A fear of things like this potential Folgers' commercial coming true is what causes me to sleep with a belt-fed weapon and lots of ammo close at hand.

Of course, I'm not a coffee drinker.

I think the ad agency mistook coffee for another not-quite-so-legal stimulant...

Nightmare is right. I think that's about the most disturbing ad I've seen in a long time. The freaks who came up with this must be on regular doses of LSD. Or Maybe they should be on massive doses of Lithium. Only a truly insane mind could have created this.

That's as good a reason as any to sleep with a belt-fed weapon. Somebody deserves to get shot for coming up with that thing. I wonder if Folger's parent company has set up an insurance policy to replace any TVs that get destroyed when that abomination comes on?

Is this symbolism for creeping (and creepy) government nanny socialism touching every frickin area of our lives?

Folgers: Now made with that other major Columbian export!

I'd drink a steaming cup of my own filth before I'd touch that swill.

That commercial looks like something right out of the early '70s. Not a compliment.

Hehe, misread that as fosters at first though. I'd keep a Davy Crockett at my bed too if that were the case.

Suggestions for slogans:

Folger's Pot Roast
Folger's Acid Blend
Folger's Afghan Poppy Mild

I'm thinking this could be used in interrogations at Gitmo. Or perhaps in telling the bad guys that this is what the Marines will do to them if they don't renounce jihad. Better get ready for mass surrenders.

Did Stephen King have anything to do with this?

Folger's Crack of Dawn

Well, I'm just going to have to stop trying to view anything with Quicktime. I can't make it work in either Firefox or IE.

I used to hate RealPlayer more than QT, but that's changing fast.

I now have that jingle stuck in my head, thank you very little.

What ever happened to Folgers being "the best part of waking up"? I suppose that, if Folgers is the only way to get rid of the undead sea-sun people, then it might STILL be the best part of waking up. But I agree that a belt-fed weapon would be a more fun way to dispatch them.

Folgers In The Sky With Diam0nds!

I promise to boycott any network that allows that commercial to air. That's not an idle threat, because I'll be quick to the trigger as soon as that little diddy begins to play. The visitors to Club Gitmo ought to sit through a couple of screenings.

Thank God I'm not a coffee drinker, anyway...

Obviously, one of the ad agency staff is a fan of "The Polyphonic Spree". Saw them opne for David Bowie. His advice was not to drink their Kool-Aid.

Hmmm I think I need to get a haircut today. *Doo du dee dum*
