Made for What?
Have you seen the new Dairy Queen commercials that are currently airing? There are a couple different versions of the "Made for Each Other" ads, and they both feature a woman dressed like vanilla soft serve ice cream and a guy dressed like a waffle bow with chocolate around the edge. In one, the woman asks if she can borrow some chocolate syrup from the waffle bowl guy. He asks her what she's going to do with it and she replies, "Pour it all over my body." The waffle bowl guy looks like he's turned on.

The other commercial that I've seen, the soft serve woman is in a house and she's following a trail of broken waffle pieces up the stairs, only to arrive in the bedroom, where waffle bowl guy is laying on the bed, with the trail of broken waffle pieces leading up to him. He presents a can of whipped cream for some "foreplay". Ok, the idea of soft serve ice cream and a waffle bowl being in a romantic relationship is really disturbing. The Dairy Queen ad says, "They were made for each other." I can't believe that they are using innuendo to sell ice cream. Is anyone else disturbed by this campaign or is it just me?
