More on: Barry Bonds, sushi, ad, funny (all tags)

As everyone knows by now, or at least everyone should know by now, Barry Bonds is just one home run away from tying the great Hank Aaron at 755 on the all-time list. There is virtually nobody outside of the San Francisco area that wants to see the suspected doper grab the record and one Colorado sushi joint, Hapa Sushi Grill, actually decided to let their opinion on Bonds be known in a half-page ad that ran in Thursday's edition of The Onion.

Congratulations Hank Aaron on 755 home runs." At the bottom of the page, the ad continues: "Organic beef and chicken, no added steroids

And if a half-page jab isn't enough insult for your taste, full-page ads were run in a pair of Boulder newspapers on Friday. According to the founder of the restaurant, Mark Van Grack, it's simply a way to encourage people to avoid fast food and eat his delicious and nutritious sushi.

Think about what you're doing. Be healthy. You don't need steroids do something great, as Hank Aaron did," he said of the message.

C'mon, we know that this ad wasn't released to promote the nutritional benefits of sushi, but rather to further humiliate the huge headed Bonds. While this isn't as clever as throwing a giant syringe onto the field, we give the guys some extra credit for taking their insults national with this ad. Thanks for sharing with the country.
