Well, the Milky Way people came up with a new commercial...
And it adds a new meaning to the name 'Milky Way'.

There's this bloke sitting on a chair, eating a Milky Way.

He started to make noises.

Do I need to say anything more? It was embarrassing to watch.

It's bad enough to sell a product by concentrating the cameras on sexy people rather than the product... but to simulate an orgasm? This is beyond distasteful. x(

No more products from M&M/Mars corp EVER again. It's cheaper to eat spoonfuls of sugar anyway, which is all that chocolate candy is anyway...

2. Actually, I never have...
And if I did, I probably wouldn't whine about being single so much. O8)

That candy bar commercial and the shampoo commercial are too much...

4. really?
You'd boycott a company because they use sex to sell a product?

You'll be living in a cardboard hut wearing burlap sacks before long.

5. You don't think the burlap people are using subliminal sex to sell?
You're living in a dream world, my friend...

6. I saw that ad too
It disgusts me almost as much as the "girthy" Ball Park Franks ad.

7. This is a rather old ad
I saw it a year or two ago and was happy they took it off the air; it's reared its ugly head again. I love Milky Ways - I just despise this stupid ad!
