Measure For Measure

There's a new TV commercial on my list of all-time worst. A slightly plump woman is at the kitchen table with her young son, who's refusing to finish his dinner. The husband, standing behind them, tells the son, "eat your vegetables or we're not going to Baskin and Robbins for an Oreo cookie sundae." The husband turns away and the mother grabs the boy's plate and starts gobbling the peas and carrots greedily. It's disgusting stuff. On the evening news this was followed soon after by a story about the increase in diabetes due to obesity. I guess it has something to do with the equal time law.
