That's Not a Fucking Hamster!!!
Lately they've been running an ad for a mobile phone ringtone song noise thingy called Zingende Hamster (Singing Hamster). They play the bloody ad every 5 minutes. Look at it! IS THAT A HAMSTER????!!!!
Apparently when some guy thought this up, no one at his Advertising Firm thought to question him about it. Or perhaps they did?
"Um......Excuse me Jan? You keep calling that a singing hamster, but it looks like a bear."
"Well it isn't a bear, it's a hamster."
"Are you sure Jan? Because in all our focus groups they've said --"
"Yes I'm sure!! When I was a boy my family was on a camping trip and my father was killed by a giant hamster, so I think I know what a fucking hamster looks like, thank you!"
"Um, OK, Jan.....Well if your father was killed by a.....hamster, then wouldn't you like to choose some other animal for the ad? Something that doesn't bring up so many issues? A bunny rabbit maybe?"
"A bunny rabbit!!?? What are you kidding me??! One of those stabbed my brother!"

you know, i almost did not watch the wee "hamster" ad. you could have mentioned that there was a pretty wet woman, hello!
I just conferred with a 2 and 5 year old, both experts on the topic of rodents and their musical aptitude, and they both agree -- it is a bear playing a guitar.
