Okay. None of you would believe this, but I have proof. I was looking for an apartment in Birmingham, AL a couple days ago and at around 11pm on the hotel TV I saw this on public access.
I could not believe my eyes. I simply could not. I had somehow stumbled upon the holy grail of awkward commercials in my unassuming little hotel room.
I get the feeling that this commercial is actually supposed to be a parody of the "pandering marketing model" I mean, If I really wanted to use sex to sell my product I think I would have at least had the teacher remove more than just her hair tie. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty dumb commercial, I don't want a Reuben on a flat bun any more than I did tens minutes ago, even if a scantily clad young women served it to me carrying in her teeth. Furthermore, the demographic that they seem to be targeting is likely smart enough to see past the sexual issue and perceive the hilarity that is ripping off sir mix-a-lot.
and I kind of lied earlier, a Reuben does sound good, but I was mostly enticed by the image of the Reuben, not the teacher's flat buns
i don't care what he's selling at this place of business that's just like, just like, just like a mini mall (oh yeah!) but i need to buy two of everything.

I'm confused why people are expecting Fast Food Restaurants to be...what? Classy? It's fast food! I've been boycotting fast food for years, but that's because of the health and enviromental issues. But now people are boycotting it because of a rap? They were OK with it then, but now...?
That's hilarious. I'm hilarried. amused.
Not because of rap, it's because of the hot teacher.
Perhaps a boycotting of all companies/organizations that endorse hotness or use sex to sell product would be in order then? Let me be the first to give a big loud "FUCK YOU" to the NFL for their use of attractive and fit women on their sidelines. And another to the USA, because we all know that Lady Liberty isn't wearing anything under that robe, making all those immigrants want to come here. And last but not least, a big fat juicy "fuck you" to Victoria's Secret for their sumptious TV spots that do nothing but sell sex to young ladies who should be reading the bible, but have been corrupted into watching television by our heathenous society.
I love it when people get all worked up about commercials. Like the old Bud commercials with the three frogs. Gimme a freaking break.
