bad ass commercial
Yesterday I saw a bad ass commercial, and I don't mean that in a good way. The commercial started with a middle aged white man and black woman sitting at a counter in a diner. They are chatting with their server about COLON CANCER SCREENING.
GAH!
The women are saying something to the extent of - How can getting a camera rammed up my butt prevent colon cancer? And the guy says LET ME SHOW YOU!!!
Wha????
He then takes a spoon and blazes a curvy trail through his mashed potatos and then he drops a lima bean into it. He says imagine these potatos are your colon and when you get a colonoscopy they can find polyps (like the lima bean) and remove them before they turn cancerous. As he says this he stabs the bean with his fork and pops it into his mouth, smiling like a fool. Then the black women says oh no you didn't! And then they both throw back their heads and laugh.
It reminded me of the SNL commercial for Oops I crapped my pants, where the guy is like imagine this pitcher of tea is a gallon of your feces! I wanted to throw up.
And in other news, I just love all of these:
Washington Post's Mensa Invitational asked readers to take any word
from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one
letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this year's winners.
1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until
you realize it was your money to start with.
2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
3. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops
bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows
little sign of breaking down in the near future.
4. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the
subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
5. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
6. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the
person who doesn't get it.
7. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
8. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
9. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
10. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these
really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's
like, a serious bummer.
11. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day
consuming only things that are good for you.
12. Glibido: All talk and no action.
13. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when
they come at you rapidly.
14. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after
you've accidentally walked through a spider web.
15. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into
your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
16. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in
the fruit you're eating.
And the pick of the lot:
17. Ignoranus (n.): A person who's both stupid and an a**hole.
