7 Thoughts about this Old School Mickey Mantle Post Cereal Ad

Here is a old school commercial starring #7 Mickey Mantle. If I could go back in a time with this guy, one of the things I would have to do after giving myself some wise investment advice and warning the authorities at Logan Airport in September of 2001, would be to go back to the 50's and watch The Mick rip some dingers. Did you know that he hit .353 with 52 homers and 130 RBI's in 1956? Talk about your #1 Fantasy picks, shiiiiiiit. There are 6 things about this video I want to comment on. So please take a minute out of you precious life to watch it first or this will read more like incessant babbling than it already is.

1) This little girl goes "lets go swimming" and the boy responds by saying "not in your life". Kid, you live on the fuckin beach, your obviously gonna want to go swimming with this whiny girl at some point, probably when your grow some pubic hair if not sooner. Besides, that comeback is so whack anyway.

2) This kid sounds like an old man. I don't think that kids ever spoke like that, even in the 50's. "You get as many as 7 trading cards on every Post cereal package" Have you ever heard some kid mutter the words "cereal package?" What a load of malarchy.

3) Why is this girl being so nice to this shitbag after he declined her request to go swimming. She should of said something like, "Go F yourself and what the F--K are you doing with my Fruity Pebbles anyway"

4) I am pretty sure this girl is schizophrenic and the kid calls her out on it. I guess they said "your goofy" back then as opposed to now where they would say, "You must have raided your mentally imbalanced mothers medicine cabinet before to think a cut off portion of a cereal box just spoke to you"

5) The term "rundown" was used twice in 30 seconds to describe a players stats. Just sayin'.

6) The boy goes "why don't you have your own mother buy you your own Post cereals and get your own trading cards" Not once did the girl ask, request, or make any inference at all that she wanted any food or trading cards. Yet the boy thinks that she was looking to get a piece of the action.

7) To me, this whole exchange was just a lame attempt at this girl kissing up to this boy so he would go swimming later with her later on.

I'm about to buy me some Honey-Smacks.

Salute to BronxBanter for the Video Find.
