And yet the kids still don’t love it…

no i don't love the new milk song

OK, first of all, no. The new milk song is horrible. Just like the old milk song was horrible.

Second, your url, milkhiphop.ca– this alleged “milk song,” as you call it, is not hip hop. It is a style of girl pop that stopped being popular five years ago.

Third, thank you for your needless stab at exploitation, but no one is going to be using desktop wallpaper of your “Milk Girlz.” Why? Beacause your milk girls are vanilla. You’ve made them look like morons, and yet they’re still not that hot. If you’re going to be exploitative, at least get some cleavage in there.

Fourth, no one wants this for their ring tone. That was a waste of $0.75. I’m probably the only “user” who clicked your ad.

Fifth, is this supposed to be you, Milk industry, taking yourself tongue-in-cheek? Not working. It’s just embarrasing. I think you’re maybe generalizing your audience and therefore missing your connection entirely. Maybe try respecting them next time instead.

Sixth, this whole thing is just so Much Music, 2002, I don’t even know why I’m writing about it.

Seventh, to actually pull something like this off, you need to take some risks. But you, Milk people, also want to position yourself as the opposite of risky, isn’t that right? Not interested in irony. In total denial of the dirty underbelly of the milk industry. Well, you can’t have it both ways. Better close your eyes, pucker up and get comfy with “Big Bad Bessie’s” teats because at this rate, you’ll be sucking forever.

Wow, those Milk Girls really are lame! I personally hate the commercial and think that it is a poor attempt to get people to drink milk!

Have you seen the PETA add “milk gone wild”… lol… They would be a better slew of girls to have in the Milk advertisement… :) Check it out!

Ooh, I don’t know about that, Sarah. You’re the one who thought up “milk is the bombdizzle.” You’re taking me school with your titling skadillz.

[…] I’m not going to post a link, because it’s MacDonald’s and that’s what they want me to do, and I did not link to those dairy psychos when they tried to pull the same schtick. […]
