Here's a better idea:

"Women, take the Activia 14 day challenge!" It's a digestive aid: helps with occasional irregularity, and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). 

Oh, spare me this nonsense!

This is far easier and smarter: STOP EATING GODDAMN FLESH AND MILK, which, of course, is the primary cause of these issues. Or is this solution too simple and intuitive? These commercials are treating us like infants, truly ignorant infants at that. 

Also, because even cow mom's and baby's yearn to be together.

The lesson here is don't attack Mormons in Orem.

Friday August 1, 2008 10:57 AM by Jen
Several days ago two pit bulls and a labrador attacked a nice young Mormon man on his way to work in Orem, which is about 45 miles south of Salt Lake. The story was on the news the other day, and they showed a shot of the male pit bull, the only one who didn't get picked up and taken home after the attack (the female and the lab were both taken home by their people). The show shows him huddling at the back of a small concrete cage, devoid of food, water, cushion or toys. In fact, devoid of anything to offer him the remotest comfort, all alone in a strange and scary place.  

Regardless of whether the dog 'meant' to do this, does he still deserve to be treated worse than the worst of murderers? Even people like Jeffery Dahmer have a bed, and a sink, and access to water. And yet here sits a dog who both victims say shouldn't be held responsible, sitting on a concrete floor, plainly terrified. 

Were this the human world, and this a man who had attacked another man, perhaps he would get a five year jail sentence. Perhaps less, especially with his victims speaking out for him. Instead, this dog's life is at stake, teetering on the edge. Were he a child, or even mentally handicapped, he would be allowed to live. Even if he was on death row, he would have some small comforts. All because he's a pit bull, and in our racist, prejudice world, that's enough to send him to death. Reminds me of a by-gone (and good riddance) era in which Black people were killed for even looking at White women.
