John Cleese used to have a decent career

Cleese Poor Iron Mountain. It seems the data-security firm lost bank-account and Social Security info for “virtually all Louisiana college applicants and their parents over the past nine years,” according to the AP. Cue John Cleese, who portrays “Dr. Harold Trainwreck” and operates a “Friendly Advice Machine” in Iron Mountain’s ad campaign. “How can I get our executives in trouble?” he asks in one execution. Alas, Iron Mountain has answered its own question. Be sure to check out Cleese’s interpretative dance in the “Warning” spot—a title that potential Iron Mountain clients may wish to take to heart. I’m not sure what all the fuss is about, especially since most graduates “forget” to actually pay back their student loans after graduation.

Damn. Give the guy a labcoat and a check and he'll probably do birthday parties too.
