Another commercial I don't like

The corn syrup commercials. Horrible. Smug.

There are three of them I can recall...a girl with her boyfriend and a popsicle, two mothers at a kid's party and a punch bowl, two brothers and cereal.

In each case, one person says that high fructose corn syrup is not good for you, and the smug one looks act them with pity and like the person is a fool for believing the manipulative media sources; high fructose corn syrup is just as healthy as sugar and fine if used in moderation. The innocent dupe of false advertising is now on board with high fructose corn syrup. Victory.

But, isn't it true that the corn refiners association is using the same manipulative media sources to make their point. Plus they're using ridicule and mocking people's intelligence to do it.

I hate these commercials.
