An ITC spokeswoman told Ananova: "We've had complaints from parents who say the advert has made their children too scared to use the bathroom. They think the eels will come out of the taps and the toilet.

What a nation of wimps they are raising over there. Although I guess we can't be to smug; the same thing is happening over here.

Even at a young age, there is a strong instinct to protect "the boys."

Reminds me of the time I saw a snake come out of a faucet in Thailand, bathrooms have never been the same since.

It's not electric but:

(in my best Dean Martin voice)
If it's long and it's green
and its bite makes you scream
That's a moray!

(Just wish I could find the music to it)

God Save America (Please)

Gee, the commercials are just getting too scary to watch. If I don't watch the commercials, then I can't very well watch the program or I'll be guilty of theft. What to do, what to do? I know, I'll just turn the damned thing OFF!

It's about time. Why should *I* have to be the only one afflicted with this terrible phobia?

I used to have a similar fear of using "out houses". As I matured I realized that no self respecting snake would live in that kind if s&i*!

The good news is the plumber fixed that blockage in the toilet drain. The bad news is about your cat...
