It’s been about a decade since South Park truly offended anyone. But this subway ad, featuring a character from the show nervously awaiting “a giant red probe that’s about to be shoved up his backside,†has some riders of Toronto mass transit squirming in their own seats. For research purposes, we did a quick Google search for “anal probe†and “advertising,†and were not all that surprised to see a George Parker post about Saatchi & Saatchi come back as the top hit. George doesn’t ride Toronto subways that much, though, so he’s probably safe from the censors.

Talk about a schmear campaign. Ha ha! That’s a silly pun, but consider the inspiration: Kraft’s Bagel-fuls (not shown here), which are frozen bagel sticks with Philadelphia cream cheese wedged inside. Bagel sticks? Do the laws of physics permit such atrocities? Look, some things are better pre-filled. Pens come to mind. Jelly donuts. Any kind of donuts, really. Calzones. Hot Pockets. (Imagine an empty Hot Pocket. Not so great.) Bagels, however, have a hallowed tradition. The spreading of cream cheese, or one’s other favorite topping, is part of the ritual. If it’s good enough for Albert Einstein—or even Einstein Bros. Bagels—it’s good enough for me. (God, I could go for some Hot Pockets right now. And yes, I’ll eat all of them and leave the empty box in the lunch-room microwave. It’s my right!)
