Brutally Honest Mobile Home Liquidation Commercial

Here's a commercial from I Love Local Commercials that takes honestly as its direction. It's for a small company that sells used mobile homes and they make no bones about the situation. Very effective and funny. "Buy from me... or don't. I don't care."
