Nobody cares, but I don't like Wendy's commercials

Wendy's has a stupid commercial in which they pretend they're the first ones to consider putting hot chicken on a salad. It's always fun when people pretend they're being innovative. Hey! I just had an idea! I'll have blog, where I write snarky, sarcastic posts about things in pop culture that annoy me!

But now they have that "Meatetarian" commercial where they cock off vegetarians. And why not? I'm sure there are very few vegetarians in the Wendy's customer base. When I saw the commercial, I just turned to my wife and calmly asked, "Did we just get made fun of?" And then I continued about my business of never going to Wendy's.

Commercials that talk to us

You know that commercial with the woman that says "You know that song 'Time in a Bottle?'" I always say "No, no I don't." But every time she continues to talk as if I do know that song "Time in a Bottle." I guess I can still piece together what she's trying to say: language comprehension does rely on context, and after all, you don't really need to know that song "Time in a Bottle" to know what she's talking about.

We are Lazarus!

We wouldn't be the cruddy, directionless blog that we are if we didn't forget to post for most of summer. But we're back, baby!
