Fantastic Four find another way to be annoying

From SHH, "Saving the world with superhuman powers is no easy task. But the Fantastic Four know that choosing milk over sugary drinks can help provide protein to help build muscle and some studies suggest milk drinkers tend to be leaner. In conjunction with the launch of the movie, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the quartet appears in the latest National Milk Mustache "got milk?" Campaign that promotes the health benefits of drinking milk. They join such stars as Beyonce and David Beckham in the 'Body by Milk' campaign, which encourages teens to stay healthy by drinking 3 glasses of lowfat or fat free milk everyday."

That stupid milk mustache gag has got to be the most annoying, longest lasting ad campaign in the history of advertising. I always think "wipe that damn milk off your face, you look like a damn fool".

It just never gets old for those milk bastards, does it?

Setting: Milk Boardroom Meeting. A collection of assholes sit around a table, each with a glass of milk in front of them.

Head Milk Asshole: Ok guys, we need a fresh new idea to promote the benefits of milk.

Rookie Milk Asshole: How about one of those milk mustache gags? Those are always hilarious!

HMA: Great idea Johnson! But we've already done one with the Olsen Twins, David Beckham, Beyonce, Madonna, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, President Bush, and Dave Matthews. How can we top that?

RMA: How about taking the idea and turning it on its side - like with a fictional movie character!

HMA: I like it... I like it a lot. But we've already done Yoda, Wallace and Gromit, the Hulk and Superman. Where can we go now?

RMA: How 'bout the Fantastic 4?

HMA: Johnson, you're a genius.

I love the detail that all those guys have a glass of milk in front of them. The end of the scene could be the one dude who finally screams he’s sick of milk and is then never seen again.

When I saw this post I thought “we’re seeing Mr. F. stretch more in this still than we did in the whole first movie,” but looking closer I realized something else: I think I hate Ioan Gruffudd. I’ve been spending all this time making fun of his name, but look at that stupid expression on his face! Lame! I’m starting to think he’s a worse choice than Alba.

Agreed, Loan Gruffud is awful and a poor choice for Mr. Fantastic. He looks like an actor who hasn't quite grasped the concept that the earth revolves around the sun. There's just no way that guy is a brilliant scientist.
