That commercial should be the inspiration for getting Shatner into Trek XII Tiberius Kirk vs The TOS crew!

I think we can safely assume that anytime we see an 'evil' version of a character and that evil version has a goatee, it's because of the MU. Remember 'evil' Cartman? Yeah... this is why Trek rocks.

I love the way they always have the bad matte line in the double Cartman shots.

Honestly, I'm surprised the question was even asked.
