Gingerbread never sounded so gross

There is a new commercial for Shrek 3 on HD DVD that I find very disturbing. In it "Gingy" the gingerbread man character from the Shrek movies is calling some executives to complain about the new HD DVD veresion of Shrek 3. He says that the Hi Def picture makes him look too good and he wants to take a nibble. Gross. Then we hear a crunch followed by "Ow", and another crunch followed by "Ow, yummy." Gross and creepy. At least the executives have the decency to look a little sickened by the whole idea of a cookie man eating himself, but over all the whole commercial is in bad taste. Pun intended.

I'm not an idiot - I know he is a cookie and as such is an edicle taste treat. If the commerical featured him complaining that everywhere he went people waned to taste him because he looks so delicious in HD I would think it was great. But cookie or not, biting into yourself is creepy, not funny. The one featuring Donkey complaining that his dragon wife doesn't like how scaly she looks in Hi Def - great!
