I can't stand those ads myself, but WTF?

WTF is right.

I didn't like them because they advocated kids having sex with cactuses, and they were against drinking water.

lol

I thought they were really creepy.  And it made my mind wander to questions about having sex with cactuses that I frankly didn't want to think about.

LOL. I'm embarassed to say me too. However, I kind of liked the story as it went along.

But I didn't like that it was against water. I thought that in a day where obesity is a major problem, healthy diets (water included) should be promoted. Not some electrolytes filled drink. It makes me think of Idiocracy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/) where everyone drinks some sports drink because it's full of electrolytes and they don't even know what it is.

I don't like it because of that girl's voice. Reminds me of that awful Shake 'n' Bake advert ("And I helped.").
