VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.
Looks like everyone is making a parody of LeBron James’ “The Decision,”the hour-long live ESPN press conference/announcement LeBron scheduled to tell the world of his decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat.
John Mayer’s video attempt poking fun of LeBron was not funny. Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, on the other hand, did a fantastic job making a parody of the same for this year’s ESPY Awards.
What made Carell and Rudd’s version even funnier, is that the restaurant chain, Chili’s, joined in for the fun and reacted to the fake slighting it received by Carell.
Chili’s posted a disgruntled open letter on Chili’s Facebook page, very much like the open letter that Dan Gilbert, the Cavalier’s majority owner, posted on the Cavalier’s site in response to “The Decision.” The letter posted by Gilbert cost his team a $100,000 fine by the NBA. Chili’s on the other hand is receiving lots of publicity for theirs.

Chili’s President, Wyman T. Roberts writes in his letter: “Steve Carell’s shameful display of selfishness and betrayal has shifted our ‘motivation’ to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels,” Roberts continued. “His heartless and callous actions will only fuel our constant search for freshness and flavor. This shocking act of disloyalty from our homegrown ‘funny man’ sends the exact opposite flavor of what we would want our children to taste. And ‘where’ we would want them to go out and eat.”
