Many find that old guy in the Six Flags ads to be "creepy"

Including me. (The first time I saw him I thought he was Uncle Junior from "The Sopranos.") Many teens, according to this story, are likely to find him "nerdy and goofy" and families with kids are wont to regard him as "weird"and "creepy." ALSO: I heard a radio discussion about this character and some callers insisted it's a woman playing him. Anyone know? (Wall Street Journal)
