Mad Cows in California? (New Ad Campaign?)

The news says there has been a confirmed case of mad cow in California. So there are mad cows in California? I thought only happy cows were in California! The ads said so! Were they, perhaps (Gasp!) exaggerating the mood of the cows here? Oh, the bovinity!

Oh, but wait. Perhaps this can be turned to our advantage somehow! I believe that “happy cows” campaign for California cheese is over now, as I haven’t seen any of them running for a little while at this point. So what they could do is this: There could be a new ad for California cheese where they say: “We told you before that happy cows come from California, and that happy cows from California make California cheese. Oh, but you must not be buying enough California cheese, because the cows in California are starting to get mad! And you know what that means! If you don’t go out and buy more California cheese, these mad cows are going to come after you! So quick: buy California cheese right now! Save yourselves! Otherwise, it will look like ‘the running of the bulls’ in your town: only with cows stampeding everyone instead of bulls!”

Here’s the sad cow story:
