Assvertising

Kate's post about the manflu reminded me that I've been meaning to post about this obnoxious Vicks Dayquil advert for ages (it's the first of the two in this video):

A white man is lying on a couch, looking pathetic and coughing. His wifemommy walks in. "I can't reach the remote," he whines, looking at her plaintively. She tosses a box of Vicks Dayquil at him. Cut to a whitescreen with the text: "Thankfully, it even works on the man-cold."
Whooooooooops I barfed on your Vicks Dayquil.
