Literally the only problem with it is that it might give a distracted viewer the impression that she could order a mini-horse from Amazon and receive it two days later, shipped free. Apparently, that is not the case. Thanks, Obama.
Clearly, though, that confusion is not the fault of the ad's star: the mini-horse. He really makes you feel his heartbreak as the cliquish standard-sized horses reject his friendly overtures, and his relief at becoming the house pet he was always destined to be. An actor with this much talent deserves to break out of the commercial ghetto and have a legitimate career. Here are our suggestions for the guest roles that could help Mini-Horse climb the ladder of his destined field -- and because his legs are so very short, it's help he really needs.
