Have these people no shame?! What's next? "Nike drive to slash childhood obesity"?

(Umm, a few people unsubscribed from me shortly after I posted this video, so I just thought I should mention that it's a joke! I don't really feel that way!)

How is this at all Cynical? unless of course you are reffering to the modern misconception of Cynicism to mean either Dark depressing misanthropic, or someone who attacks others beliefs.

I was referring to the common usage of the word cynic (small 'c'), not the Greek philosophy. From Merriam-Webster: "one who believes that human conduct is motivated wholly by self-interest". I don't think it's right to call it a "modern misconception". The word has simply evolved a different meaning, as words often do.
