The first time I saw one of the new AM/PM commercials with their new mascot, [Toomgis](http://www.ampm.com/toomgis), I honestly thought is was going to be some kind of PSA about obesity and a warning to avoid junk food. That’s how this character seemed to me: a cautionary tale. As the commercial continued, I was surprised to realize the advertisers actually expected me to connect with this thing as a spokesmascot and positive representation of the company being advertised. Really? That thing is hideous, low-IQ, and gluttonous. He immediately gives me negative impressions of AM/PM, a company I had previously been neutral towards. Yuck. Toomgis is _not_ “Too Much Good Stuff”. Toomgis is an assault on the senses. ---

It is hard to imagine that somebody said ‘that is perfect, go with him’. ---

Besides the snacks, it’s made of “35 kinds of generosity and kindness”. What does that even mean? ---

That is truly nightmare fuel. I’m not sure of it’s the Cheese Doodle beard or hotdog fingers that’s worse. Probably the fingers. ---

Dear God what is that thing? There’s only one thing to do; steel-cage death match between this mutant and whoever’s Col. Sanders this week. ---

That is terrifying…but not as terrifying as the thought of him and the BK King being lovers. Just imagine…the two of them laying in bed next to each other, sharing a cigarette…fry sauce and mustard splattered against the wall…sadly…that’s the first thing that popped into my head. My sad, little perverted mind has failed me yet again.
