"Shock the Tylenol Beaver"

Let me switch into Seinfeld mode here...So what's the deal with those Tylenol commercials?
They must be getting sued a lot lately because their current ad campaign consists of "doctors" and "the person who puts the warning labels on the packages" telling us to be careful with our Tylenol usage. "You know what!? You stupid morons, if you're gonna eat these things like candy then we'd rather you just not even buy our product, because one less lawsuit is equal to ten thousands bottles of Tylenol being sold. So go ahead, switch brands, we don't want you anymore!"
What's that? What's the deal with the beaver picture? I do my best artwork during school. Well, my most bizzare work. I think it's a manifestation of some deep seeded emotion, trying to break through the suffocation of pointless learning and the boredom that results. When I doodle during class time, I don't really remember it, I drift off into a deep trance and when I come to, a beautiful piece of art is created. The above, which I drew during my three hour environment earth class last semester is called "Le Beavar de Evel le Flood". There’s a deep meaning in there somewhere, I just can’t find it right now. Unfortunate, because I’m usually pretty good at that.
Read these lyrics, they apply to everything, they inspire me, so let the beautiful words of Mr. Gabriel touch you. If you're truly lucky then you've seen the video, which is double the inspiration...


Shock the monkey to life

Shock the monkey to life

Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out' the trees
Now I'm on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey

Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take any more
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey

Wheels keep turning
Something's burning
Don't like it but I guess I'm learning

Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey

Too much at stake
Ground beneath me shake
And the news is breaking

Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life
