MLB Angry at "Got Milk" Ad; Stop Doing Performance Enhancing Drugs If You Can't Take The Jokes!
Topic: Sports
Athletes have never been accused of being smart, or non-violent or compassionate about much of anything. Since the steroid scandal broke earlier this year, MLB has come under fire and the baseball season has watched as the premier hitters have either backed off of their game or stopped producing at all. While we can only speculate, it seems that the good folks behind the "Got Milk" campaign decided they knew.
In a recent ad, that has been running during the World Series, no less, a player is pulled from a game because he tested positive for a "performance enhancing substance." His coach then pulls a carton of milk out of the player's locker. Ho ho ho. Kind of clever and such, but not according to humorless tits at Major League Baseball.
"There is nothing humorous about steroid abuse," said Tim Brosnan, executive vice president for business for the league. "I would think that the California Milk Processor Board and their advertising agency would know better regarding an issue that threatens America's youth."Okay Tim, then stop letting your players get away with taking fucking steroids. Pretty easy solution right there. You can check out the ad online at the bottom of the linked page. Or you can watch baseball and pretend to give a crap about the game being played, even though you don't recognize the names of anyone on the field. Baseball has gone down hill...
