I'm eating dinner, and this Midas commercial comes on....

<i>Old woman in the Midas shop asking about mufflers. Sales dude says they have a lifetime warrenty. The old woman then drops her clothes off her back (naked from waste up) and says "What can you do with these?"</i>

I really just don't understand what's wrong with marketing directors. That commercial is horrible. 4:45 in the afternoon!! Children watch TV at that time.

Are my standards too high? Or does everything just suck all form of ass?

Hahaha - I actually find that fucking funny.

There is a new ad over here at the moment. Cadburys is an NZ chocolate company - the ad is done to the tune of the beach boys 'wouldn't it be nice'

It is a cartoon, it shows a guy surfing an ocean of chocolate -

"wouldn't it be nice if the world was candbury's
you could surf inside a chocolate tube"

And the surfer is waving his ass suggestively .....

Maybe I just have a dirty mind.

Hey!! No fair!!! We don't those kind of commercials down here in Bible thumping land!!

That's just wrong. They are denying me a terrible commercial just for the sake of someone elses idea of decency.

*Pauses and starts to write to congressman* Now, what is that guy's name again?

Cadburys is Australian, muffy. I know, I watched the same documentary about Cadburys about 12 different times in High Schoo.

Really? Hmm, I guess I always thought it was NZ owned - we live not too far away from a cadbury's factory - when you get close enough all you can smell is sickly burning sugar - it's quite gross really. Them being australian would explain why their chocolate tastes so crappy. ;)

Do you get the chocolate tube ass add?

There was a cookie factory near Prince Of Wales Children's Hospital. So I used to kinda enjoy going to hospital.

Just to enlighten you on the origins of Cadbury's - it is an English company, established in the 1830's, witrh a royal patent to this day.

Excellent chocolates!
