  a new commercial that i already hate You may have seen it. It's for this new type of butter spread by "Country Crock" that apparently contains...are you ready...yogurt. Now, my feelings about putting yogurt in your butter aren't really the issue here. It's pretty gross, but hey, to each his own.
The commercial itself is really what makes me retch. In the commercial, this yuppie stud is doing sit-ups in his yuppie apartment, while yuppie wife is holding down his feet for greater sit-up capability. As he starts to feel the pressure and slow down, the significant other taunts him by saying something like, "now now, don't stop just yet...just think about your REWARD. " At this point she waves a piece of bread in his face, slathered with the yogurt/butter mixture.
Okay, first of all, I know it's been a while since I've done sit-ups, but I wouldn't appreciate someone waving food at me while I'm in that much pain. Also, when I'm doing that kind of physical activity, I'm not thinking about bread, or butter, or yogurt. I'm thirsty. You want to reward me? Get me a Powerade or something. And I'm not even going to attempt any comment about the amount of spread they dolloped onto this piece of bread.
"Yeah honey, after my intense workout I'm going to get back to the business of hardening my arteries with this butter/curdled milk grout. Thanks!
