The Dumbest Sponsorships For Man of Steel

To hype up the Man of Steel movie from DC, the comic book producers put the brand name on multiple products to get people excited.  This display of shameless advertising showed us two things 1) DC really has no shame and 2) DC really doesn't understand the brand Superman.  Especially with products like...

 1. Cheez-Its












Justification:  Cheez-Its is a party snack.  Kids like Cheez-its right!

 Fault:  Unless they are alluding to the metaphor that Superman is a Jesus figure and that Cheez-Its is what people yell instead of taking the Lord's name in vain, this is not a worthy party snack.  But it is not as bad as...

 2.  Town House Crackers














Justification:  This is probably a cruel joke about Clark's home town not being posh enough to afford a town house.

Fault:  You only use Town House crackers when you are inviting your elderly lady friends for a rousing game of pinocle.  I have never seen anyone under the age of 40 buy Town House crackers.


3. Poptarts












Justification:  Similar to a Poptart, Man of Steel is a movie that was really easy to prepare, but very regrettable after 2 hours because of its very stubborn and over powering flavor.

Fault:  Poptarts are usually good if you eat one square inch per gallon of milk.  Like Poptarts, Superman is also way too strong and a default answer to most problems.

4. Twizzlers

 






Justification:  Superman is red.  Twizzlers are red.  Match made in Heaven.

Fault:  Long synthetic concoctions that are filled with sugar and artificial flavors.  That seems to also be the description of everyone's character development in the movie.




Note:  These pictures were quite difficult to find online.  Maybe DC realized how dumb Man of Steel on Kelloggs was.
