"Quality..."

This is the entire text of an advertisement that's been published in The Magazine I Work For (TM):

"Quality...

is like buying oats. If you want nice, clean, fresh oats, you have to pay a fair price for them. Oats that have already been through the horse come a bit cheaper."

WTF? Is this a riddle? A fortune cookie? The only other thing in the ad is the name of the company and a phone number. Should I call them and ask what this means?

FWIW, the company in question does DNA synthesizering. Yes, I know that's not a word.

In the UK, "Quality" is a term of approbation used by middle class rugby cunts shortly before I punch them in the face.

That really bears no resemblance to buying oats, does it though?

this "DNA synthesizing", does it have something to do with sowing your wild oats?

Their lab process is clean but expensive. You pay shit, you get shit.

I understand this commercial fully. They say "We must look for a life that becomes gel-like in a water solution, like the fiber in oatmeal. Think slow cars, magical drinks, naked folks. It's all in the oats. Sow your oats while staining on your head"

I see I'm not the only one googling for Wilford Brimley today.
