I spent all day trying to find this video!
I would love to tell you what it's about, but you absolutely have to experience it firsthand. It's short!
After seeing that on the news I was so stunned that I just sat there for a full minute before turning to Ana (poor Ana!) and treating her to a 20 minute rant on just how bad it was. Notably, once it was explained to her, Ana forgot that she was disagreeing with everything I said on general principles and agreed - that's the suckiest ad ever.
The rant actually topped my Lunchables rant (poor Eva!) in terms of sheer epic anger, though not in scale - the Lunchables was three separate rants, dragging Evangeline back to the scene every time, as different aspects of their villainy became apparent to me. (And all she'd done was ask if I'd buy her one as a treat! Short answer? NO.)

Failacious - is it a word?
On a scale of 1 to 10, ranging from "incredibly insulting" to "I hope the aliens don't nuke us for sending this crap out into space", how bad was that ad?

Is it more insulting because the rap was just so bad, or because it trivializes a real and serious issue?

As to whether something less tacky would work better, I dunno. In this case, based on the neighborhood (this is where I work) I suspect it needed to be in Spanish.
