I simply can’t wait for the Slim Shady Slim-Fast weight loss commercials. You know, the ones where he could put on a pair of old pants, now six sizes too big, hold the waistband out in front of him and clamor about how he can now throw away his “fat jeans.” It could be like the new Jared from Subway commercials.
