Un-American Cheese (Joke Ad for American Cheese)

In this joke ad for some brand of American cheese, the announcer would claim that any cheese that is not American Cheese is, in fact, Un-American Cheese, if not outright Anti-American Cheese, and anyone who eats it is a traitor and an enemy of freedom. And to show how serious this threat of cheesy treason is, we see a new Congressional committee, the House Un-American Cheese Activities Committee, and they grill American citizens over eating non-American cheeses, demanding they name the names of other Un-American cheeses that either they have, or they’ve seen other people, eat. And so the committee serves to intimidate everyone into eating only patriotic, liberty-flavored American cheese!

(This is the only way I can think of to get most of the adults I know to be willing to eat American cheese: threaten them with charges of treason and accuse them of being unpatriotic in their cheese-related activities. But their kids just love American cheese.)
