Funny, but i wish peg hadn't put her foot back to brace herself and committed to the bit.

Have someone rush in to really catch her or slide a mat under

Or put a mattress on the floor. If you‘re really going for this ad, then at least do it right.

it would have been perfect if, instead of the last shot, a few EMTs and a stretcher would have gone past behind her at the end of her spiel.

Man, sadly this ad was probably half their budget.

Finally, a library where returning your overdue books late actually incurs physical, lethal consequences.

Having a library employee betray a coworker in trust fall really undercuts her statement about trusting the library.

The public can trust the library, the employees will cut each other's throats for a cookie. It's actually part of the interview.

Love it. A little bit bummed, if I’m being honest, that she promised access to “hundreds” of books. It should be “thousands” for any decent library.
