"So ladies, just relax; someday your prince is gonna come and he's gonna bring a fun product and when he does you'll live happily ever after!" —Sarah Haskins What products is Sarah Haskins of Target Women talking about? Oh, you know—cream cheese, frozen rolls, milk. The things women love! Or the things advertisers want women to love. Same difference. Watch the video after the jump....

As I like to say, the only cheese worth buying is the one with its leaves still attached. Farmers' market specialties brought to you by The Onion....

"God gave us dominion over the animals. Okay? If we can get 50,000 of them in one spot, why shouldn't we?" —Stephen Colbert In Stephen Colbert's interview with Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation and co-producer of upcoming documentary Food, Inc., Schlosser lays down the problems with factory farming and genetically modified corn as Colbert tries to derail him by pointing out that "fecal material" is poop and thinking about the superpowers he could get from corn. And so much more! Watch the video after the jump....

The hyperactivity-and-catchy-theme-song-laced formula for a kid's toy commercial can make those little tykes want anything—even Meat Heroes, the only toy made out of 100 percent Angus beef. Collect them all—Captain Jerry, Danger Mike, Tech Support Bill, Watchdog Eric, and Evil Meat Sorcerer—and you can have seconds (almost a minute, even) of fun before the meat disintegrates in your hands! Watch the video after the jump....

The Sham Wow, the shammy-towel-sponge wonder, should watch its back. The paper towel also has many skills. Crumple it up into a ball, throw it into the air, and it will fall down (fall down!). Fold a paper towel up into a vaguely diamond shape, put a string on it, it's a kite. You can even rip them into craploads of squares. Looks like Vince of Sham Wow/Slap Chop has a little protege. The video, after the jump....

Two Paulas in one video? Yes, I too am mildly frightened. Comedic actress Melanie Hutsell recently guest starred on Paula Deen's Paula's Best Dishes while putting on her best Paula Deen impersonation...and cooking alongside Paula. In a similar outfit. If I just listen to the audio and don't watch the video, I don't know who I'm hearing. Not until I get to the recipe for a chocolate-covered stick of butter, at least—even that's a little too far for the real Paula. Watch the video after the jump....

There are movers and shakers in the food world that don't always get proper praise. The person carving baby carrots from the giant orange hunks that grow in the ground. The fro-yo nozzle engineer. And the great mind behind the giant taco salad, perhaps the only "salad" that may set you back 12,000 calories. I didn't realize this was a Bud Light commercial until the very end—it made me want a pound of guacamole, beans, and shredded cheese (and a few lettuce slivers, sure) more than a beer. The video, after the jump....

If factory-farmed chickens could talk, what would they say? "I feel all bloaty," might just be one of many complaints. Foster Farms says no to plumping in their commercial depicting concerned Foster Farms chickens being overplumped with salt water by a shady plastic surgeon. The Washington Post's blog All We Can Eat has more information about this campaign. Watch the video after the jump....

"I left my jelly babies in the TARDIS.... They're a delicacy I discovered on Earth." Yesterday, we briefly mentioned how the Beatles did not like having candy jelly babies thrown at them while on stage. While poking around YouTube looking at jelly baby experiment videos, I found an awesome compilation of every jelly baby scene in Doctor Who. Along with his out-of-control curly hair and extraloooong scarf, one of the signature quirks of the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) was his love for jelly babies. He offered them to everyone and anyone, including his archenemy and Dalek-creator, Davros. And there's a memorable bit at 4:16 in which the Doctor tries a bluff, telling some primitive-looking warriors, "Now drop your weapons, or...
