Questionable line

"It is unclear whether the use of mutated rodent-like creatures with vaguely disturbing facial features will motivate consumers to order food products."

Should this really be in here? It sounds a lot like something one might find on BAJODN, but it doesn't feel very encyclopedic to me. Plus, that ad campaign has ended, and I don't believe it worked very well. --Aurochs

That line was replaced by "The commercials stopped airing in 2004 after much protest by many parents of teenagers." Could somebody please elaborate on this? I don't really think that there was anything objectionable about the commercials... What was the problem? I suppose I'll do some research on this.
Okay, some quick Googling seems to show that, while there are people who do hate the commercials and actively protested against them, this had little or nothing to do with being the parents of teenagers. I'm going to remove that part from the article. --Aurochs

Why do we need a link to a blog entry attacking it? Bloggers say a lot of shit, and Wikipedia would be absolutely unnavigable if we felt the need to link to every bluster. --24.17.178.228

Usually, you would be right. But in this instance, the blog entries show how the general public reacted, and help to explain why the ads were pulled. In this instance, I think they are appropriate and should stay. --Aurochs
