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!”
