Nutrition advocacy groups like the CSPI (Center for Science in the Public Interest) have been protesting the Kellogg company to stop airing a recent TV ad campaign that defames the reputation of apples. Their new character, simply called "bad apple," is a coarse jerk who doesn't look appetizing at all. He's mean and ruthless, beaten by life and going nowhere fast. He'll do anything to get at a bowl of Apple Jacks before "CinnaMon," the friendly reggae-tinged cinnamon stick gets to it. For obvious reasons, advocacy groups don't want kids to stop eating apples. Especially in favor of sugary breakfast cereal. I hope they keep it on the air though, that "CinnaMon" is just so damn likeable. You just want to lick its body and listen to Peter Tosh on headphones.Outrage Over Kellogg's "Bad Apple"
