Yazoo's cows have a laugh a minute

It doesn't happen with meat, does it? We'd be uncomfortable with cutesy animals selling us steaks or hotdogs, on the understandable basis that we'd rather not be reminded of Daisy's lovable properties right at the moment we're chewing her corpse. I've seen cartoon chickens on late-night fast food joints, but when you stagger into one of those places you've long given up on your meal being fresh, clean or readily identifiable, never mind ethical. If anything, it's reassuring they know what animal it used to be.

Turn to dairy, though, and cows are apparently a selling point. They can be dancing round fields, kicking a football, stood on a diving board, whatever you like, as long as you reinforce that being a dairy cow is basically a hell of a good time. That's a lesson Yazoo learnt the hard way with their first, hastily withdrawn ad.
