Uncle Beer, I’m not the naive little girl I was when first I stumbled upon the Straight Dope. I am aware of what “Teabagging” is, and that’s why I like his username. 😉 'Nuff said. Zette ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zette \* > I took a non-voluntary break from TV in January, and I have not seen this commerical. It sounds horrible! I did, however, see a commerical today (on a sports channel at the bar) that had a big black bear drinking beer with some Japanese gentlemen at a restaurant. In the next scene, they are all up singing karaoke. Very funny, but I wish I’d heard what was going on. [hijack] Great commercial for Labatt Blue, a Canadian beer. The whole series is like that. The scenario is that the bear’s at this Japanese restaurant having trouble with his chopsticks, when the man sitting next to him offers to help, saying (in broken English), “_I am from Japan._” To whch the bear offers a bottle of Labatt Blue and replies, “_I am from Canada._” Thus prompting several other Japanese men to exclaim “_CANADA!_” At the top of their lungs. Next scene is the Karaoke. “_You made me love you…I didn’t want to do it…_” Genuinely funny and not stupid-funny like Pepsi commercials. Of course, my retelling has sucked all the funny right out of it. [/hijack] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by sewalk \* > \*\*It could have been worse. I won’t post the link in recognition of SDMB prohibitions on nudity, but do a google search for “singing penis”. Just imagine if she’d seen that. She’d be in therapy for life. \*\* I watched this show on HBO once where they showed all sorts of sexy ads and there was this one ad for a lesbian radio station where Mr. Happy starts singing along with some pop song. God that was creepy. And while we’re talking about singing body parts,has anyone seen the movie “Chatter Box”? The basic plot is that a woman’s uhh,nether regions start singing:eek: ---

That ad isn’t Vaguely Creepy. It’s frighteningly, completely, utterly, horrifyingly creepy. It scares the bejeebers outta me. ---

_shudders in terror_ The first time I saw that commercial, as soon as I realized that the bellybuttons were singing _this took me a while_, I ran out of the room screaming. That commercial is seriously warped. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/singing-belly-buttons-make-my-daughter-cry/74316.md?page=1)
