I flipped on the t.v. yesterday afternoon while soaking my injury in a 5 gallon bucket. (Which is the ultimate decorative home accecessory.) In the span of an hour I saw the most disturbing commercial ever. And I saw it three times in that time frame! Crab came home and I told him about it, but he didn't believe me. Of course it didn't play while he was sitting there.
The commercial goes like this:
A guy walks into a barn holding a glass milk bottle. A another guy is sitting with his feet propped on a stool. He is eating sour Skittles. Hooked to his chest are the operating ends of a milking machine. Guy #1 berates the guy getting "milked". If he quit eating sour Skittles, maybe the milk wouldn't taste sour.
Ew, ew, ew! On so many levels!
1. Human milk in a bottle for adult humans??
2. Man milk??
3. I know where that guy would rather put those sucking vacuum tubes and I can't get that image out of my mind.
What in hell is wrong with the people who make these ads? Are they that stupid about farming? Human anatomy? About what humans consume? If they wanted a shock value, they got it. If they wanted me to buy Skittles, they missed by a country mile.

I saw half of this commercial and was all "huh?" then I saw what it was for. Those crazy skittles people. But your last thought? Ewww! Thanks for that...
You weren't disturbed at all until I put the last thought in your head? You must be too sweet to be believed. Or I am too cynical...
It wasn't disturbing because they seem to have all those other crazy commercials. The leprechaun hanging there catching the skittles drip, etc. It didn't seem much weirder to me than those.
