Snickering

Ooh. I don't know, Snickers people. Sounds like an wince-inducing combination of:

Hunger + Vasectomy = Hungerectomy

Fortunately, a Hungerectomy is 90% reversible.

UPDATE: Hang on to your breeches. People have been commenting on this Snickers ad campaign, for all of 2006.

But the candy people didn't stop with the wincing Hungerectomy, oh no.

It's gone up in the US the last 2 weeks and plays with their logo, ingredients and "hungry" positioning using made-up words like Hungerectomy, Nougatocity, Substantialicious, Satisfectellent and Peanutopolis. And they were brave enough to not put Snickers branding anywhere - to assume that people could figure it out.

Interestingly, others have their own takes about Hungerectomy, as I did.

One blogger thought it looked vaguely familiar.

Am i the only one that thinks it looks like "HUNG-ERECT-O-MY?"
