Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come out with a commercial for his campaign (and the Likud party) and… well, it’s pretty gosh-darn brilliant no matter who you are!  A couple expects a babysitter and instead they get a “Bibi-sitter”. Check it out:

I understand that there is some play-on-words here that will probably go unnoticed by most English-only speakers.  F’rinstance, when they mention “carpets” that’s also Israeli terminology for “territories”.

I’ve a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for Mr. Netanyahu.  A tremendous amount.  But I never thought that he’d be making a commercial like this.  Seeing him let his hair down with such a clever ad seems perfect somehow.
