What's the buzz?

Recently, something has been bothering me. Do you recognize this image?

Somehow, this bee, this GIANT bee is supposed to make me want to buy allergy medicine. I guess that the ad campaign has failed. It actually makes me feel like buying cans of Raid, large hammers, atomic weapons, etc. You see, I dislike insects. I really don't like them at all. Funny thing is, that doesn't stop my amazing and ever-lovely wife from assigning all indoor insect execution duties to me. Idlegrass.

Supporting anecdote time: At a fair a few years back, there was a bug guy. This guy was seriously into bugs, even going so far as to have a customized talking Volkswagon with him. As you know by now, I like bugs as much as I like, say, Adolf Hitler. Still, my curious daughter went up to the bug guy to see what he had. My courageous daughter ended up holding a cockroach the size of a small dog. As the bug guy explained how rare and endangered this particular multi-legged horror was, it was all I could do not to knock the demonic thing out of my daughters hand and annihilate it with my generously-sized sneaker. The bug guy was soooo right about it being endangered!

Anyway, where was I?

OK, now I remember.

Not only is this bee HUGE, but it TALKS! WITH A LATINO ACCENT!! WHY? WHY? WHY?

More questions:

• Why is no-one scared of this monster? In one of the ads, a happy couple is watching sports on TV while this thing is flying around the room! Come on, not only is this a flying insect with armament, look closely, IT HAS TEETH!
• What has this creature got to do with allergies?
• Will it help if you are stung by a bee and go into anaphylactic shock?
• Why a latino accent?

BTW, Antonio Banderas is the voice behind the bee. From movies such as The Legend of Zorro and Shrek 2 to the Nasonex bee. Sad, sad.

I myself suffer, to some extent, from allergies. But if that thing ever comes near me, it won't be pretty.

Bee warned.
