According to Cater's theory "The Biggest Loser" is a con, Kellogg's "Special K" is just a means to rip off the consumer and "Lite 'n Easy" is a scam.

He does really naughtyl things like swapping orders around at the local restaurant, and messing up people's clothes drawers - all in an attempt to bring chaos to the world!'<br /><br />Personally I believe Professor Chaos is modelled on Cory Benardi. The whole episode throws the Liberal philosophy and personality-clashes into sharp metaphorical relief, with a surreal under-motif of back-stabbing, conflict of religious ideology and philosophical ennui, representing the sad state of moral decline and lack of values in contemporary society.<br /><br />http://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/820/South-Park<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-30614086895294799252014-01-21T11:27:43.553+11:002014-01-21T11:27:43.553+11:00Speaking of the fresh food people, who can forget ...Speaking of the fresh food people, who can forget this?<br /><br />A claim cited by Woolworths that exposing children to alcohol advertising helps protect them from ''the seductive powers of capitalism'' smacks of desperation, one of Australia's top public health experts says.<br /><br />Woolworths owns the Dan Murphy's and BWS chains and is the nation's largest packaged liquor retailer.<br /><br />In a submission to Liverpool Council in support of a proposed Dan Murphy's store opposite a school at Moorebank, Woolworths cited advice by British psychology academic Adrian Furnham that ''early exposure to any form of advertising is vital to protect young minds against the seductive powers of capitalism''.<br /><br />It went on to back Professor Furnham's view that ''only if you show your children how the manufacturers are trying to woo them can they build a strong enough immunity to the sales pitch''.<br /><br />Woolworths was responding to criticism that advertising material at the store might encourage under-age drinking.<br /><br />Liverpool Council rejected the proposal, which was opposed by doctors, police and parents.
