Rotten Milk

ok...from the title you might think i happened to drink spoilt milk or something..actually...i had the strangest thought in the car on the way to school this morning...since my parents listen to chinese radio, i hear lot's of advertisements that while in english sound perfectly logical in chinese i can't really understand...

i'm a chinese banana........anyway...

there was some advertisement going on about how some brand of baby milk helped this kid learn stuff really quick and become super smart with it's super DHA powers and stuff like that

in the advert, the kid talking had a super long name and his first name was 'anderson??!!'..yea

then he started talking about t-rexs and how they liked to eat 'san jiao long' for meat...or as i interpreted it, 3 foot dinosaur...his mum attributed he's pandai-ness to milk

WHAT KIND OF DINOSAUR HAS 3 FEET???!!!...what kind of living thing for that matter has 3 feet?

maybe ants where even after you squish them and the legs fall off they still move


anyways...the point is i felt it was kinda absurd for these companies to make the public believe that by making their babies drink their milk the can become future einsteins...i mean seriously...go ahead and advertise it if the calcium content were higher or if there's vegetables powder added in for extra minerals...but if milk really made you smarter everyone would be drinking it to be smart...imagine adults drinking baby milk

obviously these milk adverts are increasing cause of the recent melamine cases...but still come on...don't go around fooling the poor public that milk is the elixir of intelligence

oh yea...now that i think about it, i think 'san jiao long' is triceratops...jiao can mean horn too..whoops..sorry little kid
