Title: Please help get this video I worked on to 30,000 views!
Post by: it'sdevin on June 27, 2011, 11:47:50 PM: I worked on this fake commercial earlier this year, and we're almost at 30,000 views! Bonus points: If you listen carefully, I make a reference to a Scharpling & Wurster bit.

Watched it three times.

Found this in the comments:

It's a shame I can only LIKE this once. But damn if I'm not sharing it, because it's fucking hilarious. True humour comes from truth.

Post by: it'sdevin on June 28, 2011, 03:49:12 PM: Yeah, there's another comment that attempts to blow the lid off the CHEERIOS CONSPIRACY:

"General Mills, which makes Cheerios (which are made from OATS-- watch for the connection to OATMEAL) was actually told to stop advertising the FACT that eating this cereal on a regular basis had been clinically proven to lower the risk of heart attacks (remember what the media reported about oatmeal some time ago?). The reasoning behind this admonition? This kind of medically related claim can only be made about pharmaceutical drugs. Now who do you think was behind THAT piece of legislation?"

Thanks for everyone's help! We surpassed 30,000, and it looks like we're gonna hit 31,000 very soon.

Post by: buffcoat on June 28, 2011, 04:58:46 PM: Cheerios needs to go through the same extraordinarily expensive vetting process that pharma companies pay me to help them understand. What's wrong with that?

Was it "sudden thoughts of cannibalism?" That rang a bell*.

*A dinner bell.

Post by: it'sdevin on June 28, 2011, 09:28:06 PM: I know I took "heart stoppage" from the PerformaFog bit, but I think "sudden bouts of cannibalism" came from that, too.
