“The Jordan Ad openly promotes engaging in vigorous physical activity while suffering from a very high fever, in Jordan’s case 103 degrees,” the institute said in a letter dated May 8 to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

No, what it promotes is hard fucking work. You know, sometimes people have to put in just a little more effort to succeed, regardless of circumstance. But no, let's just take the literal, panty-waste interpretation of the commercial.

Ignorance never ceases to amaze. I'm going to run a marathon next time I get the flu, then come home and squat 600 pounds.

I think we all know by now that it wasn't "flu" that kept Jordan up the night before.

How come the health orginization didn't pull the Pepsi company's commercial off of broadcasts with footage of Michael Jackson getting his hair fried off, but wants to ban the Pepsi company's Gaterade Jordan commericals? :dunno:
Kids were fooled into buying Pepsi thinking that if you drink there products that you can set your hair on fire and still be invincable.

Imagine how many stupid people will risk their health by drinking Gatorade while being ill. If the ads can't influence so many people then there is no reason to have them. Sad for humanity they influence so many people so I am with the Health Group here. Completely stupid ad.

Just goes to show that the human race is worryingly stupid. People are becoming increasingly easily influenced.

The type of people who NEED that sticker on a hair drier saying "do not use in shower".

Morons.

In my country 7% morons voted for a nazi party who want to abolish democracy because of ads. They used the economical crisis and that nobody can stop it but them and people believed that they want OR can save the economy by ιmposing a dictatorship. Now we have some fascist monkeys in our parliament most of them are suspects for immigrant murders. It makes you wonder how stupid people can be.

I'm Greek too and I got to say, I'm completely with you here.
This "political party"-they are actually a criminal organisation, not politicians-should never be in the parliament. They are beating, let alone killing, immigrants every day, yet 7% of our country voted for them.:obama:

Just noticed though, we are getting a little off topic.:D
