There’s a saying that clothes make the man. Well this spot shows that the right suit can make a man feel like a superhero as we first see him rescuing cats and dogs out of a burning pet store. He then pushes aside a showboat martial artist/would-be attacker on the sidewalk, and then heads for the park where a bat-wielding, blindfolded lad is flailing away at a pinata–but instead is repeatedly striking our suit-clad protagonist, who explains that his suit makes him feel invincible.
“But instead of some billowy tunic, I’m sporting these killer threads,” he affirms.
Next he’s wearing the youngster’s blindfold and hopping on a pogo stick into oncoming street vehicular traffic. Indeed K&G provides invincible apparel at defiantly low prices.

CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."

"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
