    Starbust Candy Contradiction

    Is it really wrong to find this advertisement so funny? It at least has a kilt in it.

    Well it was shot in front of Dunderave castle, the ancestral home of the MacNaughtons. My Clan! Of course the castle now belongs to an american eye surgeon.

    I think it was meant to be more satirical with irony than to be taken literally. It falls back on typical american humor. Ifound it funny from the Scot/Korean to the Albino/lifeguard, things that arent often seen as you have pointed out.

    Yes, I got a chuckle out of these, as well as the others with the screaming mime, and the low-energy cheerleader.

    Hey, I really like the guy's tartan--muted and in earth tones. Anybody know what tartan that is? I would like to get me some....

    I didn't think there could be anything more annoying than a mime. I see I was wrong.
