strange kids commercial

[beezlebob]

I was watching morning childrens TV with my kid and this commercial comes on. Two kids appear to be swinging something round and round with their teeth, like a thin rope or something. They fall down onto the ground dizzy and start hallucinating in a kaleidoscope sort of way while this Indian sitar music plays, The commercial is for tie-die Fruit By The Foot. WTF?

Anyone else see any bizarre commercials lately?

Thanks for the warning. My 5 yr old has made the mistake of thinking that if we buy for her certain foods, things like this would happen. Gogurt for instance....a few weeks ago she chose a certain flavor and was sure she would turn the color of this yogurt in a tube. She was disappointed, but now reminds herself out loud, "that is tv, it's not real." But still quick to tell us we have to go to Sears if our refrigerator ever stops working. *sigh*.


This product you mention....hmmm....and parents and teachers think a large number of children have a.d.

Haven't seen the ad, but I did hear two kids pleading for it at Kroger the other day. And I was thinking to myself, "did that girl just say 'tie-dye'?"

This was after I had already encountered the little gremlins at the entrance whining for one of the racecar shopping carts. As if I don't already have to fight Hyde Park mom SUVs for parking, now I have to manuever around their big-ass toy shopping carts.
