Tony,

I wrote a blog post about this as well. The first time I saw the popsicle version, I thought it was some kind of SNL fake commercial or something. Funny. The above comment by Chris is hilarious too, ha, “The Cocaine Dealers of America”, so true.

I think if anything, the commercials are just drawing out the facts, and helping people to become more aware, so in the end, they kinda shot themselves in the foot. Great post.

I stood up took the remote from my wife and changed the channel. I also turned to my kids and said, “That’s a lie. It is processed in a machine, and it is put in processed fake foods. That is not natural.” Looks like I’ll be watching even less television if they allow even more lies.

HA! I laughed so hard at those videos that protein shake came out my nose. Seriously, they seem like bloopers.

I can’t wait for The Cocaine Dealers of America* to come out with an ad campaign saying that cocaine isn’t that bad since comes from the leaves of the coca plant and isn’t really any worse than heroin.

I see how it is, you move out west and then you get labeled as an “ex-client.” I’m a CP Client for life whether you like it or not! You just need to open up a facility out here. Man, I just got the CP tattoo last night too, what a waste.

As for HFCS, those commercials are pretty comical once I let the anger subside. I found the Popsicle commercial to make me laugh the most. Of all the packaged nonsense they chose the Popsicle, coincidence? I think not.

I laughed out loud when I first saw the commercials. It will be interesting to see how this propaganda is “consumed”.
LOVE, love, love your blog. You are freakin’ high-larious!!

This reminds me of the whole “the ADA recommends corn oil because it’s not as bad as hydrogenated oils” debacle.
