California Milk Processor Board should not Pull Ad

Now this is a very humorous ad and the stiff necked people at baseball are just getting stupid.

The latest "Got Milk?" commercial hit a little too close to home for Major League Baseball. Poking fun at the leagues steroid scandal, the television ad for the California Milk Processor Board talks about a player getting pulled from a game "after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance."

In the next scene, a coach pulls a carton of milk from the slugger's locker.


Baseball is saying this crap about this ad:

"There is nothing humorous about steroid abuse," said Tim Brosnan, executive vice president for business for the league. "I would think that the California Milk Processor Board and their advertising agency would know better regarding an issue that threatens America's youth."

If it threatens Americas youth so much then why hasn't baseball come down harder on the people that abused steroids and still continue to do so. Rafael Palmeiro only got a 10 game suspension for his steroid use. His team had to cut him for bad press for him to feel the sting at all. Now they are getting all righteous about this ad making fun of this kind of thing.
