The Skittles Touch
In this tragicomic commercial for Skittles, a man is asked by his coworker to demonstrate how everything he touches turns to Skittles. Kinda awesome, right? Not so, my friend.
A soliloquy of Shakespearean proportions follows, as the forlorn fellow relates how the "Skittles touch" keeps him from holding his son, dressing himself... and how it resulted in a most unfortunate fate for a man he met on the bus. Talk about bringing a new meaning to the word "bittersweet."
But seriously, though -- all the Skittles you could ever want, any time you want them? That's pretty cool. Plus, I can think of a few people I'd like to lay the Skittle mojo on.
Still. Those Skittle marketing dudes are effed up.
