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.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
sumi, that guy is luckier than he deserves.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Here's a little essay on the Scary Burger King.
Somehow, an advertising agency has managed to take the concept of a king who gives you free sandwiches and turn that into something you’d run away from when confronted by it in an abandoned hospital.
