...... I was reading someone's entry on red bull and how they had to put a warning on how it does't actualy give you wings.... What does that say about what they think of us... It kinda reminds me of this episode of family guy where the toy company that peter works at gets taken over by a tabacco company and they start putting subliminal advertising in the toys, so lois notices and tells peter to go talk to them so the Conversation between the El Dorado cigarette company and peter goes a little like this
Peter Griffin Gentlemen, we need to talk.
Peter Griffin My wife says you're trying to get kids to smoke.
Executive That's just not true.
Peter Griffin What about this toy?
Executive Peter, it's just a doll with a cigarette.
Executive Barbie has a Dream Car, but you don't see every 8-year-old driving.
Executive They're just fun toys.
Jerry Smoke!
Executive Not now, Jerry. Trust me, Peter.
Executive The last thing we want is to get kids to start smoking.
Peter Griffin What about that graph on the wall that says:
Peter Griffin "The first thing we want is to get kids to start smoking"?
Executive That? That's just something my son made me in art class.
Peter Griffin Then what about that poster that says:
Peter Griffin "The graph was not made in art class. We really do want kids to start smoking"?
Executive Look, we're a caring company.
Executive I mean, would you really be the president of a company that didn't care about kids?
Peter Griffin No. But I'm not the president.
Executive Yes, you are, if you want to be.
Men [Agreeing]
Peter Griffin Wow. Imagine, me, president.
[Joyful instrumental music]
Peter Griffin I'll do it!
So now what does this show us??
The beauty of people who think were stupid and that makes me think...
If they really think were so dumb....
What is the world coming to?
