Terminix - my heroes for making sure that the world would be devoid of absolutely ALL life!

I really, really am grossed out by the Mentos gum commercial where the woman lifts up the guys nose & drinks his spit because the gum is so "mouth wateringly fresh."
I recently see they changed the ad by eliminating the gulping & water sounds & changed the tagline to "startlingly fresh" or something....ugh - startlingly stomach turning.
The terminex ad kind of makes it look like they're responsible for that lifeless landscape - like one of their guys went wild with his bug killer hose and poisoned the whole city.
In reality, if they're talking about radiation, most insects would survive, not just roaches. Those damn ladybugs are just biding their time, I know it!

<p align="justify">Even Terminix couldn't maintain a taqueria or mexican meat market free of cockroaches and flies. Hell, they already look like they've been through a nuclear holocaust and that's all that's left: tacos and roaches[}:)]
