That was the best they could come up with?

oreocake.jpgThis isn’t really a life lesson. Well, it’s an advertising lesson. If you are selling food, don’t gross people out with your product. I was watching a pizza commercial, (I think it was pizza at least, the experience was so traumatizing that I’ve partially blocked the entire event).

For some reason it showed a lot of guys with beards made out of Oreo & frosting. It’s the first time I’ve seen Oreos look disgusting. First off, facial hair is rarely attractive. Secondly, it’s even worse when the facial hair is made out of food. I would’ve loved to have been in the marketing meeting where that was the best idea, I can’t imagine what they threw out.

    I like your layout! Very pretty!
