THE SPOT

"Lodge" (:30) shows a couple planning a family vacation. While dad is researching hotels on Expedia.com, he comes across a hunting lodge resort. He then imagines a stormy night during which his young sons are frightened to the point of screaming their heads off at the sight of the lodge's decorum: mounted heads of bear and bison. Dad realizes that a lodge may not be the best option for the vacation, as he opts for something else.

Spot broke Feb. 24.
