Screature Attacks!

I was lying around, minding my own business on Saturday morning when I came across a commercial for the Screature. This commercial seemed normal at first, some stupid kid playing with some awesome new dinosaur toy – then came the Screature Attacks portion, at about 18 seconds in.

Now, I know I may be reading a little too far into it, but the whole thing just seemed a bit odd to me. Here’s this girl, rubbing the Screature’s head and then it flips out and squirts all over her. The parallels seem pretty solid to me. I suppose its good in that it educates as the the cause-and-effect relationship they might encounter when they get older… and are married (see, we advocate good values on this blog) but until then, don’t girls have enough to worry about growing up without some dinosaur giving them a pearl necklace. Was that too far? I think it may have been too far.

I’m sure the guys that work on these get bored and I know stuff slips through the cracks – just look at any mid-90’s Disney classic – but at some point there had to be some executive who said… “Wait a second, does that look like what I think it looks like?”

No? Didn’t happen? This thing made it to television. It reminded me of this classic commercial:

Am I missing any other hilariously non-sexual-but-really-sexual commercials?

**UPDATE**

In the middle of a conversation about how awful the idea of go-gurt is, we found this little packaging (emphasis on word package) gem from our friends at Yoplait:

Is this serious? Surely this can’t be serious.
