Did somebody actually write that ad copy and then sit back contentedly saying, "Aw, yeah, that's the stuff"?
But look at the adds. I mean, having a guy dressed in a BK outfit with a fake head knock on your bedroom window is not my idea of appealing.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Tom! My brother in Hootie WTF-ness!
Is that really Hootie, or just a Hootie-alike? Someone Hootie-esque, so to speak?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
But look at the adds.
NO. I won't, and you can't make me. ::hugs TiVo, rocks back and forth crooning tunelessly::

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It's even worse than the squishy Duracell plastic people. There was once a call in on WBRU where dozens of people were calling in to say they had nightmares about them.
The Burger King is even scarier.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I never saw the ad in question, I just heard the horrible rumors. And yes, it really is Hootie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Actually, I realize I have no idea what the point of that ad campaign was -- clearly, I was not the target demographic for it, so I did not get the secret decoder ring.
I heard a thing on the radio about that ad -- it's supposed to be everything guys like. (And I use the word "guys" on purpose.)

I thought those were the Carl's ads, which are just nasty.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Huh. They lost me at Hootie.

It's kind of a great ad, with Hootie singing Western and Brooke Burns (Burke? The brunette) on a swing, all cleavage-y. And then there's the fast food.

I haven't seen the ads, but I don't want a big plastic head.
