From the Time-to-Buy-a-Dictionary Dept., concerning a new ad for Metamucil:

The National Park Service is fuming over a commercial in which a park ranger pours a glass of Metamucil into Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park to help the geyser stay regular.

Park Service officials scoff at the notion the famous geyser would ever need help, and point out the damage that can be caused by dumping things into the park's thermal features — not to mention that venturing near geysers and hot springs is often very dangerous.

"It suggests that it's OK to pour some substance into a thermal feature," Park Service spokesman Al Nash said. "We've spent decades trying to educate visitors about the fact that it's harmful to the feature and that it's dangerous for anyone to take an action like that."

Metamucil's manufacturer, Procter & Gamble Co., suggests Old Faithful's guardians lighten up a bit.

"It was pretty over the top," said Greg Allgood, associate director of the company's Health Sciences Institute. "Anybody would get it. It was a joke."

Allgood has proposed resolving the dispute by adding subtext to the commercial that says all Yellowstone visitors should obey the park rules.

So... they now hint that the man is gay? Why would that make the Park Service happy?
