The talking cow in this ad is freaking me out.
The ear rings, the devilish features?
The voice?  I hate it.

I hate the voice more than I hate the red cow wearing the cheese-wheel earrings.  That young woman, goody-goody shopping girl voice (that's the only way I know to describe it) is an instant hate for me!  They use it on the department stores and other food commercials they want to target to women.  I Angry Evil Smile it!

I ditto....only part I hate is the voice.  The color, the earrings, at least attention getting and kinda cute.

It sounds like a mix of vocal fry, valley girl, and excessive emphasis on certain words. It's basically one of the most contrived voices I've ever heard in a commercial. Some marketing person really dialed the feminine stereotypes up to 11.

Ever seen the movie "The Wishmaster" or its many sequels? That exactly the thing this commercial reminds me of. A f*cking anthropomorphic red cow "granting one's every wish" of weight loss...Yeah. Too good to be true. Also very f*cking unnerving.

I'm bothered less by the cow's appearance AND voice, than I am with the unnecessary judging of other snack foods.

What's wrong with chips? It's not a real snack unless I'm eating it slowly and I'm spreading something on it?

But it's their mandate to make other snack foods The Enemy.  Advertising....is war.

This wins the prize for esoteric distinctionsLOL!  I would never buy commercially packaged cheese altogether.

Is true...but we should try not to compromise objective standards re a lesser among pervading evils.
