Honey, I Shrunk The Coug

Jaded Insider needs no more reasons to love Rick Moranis; on the stone tablet on which we keep inscribed a list of our favorite people, he falls somewhere around "Weird Al" Yankovic, Charles Grodin and Cal Ripken.

But we've got one anyway -- Moranis' official web site now features a parody of John Mellencamp's ubiquitous single/car ad/"Like A Rock" wannabe "Our Country," entitled "America, My Truck" and credited to Rick Cougar Moranis. This comes on the heels of Moranis' Grammy-nominated country & western album "The Agoraphobic Cowboy," lovingly recalled here.

A visit to Moranis' page is worth it just for the cover image, which is not something "Ghostbusters" accountant/hapless party host Lewis Tully would ever be caught dead doing. But check out Moranis' dead-on Coug impression, as he growls and groans through lines like "America can't spin her wheels and sometimes she gets stuck/I love America ... America's my truck." He must have sucked down like three packs of Winstons that day to get that kind of grit, leaving him still far short of Mellencamp's daily pack intake of 38.
