Go Humans Go

Is anyone else totally confused by the new Quaker Oats advertising campaign?


This sign seems to imply that the Quakers are either aliens or robots who I guess are trying to encourage us to eat hearty whole grain oatmeal products so that we will be healthier and more efficient as we harvest fuel for their spaceships that run on babies. I will never be able to look at a can of oatmeal the same way again, now that I know that the seemingly delightful and friendly Quaker dude probably has a metal skeleton and enjoys his simple Quaker evenings reclining on a porch swing made of human bones. "Go humans, Go", he cackles maniacally as he flings flaming globs of flavorless gruel at us as we try to run away.

Actually, I could really go for some oatmeal right about now.

OMG. I'm feeding Will oatmeal right now. Does it make a difference if it's not Quaker oatmeal? We don't love our baby very much so we just buy the store brand.

:( I'm a Quaker and I despise the "Quaker Oats Guy" cause he just gets me made fun of whenever I mention to people that I'm a Quaker. I don't dress like that and I just feel like I'm part of his fucking marketing campaign ;_;
dammit...

anyway.
the billboard's kinda funny actually, but aside from that, fuck the Quaker Oats guy!! >:0
