Anyone see that STUPID Red Robin Commercial?
It's a nationwide TV Commercial for the Red Robin Restaurant chain. The guy is at "Buckingham Palace" and he's trying to get the Coldstream Guard to move or say something. But the actor wearing the Palace Guard uniform is carrying an M1 Garand! And it's not even a cherry Garand (which would be the case for ANY honor guard or parade version for U.S. units).
So the sins are (a) an American iconic rifle for a British Regiment
and (b) using a beater Garand instead of a pristine one.
Ugh!
