"raisin Brahms" news and stories

When you were a kid, did you get lectures about a healthy breakfast? Did you suffer under specific weekday breakfast rules to keep your mind alert for all your classes? I remember growing up with a huge urge for the weekend -- not for cartoons but to have sugar cereals.

Spoofing that idea, America for the Arts created a faux commercial for Raisin Brahms, which you can see above. As part of their campaign that stresses the importance of arts being taught at school, the faux ad shows a family that gets super-smart after eating arts-enriched Raisin Brahms, and being visited by late German composer Johannes Brahms.

Forget cereal boxes with sports heroes -- where are the classic composers, artists, thinkers, writers ... ?!
