Every day it seems I come across something that makes me lose a little more faith in humanity. Sanjaya Malakar is one of them, but that's another post for another day. Today, it was the news of the Toronto Blue Jays commercial being banned by the Television Bureau of Canada because it depicts slugger Frank Thomas swatting one of his kids with a pillow in a pillow fight.
Yes. A pillow.
You can read all about it for yourself in The New York Times and form your own opinion, but it is The Rules' opinion that anyone who can't find the innocent humor in this ad has a black soul and eats puppies for lunch. I'm sure that Jim Patterson, president of the Television Bureau of Canuckdom, enjoys a Schnauzer on rye at least three times a week.
Which is exactly why I love YouTube. The TVB may not want you to see the ad, but I sure do. So feast your eyes on this wonderful piece of advertising genius (and leave the puppy feasting to the critics).
Update: If any of you want to let Jim Patterson know that his verdict regarding this ad is hogwash, you can email him at the address I found on this page of the TVB's website. And please, be civil. You don't want a black soul too.

That's funny! And it's a little something we Americans like to call: CG.
