The Glittering Caves

...evening comes: they fade and twinkle out; the torches pass on into another chamber and another dream.

"sandwiched" by wendy's

i can't find the video, but has anyone seen that recent wendy's ad for its double-melt burger (cheese and jalapenos and other stuff stuck between two burgers)? basically it's this guy in a window-side airplane row, in the middle seat, while the plane is boarding. then these two hot chicks - for that is all they are supposed to be - come and sit on either side of him and they're all smiling as he eats his wendy's burger. and the voice-over says something along the lines of being stuck in the middle isn't always bad... wendy's new burger has melted pepper jack cheese, cheddar sauce, bacon and sliced jalapenos between "two juicy fresh never frozen beef patties", and you see this guy sitting between the two smiling beautiful women. like, wth??? and nobody is saying anything about this ad? i mean, if they are, tell me about it, coz i'd like to see it. but a brief googling hasn't shown me anything. yikes. anyway i did find this article about another promotion for that particular burger, including free $1 gift cards for middle-seat passengers over thanksgiving weekend.

man, those fast-food burgers are nasty enough - i just watched fast food nation a few nights ago so i'm really feeling that - but then to see women compared to them... isn't this what everybody got in a stink over for that imam in australia, comparing women to "uncovered meat"? well, here in america, we just use the analogy of the ultimate man-food, a burger, instead...

LOL! I have to chuckle! Only because this society is primarily focused on anything that deals with "SEX". Unfortunately, "SEX" always sells and will always continue to sell because you have idiots like these promoting such commercial BS and the viewers sit and enjoy what they are hearing and seeing.

I think things would be different IF in fact, the people they are selling this stuff to decide to speak up. I hardly doubt though that this will happen!!:( It is a shame that a burger commercial becomes this sexually explicit innuendo.......Well, at least, I find it pretty explicit in an indirect kind of way!!!LOL

I honestly feel sorry for our future children. It is only going to get worse!:(
