Join the navy!
This commercial has been around for a while, and I might have written about it before but I can't remember. Never mind. It is worth seeing again. It makes me giggle every time I see it.
What were they THINKING?

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

That's a serious commercial? More and more I'm seeing how uptight we Americans really are.
Its that little gay wiggle in the middle that gets me.
I also love that its not seamanship but a seaman ship - ship full of seamen says it all, I think.
If you had not specifically mentioned that it was a Navy recruitment advertisement, I would have hazarded a shot in the dark that it was something to promote some sailor uniform.
Or an entertainment company recruitment advertisement?
