Milk. For bones you can’t saw through.
 This ad, purportedly for a South African brand of milk, doesn’t skimp on the macabre humor. Guy gets stuck in bear trap; guy tries to free himself by sawing off foot (click here for larger version, and note saw marks on lower leg); guy fails to saw off foot due to incredibly strong, milk-fortified bones; guy dies and rots. What a pleasant story. If this ad ever ran, you’d think we’d have heard the backlash. Created by Grey South Africa, according to the credits over at Ads of the World.
