Amazing how much heat IKEA caught for that commercial featuring a gay couple, despite Winston having gone there first. Big tobacco was a progressive, equal opportunity murder–marketer from the first.

More likely just incomplete animation.

The one cereal my mom would not buy on a regular basis. My brothers and I would scarf a box down in one night.

If you run it backwards, you’ll see Dino using the cereal container as a sandbox.

Oh boy, first the exercise bike, now breakfast cereal!

So, you’re accusing the poster of poisoning Barney?

I’ve sworn off refined sugar so long I can’t handle pebbles
