To Be Frank
Before you read (more haha pun) the post, please play this clip. It's thirty seconds. It's hilarious. And it may offend you.
It was brought to my attention by some well informed friends that the above commercial has been banned in Canada. Apparently, the exhibited violence against children is inappropriate. Even though the kid popped right back up and himself exclaimed in his best Keanu Reaves impression (which seriously lacked, they need to cast better children), "whoa".
I, for one, think these particular series of ads are ROFL-ly amusing, especially this one.
Leave it to a country that somehow allows wrestling (where it's not uncommon for men to hit women), 24 (they had guns pointed at those poor kids! "Damn Jack!"), and Ben Mulroney (he's just terrible) to air on television, and this being a small sampling discovered on a normal Monday night television lineup.
But God forbid we have a jolly and lovable man that resembles a slightly seared marshmallow, no, a chocolate covered marshmallow, engage in a puny (I would've spelled that word with two n's...it looks disfigured with one, but hey, I'm not a founding father of the English language) pillow fight with his children.
