Why is Dan Fernandez crawling around on a concrete floor with a blonde wig while White Snake plays in the background? That's a great question and I wish I had a logical answer but I don't so I will just give you the truth. It has to do with Silverlight, Expression and couple's therapy. I hope you enjoy and good luck.

Dan,
I'd like to formally take this opportunity to personally thank you for my new Windows background wallpaper. It has already brought me hours of enjoyment.

Absolutely, brilliant, funny, inventive, creative, unusual, smart, hilarious, made-my-day, smashing, laugh-out-loud, and the couples therapy was wicked.... You summed up that relationship perfectly! I wonder how long this took to shoot, how many takes were required, and how much was edited out.

I'll never look at Dan the same way again, awesome Britney impression.

Oh... eff... that was funny!
