Since this thread has been thoroughly hijacked (I take most of the blame for that)... am I the only one who find the Lipton ad where jars commit suicide to be in extremely poor taste.
If you haven't seen it, or saw it in Arabic and didn't register, the plot is that now that Lipton tea bags come in foil packs, there is no need to keep them in jars. So the tea bag jars are all so sad, they crawl to the window sill and jump to their glassy deaths. I find it totally awful that you would either depict suicide (even of an inanimate object) in such a light hearted manner, or that you would use it TO SELL TEABAGS. It's totally screwed up.
