A (World) Series of Ads

As a result of a series of "got milk" ads during the playoffs and the World series, someone has decided there's nothing funny about steroid use.

"There is nothing humorous about steroid abuse," said Tim Brosnan, executive vice president for business for the league. "I would think that the California Milk Processor Board and their advertising agency would know better regarding an issue that threatens America's youth."

Excuse me Mr. Brosnan. It's a parody and it's about milk. How does that threaten America's youth? I think if an organization (and you know they had to know--but that is another story) sets themselves up for this kind of ribbing, than it is fair game. It's just like anything else in politics, religion, or society. It just pokes at a raw nerve. And a very deserving poke, in my opinion.
