A bizarre little commercial from Archie McPhee, oddball purveyor of oddball items.

You'll never think of those sodas you see at your local bodega in the same way again.

Good lord.
Is this ad real? Nah. (The "Got Milk" reference and amateur typography give it away.).
But could it be? Maybe so.

Apparently this ad from Hong Kong was banned for being insulting to Buddhism. (Gee, really?)
Wonder if that'd ever happen in the States?

Sadly, we have no video of the ad itself, but here's ADWEEK's writeup of M&Ms' Buddhist monk spot.
The ad, which came out a few years back, is actually striking, despite (or, because of?) the way it milks Tibetan Buddhism's exotic appeal.
