Go buy a Snickers bar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bUxi_Eo6fU)

Haha, that's awesome.  Great tagline, too.  Almost as good as "You bet your sweet Aspercreme" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQrv6-viEUk), which was my favorite tagline of all time until it got pulled.  So sad.

Haha, that's great!  I like the direction the Snickers commercials have been taking lately, especially the "Feast!" guys.

You know, we're actually working towards advertisements like those in stuff like Idiocracy, but it doesn't feel like a bad thing yet. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

This Saving Private Ryan one is rather amusing too. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGVZar5hmMs&feature=related)

Strangely enough this also got pulled in the UK.  Apparently for 'portraying homosexuals in a negative light"...which in itself is pretty much what they did when they pulled it.

How is that possibly offensive to homosexuals? God I hate how pussified humanity has become. Are gays really that fragile that making fun of gays can't be taken in stride? jesus tapdancing christ.

Careful what you say.  That post could be considered a hate crime and you could be locked up at any second!  OH NOES.

Well, when you have an entire country formed based upon homosexuality the entirely homosexual population is going to have a bit of a skewed world perspective.


What? The British aren't all gay?!?  Wow.  Sorry, my bad.

I'm of the opinion that if you can't stand being made fun of, you need to move to some country where fun is illegal... like China.

Honestly though... I hate humanity's pussification with a fiery passion... Fuck political correctness.

If I eat candy, I tend to get sick.  Sugar and I don't mix.
