The commercials make it seem EXCEPTIONALLY CRASS.

The Christie Brinkley type in the sports car being killed by the big rig seems pretty mean.

So does Clark JR (or Rusty, or whoever Helms is) getting his arm smashed in the car door.

This seem like they'd work better as cartoon violence jokes.

(And for the record I *DO* remember that a dog was dragged to death AND a old woman was transported on the roof - those definitely we're tasteless but seemed rooted in a more "real" reality.)
