I have just seen evidence that the world is ending. That’s right. I saw a commercial for high-fructose corn syrup.

Man complains of heat. Woman offers him a popsicle.
“No thanks,” says Man. “It has high-fructose corn syrup in it.”
“What’s wrong with that?” asks Woman, looking flirty and tempting.
“Well… um… hmm…” Man can’t think of the exact reason.
“What? That it’s made from corn? C’mon… it doesn’t have any more calories than honey.”

All of this was paid for the Corn Refiners Association… who aren’t biased at all…. who apparently feel that their beloved product needs some cultural rehabilitation.
