Won't Block Your Arteries

Some product endorsements by athletes make sense. Michael Jordan doing ads for Nike and Gatorade we get. Peyton Manning showing up in every other commercial during a football game? He's a superstar and he's personable, so of course he's going to sell us everything from DirectTV to credit cards.

But Roberto Garza peddling "#1 in Nutrition" Super Buns? Even big name offensive linemen are pretty anonymous as far as pro athletes go. And he's not even that prominent a member of the Bears front line, so who within the marketing department decided that featuring Garza as a "Most Valuable Person" on its boxes of frozen breakfast treats would boost sales?

I mean ... look how fat and useless Garza is and he eats them. Shit, why shouldn't I? I mean, it says #1 in Nutrition right on the box! It has to be good for you!

Maybe his buns are stuffed full of...nutrition. Oh, man.

nice facial hair! those eyebrows are like artwork.

I stocked up on those. If Roberto Garza is on the box, the box is in my freezer!

Two for $5 is insulting!

Roberto Garza's mug is worth at least 2 for $6.

I'm writing Roberto Garza a check for $20 to make up for this travesty.

Someday I too hope to rise from my simple village and become a "Most Valuable Person" as well!

Via Con Dios, Senor Garza! Via Con Dios!

Those look even better than the Hunter Hillenmeyer pizza rolls I'm currently munching on.
