Unhappy Oh Yeaahh?

Just wondering....

Why is it that some marketing asshat decided to put pants on the Kool-Aid guy?

This is the way he is supposed to look:



So why in all the latest commercials is he sporting pants and even a shirt?

See Kraft's site http://www.kraftfoods.com/koolaid/ka_main.html

That's just plain wrong... and pointless. Why ruin an icon?

My guess is to make it more "kid friendly" rather than looking like a large, blood-filled boil running around breaking through walls...

You know what else is weird? Why would any kids want to drink some KoolAid after he went and broke through the wall? I mean with all that sheet rock, insulation, brick/mortar, and wood,; you would think some of it would fall into that gaping head of his, ya know?

Edit: Nerdz!!!! Please shrink that pic.

Who? I just remember thinking that back in the early 80s, around the time President Reagan got shot.

I always wondered if that little pitcher he's holding is like a Kool-Aid Mini-Me or if that's just a jug full of his feces he's swinging around.
