Did You Ever Notice?
Thursday, October 5th, 2006 at 8:05 pmIt just dawned on me after decades of watching Lucky protect his pot-of-gold cereal that those dirty, thieving, obviously-strung-out-on-sugary-oats kids are always trying to steal his property. WTF? All the kids look healthy and well-dressed. Get your parents to buy you some Lucky Charms, you little bitches.
I bet Lucky thanks his orange stars every time he gets away.

Lucky Charms commercials are just an allegory for all the Limey bastards who have tried to steal land from the Irish for centuries! Its obvious! The English had plenty just like those bratty kids but noooooo they couldn’t be satisfied with “just plenty”. So they had to steal from the happy go lucky Irish over there just mindin’ their own business. Unfortunately in real life the Irish never got a chance to thank their lucky stars, they just get drunk and write about sad shit a lot.
Why an American company would chose to use a century-long bloodshed to sell breakfast cereal confounds me though.

We call the kids stealing his charms Republicans. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. It’s a cleverly subversive protest against the money grabbers, who will take until there’s nothing left to take, unless of course they need your kidney, then they’ll take that, too, and leave you to wake up in a tub of ice! I’ve read it on the internet, it must be true!
Of course, Lucky is gay, too, so it’s also a demonstration of how those who fit in bash those of us who don’t.
I sense a book is needed to explore this. I wonder if I can get a grant to cover my expenses?

I purposely didn’t write a bunch of stuff I was trying to flesh out so you guys would have a chance to write your own jokes.
I wasn’t disappointed. :)

Ooo! I also found out that Lucky Charms is NOT sold in Ireland for some reason.

Are you kidding me? The Irish would laugh their asses off at it. The whole idea of leprachauns, shamrocks, rainbows, and other cheesy “Irishisms” is very American actually. For example, St. Patricks day is really a religious holiday over there. They still get completely drunk, but sans the strobing green “Kiss me I’m Irish” buttons.
Although I did see a cereal there that said “Crunchy nut…it’s LUDICROUSLY tasty!”
