So we're doing this unit on advertising in English class, right? And we watched all these super-old commercials and talked about them and stuff. The point is, now I kinda have this stuck in my head.

Questions:
-How do I get it out of my head?
-How'd they make the kids get lifted by the invisible guy when CGI wasn't invented in the sixties? Wires? Blue screen, except for black-and-white somehow? Retrospec? I don't get it.
-Are oats even a good source of protein? I thought that was, like, meat and peanuts and stuff, and grains were for carbohydrates or something.

Sorry to ask, but this is really bothering me. At least it's not like those creepy burger ads with the plastic-face king.

- Find something more annoying, and if you need help, I know a few worse thing.
- Just because the CGI we know wasn't invented yet didn't mean they didn't have ways. Photo and video manipulation has existed since it's been invented as a media. You can find entire documentaries about that stuff on the internet.
- Back then they probably didn't know it wasn't a good source of protein. I mean, this video is ancient.

More annoying, huh... should I ask?

[missingache]

Depends. Do you want meme worthy annoying or annoying annoying.

[maidofmistakes]

At this point, I'll take anything that doesn't go "get your protein every day."

[You asked for it]

This gets stuck in my head a lot.

[maidofmistakes]

That's... definitely a cat and a banana.

[missingache]

You don't think it's annoying?

[maidofmistakes]

I don't know, just kind of weird.

[missingache]

Just weird? Alright, let me find another one.

[How about this?]

[maidofmistakes]

It sounds like a football game!

[missingache]

Is there nothing that annoys you other than the commercial you posted???

[maidofmistakes]

I guess I just try to be easygoing most of the time!

[missingache]

You can be easygoing and still be annoyed by stuff.

[maidofmistakes]

There is that really old hamster thing from, like, twenty years ago...

[missingache]

Hamster thing?

[maidofmistakes]

This weird infinite loop. I can't find it, but it was all these weird pictures.

[missingache]

That sounds like something that would drive people crazy.

[maidofmistakes]

No kidding. I guess old people did weird stuff on the internet, too.
