Candy Billboard With Brown Fingernails

I was at the grocery store the other day and I saw this advertisement for a chocolate cereal.  One of the thing I love about advertising is the little details that are often hidden in the imagery.  For example the nails on the hand in this ad are painted brown, like chocolate.  Now I'm sure this was done in order to push the "chocolate" look of the piece, but I really think it doesn't work at all.  For some reason I think it actually looks kind of gross.  Not in the "poop" way, but I just think that brown nail polish isn't attractive or appropriate to advertise food.  I'm I wrong about this?
