Sicko Shrimps

Is anybody else disturbed by the Dairy Queen commercial with the two shrimp eating popcorn shrimp?


If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the synopsis:

Male shrimp is eating something.

Female shrimp: What’s that?

Male shrimp: It’s the new popcorn from Dairy Queen. It’s delicious. Try some.

Female shrimp: This is great. Wait a minute, this isn’t popcorn! This is popcorn shrimp!

Male shrimp: I knew there was something familiar about it.

Female shrimp: Wait a minute! Where are the kids?

Both: (screaming)


Okay, this is really one of the more disturbing commercials I’ve seen in a while. Dining on children is now funny? I missed that memo. I was surprised to see this commercial twice. How long will it be on the air before DQ thinks better of it?

Its a commercial for popcorn shrimp. I think its creative and cute. I love their new one for the cake with the old man and old woman. Get a life seriously. Complain about the war or air pollution. Honestly....

Oh my God. Lighten up. It's a JOKE.
Eating children is only funny because they aren't human and because the whole thing is an animated cartoon.

There is an old Far Side comic with a bull grilling hamburgers, and some of his bull friends go by saying, "You're SICK, Jesse! Sick! Sick! Sick!"

It's funny. Don't take yourself or life so seriously, or literally.

You do know that many Aquatic species cannibalize their own children right?
