Innocently browsing for Greek yogurt coupons while also eating Oikos yogurt — delicious in spite of the use of papyrus in their logo — I happened upon their
Facebook page, which has erupted in scandal.
Oikos (parent company is Dannon) ran a Super Bowl ad yesterday featuring John Stamos, in which a coy, flirty couple feed each other yogurt at the kitchen table. But wait! Stamos doesn't really want to share — he wants all the 'gurt to himself. Girl gets mad, and BAM! — she head-butts him. People now are outraged for two reasons: First, because the commercial uses a song eerily like the John Butler Trio's "Zebra"; and second, because the commercial "promotes violence." I remember viewing the commercial during the game, but only because it sparked exclamations like, "JOHN STAMOS LOOKS THE SAME AS HE LOOKED ON FULL HOUSE — HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?"
