Pepto Abysmal

I am not thrilled with the Pepto Bismol commercials lately. The theme song they have used for a few years was tolerable – it was certainly a catchy way to discuss a distasteful subject. But now they have started airing commercials of “auditions,” featuring less than talented performers. I’m not really interested in hearing people who can’t carry a tune, and in many cases barely speak English, sing about intestinal maladies. Maybe they’re just trying to make us sick so we’ll buy more Pepto.
