Unfortunate Grammar: Special K cereal

I saw a commercial for Special K breakfast cereal the other day. The female voice over said this line:

People who eat cereal like Special K way less.

I thought it was a pretty bad (but honest?) way to advertise a cereal. Then I realized what they were actually saying: People who eat cereal like Special K weigh less. Then I thought it was funny. It reminded me of the “Make 7 / Up yours” commercial, except that it wasn’t done on purpose, which makes it even funnier. Unfortunate, but funny.

    Yeah, I saw that too.
    And I agree with you and everything.

    Do you know if that female voice was that of Lauren Graham???
