wasn't quite as long of a buildup as the squirrel commercial earlier in the night, but it was equal to if not funnier.

It started out innocently enough. The driver did a great job avoiding the innocent little deer chilling haphazardly in the street.

Then it got interesting. I couldn't quite tell what I was looking at, then imagine my surprise when Alice Cooper was in crouching in the middle of the road holding a snake. Okay, that was a little random, but I guess that's pretty funny...what could possibly be next?

It's that time of the year again. Car collectors from around the world have descended on Scottsdale, Arizona, for the annual Barrett-Jackson auction. A mind numbing array of hot-rods, resto-mods, classics, and other automotive oddities have been selected for the catalog and everything must go.

If you have any interest at all in cars, this is great TV. An endless parade of amazing cars will roll across the auction block all weekend, including Alice Cooper's 1939 Lincoln Zephyr Custom (pictured). The Speed channel is in the middle of fourty hours of coverage of the auction with eight hours coming today, ten tomorrow, and seven more on Sunday.

It's the kind of programming that can suck all the time right out of your day. You pause to see what that Yenko Camaro will go for. But after that is a Shelby Mustang. And then there is a convertible GTO. Before you know it, it's getting dark. The whole day is shot and you didn't get anything done, but at least you now know how much the option to upgrade to the big block motor on a 1968 Corvette was, which is something.
