Come squirt with me

Sean sent me some interesting thoughts about the latest Hasbro debacle with their Oozinator.

As you'll see from the commercial, it doesn't take much imagination at all to make the link between the soaky gooey liquid being ejaculated by the Oozinator and another soaky gooey liquid of coincidentally the same look, feel, color, texture (too much information I know)

Adrants had this to say and Words+Pictures put it into words and pictures.

Sean wonders if there's been a complete brand disconnect between client and agency side? How could the client have let this happen? Did the agency pull a fast one (premature creation?) on their client "as some sick joke"? Does this warrent/call for "business prevention units" to catch these types of glaringly embarrassing stains (sorry, couldn't resist) on the brand and company images?

I'll discuss this on next week's Across the Sound...for now I'll say that there are multiple culprits and therefore multiple parties who will need to be held accountable. That said, to play devil's advocate....are the sick old folk (that would be you and me) reading too much into a kid's toy? How about we ask the pervs on MySpace...
