There is no worse advertiser than milk. As if it wasn't bad enough that their product is blamed for all kinds of things like childhood obesity and drug-resistant MRSA infections, they seem never be planning to let up with that disgusting viscous curdled- milk-mustache-on-tween-pop-stars campaign. Now, Big Milk has outdone itself with a series of visually interesting animated ads that bring back stereotypes about women from, like, the 18th century ("The princess's horrible hair was the reason she was unmarried"), and are also so sneaky and misinforming as to just be flat-out lies. Milk hates women:
The calcium in milk (or in anything else with calcium) helps with the terrible PMS that keeps princesses from being attractive. Aren't we BEYOND THIS?:
And the WORST one, which, aside from being appallingly sexist, actually contains a major and obvious grammatical mistake. ("Until a wise peasant, without using neither force nor a sword") It's already clear this was created by total morons, but thanks for the official stamp:
Oh, and it becomes obvious at the end that these commercials are aimed at Spanish-speaking Americans, to add another level of condescension to the mix. If the Dairy Industry wants to be more truthful, they should do one about a young princess, who wishes and dreams for only one thing: to get her first period by the age of seven... (Via Adrants.)
