The daily digest of Twin Cities culture | Secrets of the City

With all the carnage being reported about cars these days, I'd like to call your attention to the best ad on TV AND the sorriest car company of late (without good reason). The ad is done by Kraft for Velveeta cheese. I can't seem to track it down, but it shows a Mom in a supermarket cutting stuff in half with a saw. This ad is good. I know good when I see it.

There are people who would rather die than give up chocolate, and there are those who can’t imagine a day without television. For me, a life without cheese is simply not worth living. How can you get through the day without a dense bit of manchego, a smear of Humboldt Fog, or a downy shaving of Grana Padano? Why on earth would you have people over for dinner, if not as an excuse to stand around a platter of new cheeses and say, “Wow, try that one”?
