1954 Disturbing

There's a set of TV commercials for some kind of chicken sandwiches, wherein a cow is angry at a man for "cheating on her".

Does anyone else find that disturbing? The "cheating on" the cow, I mean? One wonders what their relationship was, exactly. Ick. Ick ick!

An alternate interpretation is that the cow was angry because the man killed and ate a chicken instead of killing and eating her? That's not the first thing one thinks, and then when you back up and think it, it doesn't feel likely, and we're back to ick.

Don't they have meetings on commercials before they're approved? Doesn't anyone say, "Uh, hey, ICK!"
