Poll question: Are you bothered by commercials which humanize inanimate foods?

Was just watching the Chips Ahoy commercial where the cookie is at a birthday party. He says, "Where's the cake?" and a girl replies, "We're not having cake!" Implying, of course, that they're going to eat the cookie.

Anybody else bothered by this?

1. I've always hated those. The m&ms ads were bad too. n/t

2. And

Who can forget those poor M&Ms

3. How about the cute cartoon bears selling tolilet paper?

Or the fabric softner commerical with the cute talking teddybear?

7. I didn't like the ones where the Snuggle bear was being rude

to the porcupine.

5. No, only those that humanize animate foods.

6. Oh, and that damn Teddy Grahams commercial,

where a little boy puts one of the bears in a glass of milk.

BOY (In bear's voice): Help! Help!
BOY (regular voice): I'll save you! (pulls bear out of milk)
BOY (Bear's voice): Thanks! That was close.

Then the boy eats the damn bear! That's just wrong!

8. My mother can't stand those!

I think they're a little disturbing too. Especially the one for Weinersnchitzel where a panicked hotdog is frantically running away to escape being eaten.

9. It's freaky

The M&Ms, the Quiznos rats, the bears, everything. I miss the days of just a normal commercial product pitch.

11. "That ain't no way to sell nothin'!!", as my Uncle would say..lol n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

10. Yes, I'm bothered by the idea that people will

begin to anthropomorphize food, and project feelings onto it soon.

[flamingyouth]

13. Yes - the talking pasta from a couple of years back disturbed me

"Hi! We only want to be eaten with the best spaghetti sauce in a jar"! :wtf:

[Lorne]

14. I hate any and all commercials, except the MoveOn.org ads.

[Elidor]

15. I find it strangely erotic...

That's one lucky damn cookie, if you ask me.

16. Now that you mention it.. Yes, I am.
