As if the commercial weren’t bad enough, Pepto-Bismol’s “nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea” dancers have made it to the Web. Visitors to the “Pepto-Bismol Dance Machine” can place three dancers in any of four settings (gym, park, office, street) and smite them with five types of gastric distress. The three do their little Macarena-like dance, looking extremely pained at first, then exuberant, thanks to the Pepto.
