I was on a thread I'd started at the TV Tropes Forum (Yack Fest) about bad commercials. My thread was about worlds you see inside commercials - as in, some of the weird narratives that commercial campaigns bring us. Specifically, I made a rant about the TV/Cable provider that has the commercials with those horrible freaky puppet-people.
Anyway, it turned into talk about infomercials, or, as TV Tropes likes to call it "Too Incompetent to Operate a Blanket." - Normal-looking people in them are so totally helpless, above and beyond any handicap or excuse. If you cannot crack an egg not because you have some kind of disability, but because you *don't know how to crack an egg* - nature is probably telling you to starve.
Anyway, someone on the site posted this little music video and I thought I'd share for your enjoyment:

So, what do you think about some of the weird alternate realities that TV commercials present to us?
I think those kids are being abusive to that poor rabbit and ought to just give him some Trix, already.
