Why does every ad for a cereal product SHOUT WHAT A GREAT TIME OF THE DAY TO EAT AND WHEN I HAVE "CEREAL" I GET SO FIRED UP THAT I AM GOING TO TAKE ON THE DAY AND RULE THE WORLD BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!!

Seriously, I am tiring of these ads. I don't even eat breakfast...in fact, literally nobody I know eats it. When was cereal important to me and my friends? Well, when we were just out of college, had no money, couldn't cook and truly appreciated the simplicity of eating cereal...for every meal.

However, if you watched tv for a living (like me. blush blush), you'd think that you couldn't survive without cereal.

I mean, what is it really—like, hay with sugar right?

Now you might ask yourself, "Why is Woz only now coming out with this diatribe?" The answer is simple: I sat through yet another ad for Raisin Bran Crunch where I can hear this idiot employee-dude crunching and chewing and sucking his cereal while some boss-chump tries unsuccessfully to fire him. The sounds are disgusting...yes, as disgusting as those Carl's Jr. ads where people drip and ooze mayonnaise and oil allover themselves, licking their fingers (which I'm sure have not been washed since they were touching the counter and door at a fast food restaurant).

Cereal needs to grow up...cereal ads need to go away. Grrrrr.

I love cereal but I must agree that the whole "YESS I fired a CORPORATE REBEL" thing turned me off in that spot!

Dude, it must be a red state thing. We all eat cereal here in St. Louis. My dad eats Frosted Flakes literally every morning at 10 a.m. They even just opened a Cereal cybercafe somewhere recently, where you can try out all the different cereals. Get your fiber, my man! America is Kansas wheatfields and cereal for breakfast! It's what's for breakfast! START THAT DAY OUT RIGHT!
