The joke is sooo played-out, it's supremely annoying. And they just keep coming with that crap!

It's perhaps one of the most disgusting things I've seen....just the idea that this contraption, sucking away (oh, there are noises in the commercial, too!) at this old ugly man with multiple nipples/teats makes me want to vomit.

Well, if it weren't for one of these factoids I might not have noticed the subliminal message in an All-Bran commercial. A constrcution worker, an older man, walks around a job site, where there is a lot of construction-related activity going on behind him, whilst eating a bowl of All-Bran and talking about how he took their 10 Day Challenge. In the background, a bunch of girders suddenly protrude from a window. Construction worker goes on to say how All-Bran made him feel regular, less weighted down. Some barrels tumble from a rooftop. Finally, he urges the viewer to try it for himself. And a dumptruck unloads a massive heap of debris.

It sounds more blatant when I describe it.

Is this horrible, or brilliant, or tongue-in-cheek?
