Commercial Woes

There are some commercials on TV that bug me for one reason or another, but there are two that distress me.

1) You know that song "Whoomp There it is" from the mid 90's? I like that song, but it is now being used in a diaper blowout commercial. There are cartoon babies in a contest to see who has the biggest blowout and if the diaper will hold it. Disturbing and unappealing commercial, and it saddens me that they're using that song for it.

2) There is a commercial for chocolate milk and how it tastes good and is good for you. I see that commercial and yell at the TV, "No! Don't do it! Don't buy the chocolate milk!!" (like they can really hear me. ;) ) When my sister Stacy was on her mission in Illinois, she was told by someone who grew up on a farm that you should never drink store-bought chocolate milk. Sometimes blood and/or puss from the cow gets into the milk. Rather than throw it away, the milk has chocolate added to it to make it chocolate milk which disguises the blood and puss, so it's sellable. Absolutely gross! If you ever want chocolate milk, use regular milk and just add your own chocolate syrup to it.

You have ruined chocolate milk for me forever. How reliable is this source?

If you have dvr, you don't have to watch commercials at all. Then you can be much happier and commercial free.
But, I agree, those commercials are dumb.
