“Design Expert” Ty Pennington Puts Hammer Down For Babies

Ty Pennington needs to start filtering his endorsements. Baby formula?? Really? and with “Design Expert” as his title… The screen-cap is from a banner ad being featured on People.com

I headed over to the Similac website for some answers. It seems they are offering up a contest where a likely post-partumly depressed new Mom can design the “nursery of her dreams!” Which will most likely involve a “baby strangler”, or something equally as baby quiety.

You really have to hand it to the Similac ad team: They clearly realize Extreme Home Makeover star Pennington is a personality force to be reckoned with, and didn’t want him taking attention away from their product. The result?

The Captain Hambone blog has even more hilarious Pennington/Similac related material. Between us, I wouldn’t trust Pennington with anything, much less baby food. I’m pretty sure a couple of the houses he’s built have come crashing down to the ground like so many reality tv hosting gigs.
