He Who Laughs Last

There are many who consider advertising an art form though not merely as many who believe it a perversion and debasement of an art form. Potato, potatoe, pass the salad, Mr. Quayle.

I think we can all agree whoever came up with the original (and subsequent) infomercials should be bludgeoned like a baby seal. As for home shopping channels, I've yet to find a cable system that will allow me to delete them, along with Faux Gnus, OAN, and Newsmax, but that's just me. Perhaps I need to better emulate Diogenes (who is not a guest commentator on MSNBC) and redouble my search efforts.

Apparently, this television commercial by Molson Coors overstepped when it told viewers the truth under the guise of attempted humor (while taking a potshot at a competitor, Anheuser Busch) and will or has already disappeared thanks to the National Advertising Division of the Better Business Bureau.

Makes we wonder when the guys downtown will get around to these folks.
