The arts, now part of a nutritious breakfast

Holy crap! Not only is Johannes Brahms the best Kool-Aid man ever, but his breakfast cereal makes you grow a beard. Who wouldn't fund the arts after seeing a commercial like this? The spot is part of an Ad Council campaign by Leo Burnett for Americans for the Arts. Another commercial, this one featuring Van Gogh, tries a little too hard with the Van Goghgurt pun, but the kid's reaction to the painting makes it work. It's odd that they chose a fruit loop like Van Gogh to push art on middle America, but he's still a more wholesome choice than someone like Caravaggio.
