doesn't quite workmcny

I can't quite put my finger on what strikes me as funny about this ad—maybe it's that it sounds a little Sling Blade–ish?—but the basic problem of it is that it doesn't really make sense, and the basic wonderfulness in it is that you can easily turn it into kind of a fun gamecny. You just sort of grumble your way into the initalismcny any time you've got a word that ends with an Mcny. Like, uh...

"Mr. Obama's comments on North Korea were delivered at the end of a historic speech before more than 20,000 people here that had been planned far in advance to lay out Mr. Obama's plans to stop the spread of nuclear armscny."

Or, you know:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end themcny.

In a pinch, in tough times, you can do this with words ending with the letter N. too. Opens lots of doors, hours and hours of funcny.
