I don't know how many of you have seen this, I would assume most have, but I was watching TV last night and I saw a commercial for Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Now for those who have seen these commercials, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about, but for those who haven't, it's basically pieces of cereal eating each other (because the brand wants you to believe that "it's just that good!"...yeah, whatever, I remember getting sick after eating them in like 3rd grade. ) Anyway, so the cereal pieces are eating each other, and I'm sitting there thinking to myself, "You know, this kind of promotes cannibalism in a humorous way." Of course, thinking about cannibalism coupled with humor reminded me of a wall worthy quote that one of my good friends once said, and I just thought that now would be a good time to share it with everyone.
We were sitting in 6th period study/do nothing hall and Nick Holmes was talking about his TCC English class, (for which, I swear, people are still asking me about the homework) and he all of a sudden says, "Cannibalism: Funny."
Now, I was only half listening so I don't actually know what the context of the quote really was, but I do remember turning around in the my seat and laughing hysterically at Nick's dead serious face. Someone who was actually in that TCC class may understand where the funny cannibalism quote is coming from or what is has to do with, but I think that me not knowing why he was saying it made it even funnier.
The point of me saying all of this is, of course: 1. to highlight yet another hilarious quote that was produced during my senior year and 2. to make you think of this quote the next time you're watching TV and you see a food that is advertised using cannibalism.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't find a commercial for Cinnamon Toast Crunch funny at all. I would probably find it sickening (as I mentioned earlier, 3rd grade, hate the stuff) and would want to change the channel. Now, however, when I see it come on, I think of Nick and his funny cannibalism quote and it makes me laugh and think about all the funny memories from this past year.
I know it's been a long time since anyone posted on this blog, but I have my folder of quotes out and I'm working on them, so keep following and I'll post on facebook when I write a new entry!
