It seems to me that way too many people now days have no sense of humor what so ever and take themselves and their pet causes and issues way too seriously.

Last year I was driving home from work and listening to a local AM radio station late afternoon call in show.

I don’t recall what the topic of the show that afternoon was, or even if there was one, but a caller called in and started railing against a certain Gieco commercial airing at the time.

The caller was going off and railing on how offensive this commercial was to him personally as he was a farmer and how he “felt” like the commercial was belittling and making fun of farmers, implying that the commercial and Gieco was implying that all farmers were stupid and couldn’t spell.

At first I was laughing, thinking the caller was joking, but he wasn’t, he was very serious and even the host of the show started agreeing with him and calling for a boycott of Gieco because evidently Gieco because of this commercial, hates farmers.

The commercial in question:

Maybe the caller was old and his surname was McDonald and perhaps he had some form of dyslexia and had trouble spelling “Cow” without adding the “e.i.e.i.o” at the end. /s
