Answer==================================

>Dear Mr. Taylor,
>
>Thanks for taking the time to write with your concerns.
>
>Although this ad is one of a series of outlandish vacation scenarios, none
>of which is meant to be taken seriously (another features a giant walnut),
>we understand your concern.  I can assure you we have no interest in
>destroying the geysers of Yellowstone.
>
>As a result, we currently are looking at options to either edit the
>commercial or include a written disclaimer explaining that the scene is
>depicted for humor only and should absolutely not be imitated.
>
>Thanks again for your note.
>
>Sincerely,
