I was watching some anime on hulu and this ad for dishwasher detergent came on:

I used to wait to run my dishwasher until it was full, but now I run it all the time [..] sometimes even after a snack. You might think that's wasteful, but it's not, because even half loads use 80% less water than hand washing.

I'm so mad. What are they thinking?!? "We hope you suck at basic math and will buy more of our product and fuck the environment!"
