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?

Date: 2010-09-23 11:29 pm (UTC)(I ate a lunchable once. I was in high school when they came out and smart enough to see that while neat little circles of ham and cheese the same size as the crackers were kind of cool, I could achieve the same damned thing with a cookie cutter and use home-cooked ham as well, thus improving the flavor. Or I could just live with square cheese that hangs over the cracker. ;)
I am continually amazed at how many people just cave to their kids and buy junk for them to eat. My mother occasionally allowed me to pick out ONE candy bar. Occasionally. And I might also be allowed to get an orange Crush, but more often not. Other food was NOT my choice and my opinion was NOT solicited, at least until I got into high school. Then I was allowed to input suggestions such as which meat, which cheese, what kind of bread to buy--but buying readymade crap instead of meat, cheese, and bread was still not on the table as an option.
