This phrase is from Sesame Street, a children's show created in 1969 that teaches literacy, counting, simple logic, and social skills through a kaleidoscopic mix of puppetry, animation and short films. In a radical departure for the time, it was designed to deliberately mimic the fast pace and style of TV advertising in order to 'sell' learning to kids: An Aesop-friendly story featuring the recurring characters on the Street would be intercut with rapid-fire 'commercials' for that day's 'sponsors' ("Sesame Street has been brought to you today by the letters A and S, and the number 7...").
"Today's episode of Sesame Street has been brought to you by the letters A and S, and the number 7."
In an homage to Sesame Street, which is sponsored every day by two letters and a number, one episode of The Simpsons was sponsored by one symbol and one number that looks like a letter: “Tonight’s Simpsons episode was brought to you by the symbol umlaut, and the number e. Not the letter e, but the number, whose exponential function is the derivative of itself.”

Used when an inappropriate action that someone causes in a group/party/work setting. Whereas anyone associated with that person is a Dick also.
A group of people are hanging out waiting for some beers to come. Two people come in and one is holding the beers. He then goes to put them in the cooler and drops all them and they go crashing down to the ground.

A war brought home is a war-by any major definition- started overseas that has been controlled there, has brought forth attacks on home soil. These attacks are not always physical. They usualy destroy the morale, and indifferance the opposition has felt.
The war brought home is often the beggining of the end for that war in terms of the attacked country.

Plugging a product shamelessly in conversation, as if the company was paying you every time you did so. From the movie Idiocracy, where a character is paid every time he inserts "Brought to you by Carl's Jr." into a conversation.
Steve: Man my new Apple Iphone is AWESOME!
Bill: No way, my new Microsoft Windows phone is better than sex!!!
Normal person (without cult-like loyalty): Brought to you by Carl's Jr.
