Abortion vs. Mentos

mentos- 1. abortion-0



Okay, so I'm visiting a friend at her swanky new condo along with a few of her girlfriends and things are going pretty well as we yapped about various subjects, discussed what was wrong with the world and how we would change things if we were in charge. Well, they mostly talked about that crap, I was more interested in her 42 inch High Definition Television, complete with a custom made surround sound system.

A couple hours into it, the subject of abortion comes up. Now this is number one on the top 5 list of sure fire ways to turn a decent discussion into an ugly no holds barred melee. Well, sense all these chicks were pro-choice, I didn't think it would escalate into anything nasty. WRONG.
One of them says that although she supports a woman's right to have an abortion, she would never have one since she couldn't live with the fact that she had killed a living being inside her.

Now this amazed me for two reasons. Number one, all the pro-choicers I've known have NEVER referred to it as killing a living being. It's usually referred to as just an abortion or a procedure, etc, but never murder. That's Pro-Life talk after all!
Number two, pro-choicers never make any reference to a "living being" at all. They usually use the word "it" or some other euphemism that doesn't sound so... human.

Anyway, this woman broke all the rules with her shocking revelation and sure enough the other pounced on her like a pack of McCarthian wolves questioning her on whether was really pro-choice and where her true loyaties lay.
I've got to hand it to the woman though, she didn't back down and held her own despite the odds.

Anyway, it was starting to get ugly and I knew it was only a matter of time before they drug me into it so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I calmly stood up and told them I had something important that needed answered right away.
All the women stopped yapping and sat in silence, staring at me, waiting for my question.
My question was this:
"What's up with the new Mentos commercial with those damn birds?? I prefer the old school commercials with the goofy European kids. What do you guys think??"

At first the women were stunned, then they laughed and the next thing we know we're getting into a debate about which Mentos commercials were the best and we tried to find out what song those fucking birds were singing. The abortion thing was long forgotten thanks to a nasty tasting mint called MENTOS.

Ah, Mentos... is there anything you can't do?


Oh yeah, the name of the song is called "No Limit".
