JWT Puerto Rico slapped together four new spots for Stride featuring an emotionally troubled green gumwad who's been left to ponder his mortality under a high school desk. He wallows in self-pity, harangues a pair of cheerleaders and a janitor, and considers suicide before happily getting re-chewed by some doofus high school kid. A (literally) gross misplacement of priorities. Who chews gum they left under a desk, anyway? These two deserve each other. Three more spots after the jump.
