Ignorance is Tastier

Don't read ingredients labels. Or this could happen to you.

Yes, I do all my own stunts.

bwahahaha. I love that after all these years, I can still dare you to do stupid stunts and you'll do them.

Thank you for making my day...again.

HaHaHaHa! When the ingredients in our pets' food is more clear than what we eat, there's definitely a problem.

Oh. man. Hilarious!

July 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBoston Mamas

Awesomeness. And I do believe you have a good Anderson Cooper hairdo going.

July 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMidLifeMama

ha! that is sooooo true!

July 15, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterapril

BusyDad,

I say that all the time. I noticed that dog food is more regulated than the food people give their kids. And you just nailed it. YES! People wont believe the effects of Fructose until it's on TMZ!

Thanks for That,

Romany

DO YOU KISS YOUR WIFE WITH THAT MOUTH?

Ewww, just ewwww.

July 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMr Lady

Ohhh Busy Dad....that just made my day and night. Now I can say, one of my friends ate dog food, video'ed it, and it's on the interwebs. Hilarious....

Perfect! LMAO! Loved the music! I couldn't agree more with the premise. We breastfeed (well I don't my moobs don't have milk) our children and then we feed them processed crap cause we have a coupon.

July 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterDadStreet

dude this was so funny! and very true. the music was great!

July 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterGus Delgado

Perfection!! Thanks for this -and the music was a great choice. How many takes did you have when you were eating it? I wouldn't have been able to film you without laughing or screaming. I'm conspiring with Lolita right now for your next video. Hehehehehehe! For the record: all three of my boys have eaten our dog's food when they were little. We finally gave up trying to stop them.

July 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterEileen

Pretty sad when your dog eats healthier than you, huh?

Did it reaaaallly taste better? Or did you have to wash it down with a Jack & Coke?

July 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAshlie- Mommycosm

Ha- love it!

July 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBecky

Dude. that was totally perfect. Hilarious. Funny thing .. when I look for my dog's food I make sure its got all the right ingredients but when I shop for myself .. oh heck .. preservatives all the way! Woo Hoo! nice vid. great music. i laughed and gagged a little. awesome.

July 15, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterauntie julia

Yeah, sad, but true (and thank you for doing it in a hilarious fashion!). Right now I'm on a kick to try and get all natural hair/face/body products for my family. So much harder than you would think!

July 15, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKrista

You know you're going to get worms now, right?

July 16, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertom

You totally crack me up. And the music for that video is a brilliant touch.

July 16, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMommyTime

Jim,
You may give your hongbao to Crypto, I will send you something from the Petco.

Love, mom

July 17, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermom

I can't believe you did that! AWESOME.

Your hair is looking dope, I'm digging it.

July 18, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterZak

Lol mom's comment!!! hahahaha
poor krypto and bj, I hope you didn't give them those gross hot dogs.
Thanks for making my breakfast come back up...elgh!
maybe you should read my cat food label.
Do I hear Part II?

July 19, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterauntie mei

cocoa puffs! Those were cocoa puffs. And that thing on the side of the road WAS TOO a large carpet scrap that fell out of the back of a truck.

July 19, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertraci

I bet if you put some HFCS-free ketchup on those babies they'd taste just fine. Or maybe not.

I'll stick to the nitrates.

Amazing. Our pets are eating healthier than we are.

July 28, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterFrugal Baby

Hilarious! I'd never be able to pull that off.

July 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTJ

I'm with Traci. They were Cocoa puffs. You cannot fool this girl. And I'm off to eat a hot dog as I type this...
