I'm powerless to do anything but change the channel when they come on. I'm a cold-hearted prick, but these commercials sickeningly melt my heart faster than a cocaine ice cube in front of Charlie Sheen. You're not likely to see a more sensationalist commercial on television, short of the ones where the driver takes a single puff off a joint, thereby forcing him to commit genocide.
The recipe for all ASPCA commercials:
- Slow fade in while playing shitty sentimental music; most notably from Sarah McLachlan.
- Slow pan-ins on slowed videos of dogs with sad faces, dogs with missing eyes, cats in iron-lungs, dogs on fire, etc.
- Voice over that keeps driving the point home that all animals that aren't yours are unloved and need $18 a month otherwise they risk immediate death.
- Repeat for at least 3 minutes.

Even hardened terrorists crumble in the wake of ASPCA commericals |
In case the standard depressing-as-shit images in their commercials don't bring in enough case, I've made a few that should help kick things up a few notches.

For a mere $75 a week, plus tax, title, registration, you can prevent alpacas from being lowered into toxic vats |
