Heinz has set up a cool site at Myheinz.com where you can actually personalize your very own bottle of Heinz ketchup or mustard. If you're not very creative, they also have some pre-selected messages for you to pick from, but I think it's more fun to come up with your own. Unfortunately, I had to create the picture on the right using MS Paint because the phrasing violates Heinz's terms and conditions (like, whatever). Apparently the idea of using condiments to threaten the lives of other people is a concept Heinz has yet to tap into. Yeah, well, someone else is going to take that idea and run with it and leave you in the dust, losers.

1. It's wrong when advertisers get "all crazy with their bad selves" and do something creative ... only to cut you off at the knees. I don't see anything wrong with your personalization. It's not like it says "I'm going to kill you with the ingredients in this bottle."
Mine would say, "Hollywood uses ketchup for blood. Guess what we use for ketchup ... bwahaha!" They probably wouldn't accept that either.
