Why doesn't the Nasonex bee have any wings?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

I just now noticed this.

1. Someone mentioned that around here the other day

so I paid attention the next time I saw one of those ads. And it's really disconcerting seeing it just "float" around without wings. Who's marketing decision was that to clip its wings? It's really annoying and bizarre.

2. Psst...it's not a real bee.

Just an actor paid to look like one. :)

3. WHAT?? NOOOOO!!!!

4. the Killer Bees on SNL had no wings, either

Maybe the Nasonex bee's wings are just moving too fast to see?

5. Wings? We don' need no stinking wings!!! ... n/t

6. They were ground up to make Nasonex.

Now, it shills for them so they won't go after it's queen.

7. But how does he fly?

That's what bothers me. He flits around with no wings. That's just wrong.

8. Strings cruely attached to his back.

They edit them out with CGI. His pleasant demeanor is hiding a macabre horror show.

Apparently, DU thinks that response was so good it had to post it twice.

10. So let me get this straight...

You were on board with the bee talking and having blue eyes and teeth, but the bee not having wings has thrown doubt upon the whole enterprise? Is that what you're saying?

11. He forgot to drink his daily Red Bull?

15. 'Cause Red Bull tastes like shit. n/t

16. It's one of those

side effects in small print at the end of the commercial.

[Fire Walk With Me]

17. WHAT? I never noticed that.

:scared:

18. At least he can land, unlike the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket:

"Dude, you gave him arms but no legs"

19. Because the active ingredient in Nsonex

made them fall off!
