I Love a Good Explosion

Anyone seen the new Dodge Nitro commercials? They're pretty sweet, if you like seeing things get blown the hell up.

The one commercial I remember best is two guys in a parking lot, the one with an old sedan with a dead battery and the other with his Dodge Nitro. The guy in the sedan says "Try giving it some gas!" and as soon as the Nitro-driver hits the pedal, the man's sedan skyrockets into the air. It might not be as funny as Sprint's Crime Deterrent commercial, but it got a good "heh" out of me.

It also made me wonder how much explosive damage is allowed on commercials, as well as reminding me of the Toyota Tundra (or Tacoma, not sure which) commercial where the truck is nearly invulnerable. Let's blow some more stuff up and see if anyone is smart—and by smart, I mean smart in that (s)he is then dumb enough to actually do it— enough to rig their Nitro to blow up someone's car.
