VH1 is one of the weirder channels on the boob-tube, and the new VH1 'Anti-Rock Star' commercial definitely confirms it. The ad features an Edward Norton-in-'Fight-Club' voiceover discussing the world’s population of rock stars to anti-rock stars. Then, one day, the two opposites meet each other and some weird adult imitation of naked babies urinating on each other happens.
This isn’t a joke. The commercial just gets really weird, then abruptly ends. See the VH1 Anti-Rock Star commercial for yourself above.
