On advertising

[plural]

[now I am not sure if either of these ads runs in the states]
[but I am going to comment on them anyway]


Starting off with the new Subway advertising campaign



you know it was bad enough when
the catholic church sold indulgences
but freaking Subway?

[though I have to admit]
[the guy washing his car in a cheerleader outfit]
[really cracks me up]

although I suppose as the perennial sinner
I should applaud the convenience factor here
now I don't even have to go to a religious leader
and suffer through some lecture on my evils
nope
I can just drop by subway and have a quick lunch

problem solved

or well it would be
if their food didn't completely suck

speaking off food

to my fellow Canucks, have yall tried that "Extreme Pita" place??
I found it the other day
and damn it was good
think I am gonna live there
even if the name is pretty lame
*grin*
as for you American imperialist types
you will have to wait
unless you live in

Blacksburg, Virginia

or

West Allis, Wisconsin

anyway
I digress

the next commercial really addressed
one of my more serious concerns
with the product in question
and made me feel much more interested
in purchasing one
which I think should be the hallmark
of quality and responsible advertising

which commercial is that?

the new Mini commercial

which starts off looking through a windshield
with two people who have obviously been
doing naughty things in the laid back seats
reassembling their clothing and such
the young woman in the passenger seat remarks
"Wow there really is a lot of room in here"
the gentleman grins
and from the back seat
another young woman pops up
and says
"yeah there really is"
