CULTURE: No Runs, No Hits, No Sense Of Humor

Major League Baseball seems to be a bit of a whiny little bitch.

The latest "Got Milk?" commercial hit a little too close to home for Major League Baseball.

Poking fun at the sport's steroid scandal, the television ad for the California Milk Processor Board talks about a player getting pulled from a game "after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance."

In the next scene, a coach pulls a carton of milk from the slugger's locker.

"There is nothing humorous about steroid abuse," said Tim Brosnan, executive vice president for business for baseball. "I would think that the California Milk Processor Board and their advertising agency would know better regarding an issue that threatens America's youth."

Maybe if the league hadn't turned a blind eye to the rampant use of steroids for the past twenty years they wouldn't have their panties in such a bunch over a fucking milk commercial.

Word. It's shocking to me how poorly the stakeholders in this, understand the issue at all. It reminds me of Congress.

Anybody looked at what they feed dairy cows these days? I bet drinking milk WOULD make you test positive for steriods.

Wait, I'm thinking of beef cattle. They probably pump dairy cows full of estrogen.

Yeah, but I suspect if someone made a joke about putting additives in milk, they wouldn't be laughing quite so much. There's no such thing as a corporation with a sense of humor.

You don't (shouldn't) piss on peoples shoes, it's just rude and this seems more or less the same to me. The steroid thing is stupid anyway, alot of people take them and then stop the cycle in time to test steroid free before competitions/games.

He wasn't allowed to take it on the plane so everyone found out about it.

All pro sports people in any country take steriods at some point in there lives, I'm not saying I agree with it or its right but when the scandals broke in the states I remember living in England and growing up in Australia where it was all in the glass closet.... I could'nt believe how shocked Americans were.

Maybe he could have just said he was embarrassed by his real one's size and felt it necessery to whip out a prosthetic :p

Wish I could find the picture dammit! From South Park, season 8:

(With Mark McGwire, Jason Giambi, and Barry Bonds looking on)
Jimmy: "I know now, that even if you do win on steroids, you're really not winners. You're just a p-pussy; you're just a big fat p-p-pussy. And if you take steroids, the only decent thing to do is come forward and say, Remove me from the record books, because I am a big, stinky p-pussy, steroid taking jackass.'"
