I don’t want to spoil anything for you, but nope.
Maybe I am wrong, maybe this is a genius bit of meta-irony.
Hilarious either way.
OK, I’ll stop.
Ringtone worm.
The worst part of the Peekaboo ad, besides everything, is that you think it’s over, you hear the announcer telling the name of the product, and suddenly that curly-haired children-of-the-corn motherfucker pops up at the end.
Maybe to wipe off the fingerprints? Or to make it smell like poo.
This is a whoosh, right? You aren’t one of the dipwads that has ignored all of the evidence, and I believe, that they finally lost their charity standing? All the HSUS cares about is making money.
There aren’t any, not advertising on TV. Teaching people to act responsibly isn’t eye catching enough to bring in millions of dollars in donations.
That Peekaboo one wins by a mile. Holy shit, that’s annoying. I have great sympathy for those with children who have to listen to that.
The stuffed penguin has tiny stuffed worms.
I don’t know much about HSUS, but Charity Navigator gives them 3 of 4 stars. But it appears that the current rating is end of year 2013, so perhaps a bit out of date? They have the info from 2014, so i am not sure why the discrepancy.
And their website still indicates it’s a 501(c)3 non-profit.
Cite?
Briefly there was a Donor Advisory from Charity Navigator. This cite covers that. They never lost their 501C3 standing.

That’s the spirit!
Wow! I finally got noticed!
I hate these ads. Not because it’s Christmas, but because my two-year-old (almost) daughter loves them. Every time one comes on (and do they all have Sarah McLachlan singing on them?), my daughter becomes transfixed, and gets all quiet, and says “sad babies, sad babies,” or “sad puppies” or whatever miserable creature is being displayed.
Too bad, I thought I’d seen it go by that they’d lost that. I don’t have any of my info on what was going on with it as I had a computer crash and lost all of my bookmarks but I do know they were or still are in danger of no longer being licensed as a charity. Something about not using the money donated for the things that they claim it will be, and the IRS.
Or, it may be that what I saw was the HSUS losing it’s approval by Charity Navigator.
I rather surprised that there is anyone here who doesn’t know what the HSUS is all about, but a little Googling would solve that.
Exactly! Why Do I have to mute the TV so I also don’t have to listen to all of the (in some cases, fake) mewling about the sick children, the abused pets. There are four or five different ads on frequent rotation right now that drive even my husband to mute the TV, and he only see about four hours of it a day.
If, as it appears, you’re not time-shifting your viewing, the obvious question is: why aren’t you muting EVERY commercial and restoring sound when the probram resumes?
I find that to be a pain in the ass. It forces you to pay MORE attention to the commercials since you have to watch them more carefully in order not to miss when your program starts and it’s time to unmute.
I am so sorry. Life must be really really hard for you. Have you figured out breathing yet? Don’t give up. One day you’ll get the hang of it. I know you will. I believe in you. 
The most touching gift of the year. Nothing brings a family together like porn. (Link is SFW).
I’m female.
And I didn’t post that commercial!
