Can vitaminwater replace the flu shot? Advocacy group up in arms!

OK, so vitaminwater has a cheeky ad campaign that says "flu shots are so last year."

The campaign is promoting the vitamin C content of its drinks. However, the National Consumers League is not amused and has filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission asking vitaminwater to cease and desist with the ads, calling them "dangerously misleading," according to a report by the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

I think I am going to call "foul" on the National Consumers League (NCL) for lacking a sense of humor. Seriously, don't they have anything better to do? There have to be greater threats to consumers then a silly ad campaign. And, I ask the NCL to perhaps check up on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for their "dangerously misleading" hysteria.
