They should have had a girl doing it. That would be funny.
See, but that's what pisses me off. If they had a girl doing it, with the EXACT same commercial, the FCC and whoever would be all over it like flies on shit.

Maybe it's just my Heterosexual self talking, but with a chick it would still be improper for TV, but it would be FUNNY. With a dude, it's just...wrong. I hope the actor got paid a sufficient sum of coin b/c this ad will live on in the intarwebz forever.

Young child: Um, DAD? Why is there this video of you trying to suck a phallus?
Dad: No, no, no! It was an antacid commercial! Hahahah! I was trying to show how foods I couldn't eat try to "stay away from me"...Um...so that I couldn't/shouldn't eat them.
Young child: Dad...you like men, don't you?
Wow...REALLY uncomfortable!
