Humorless Animal Activists Freak Out Over Man on Dog Commercial

man_on_dog.jpg

Adrants reader Roy Coffman sends us this little bit over reactive buffoonery regarding a man, a dog and humorless animal activists. In the UK, Kellogg’s is running an ad that shows a man riding home from work on top of an Irish Wolfhound. We’ve seen the ad and think it’s funny. Apparently, at least 100 people don’t and have complained to the Advertising Standards Authority. For some reason, even though it’s quite obvious the pairing of the man and dog are computer generated, the complainers think the ad is cruel and that there’s going to be a trend of kids hopping on dogs copying this commercial. OK, everyone. Take a deep breathe. Let it out. There. Is all your freakishly obsessive, humorless behavior gone now? If not, repeat until it is or just shut up and let the rest of us enjoy this commercial.
