If the California-based measles outbreak has been a new public low point for parents who chose not to vaccinated their children, Conan's mock commercial for Kind Hearts Day Care might be its nadir. The imaginary childcare center accepts both kids who have been vaccinated and those who haven't, but the ad's final line is its cruelest: "We give your unvaccinated children the care they deserve." You have to watch to get the get the full weight of the joke. But ouch. —Peter Weber
