Commercials

Hi Folks. Welcome To The Latest Installment Of My Blog Called "Big Comfy Chair". Why do I call it that? Well remember when you were a kid and your grandparents or great-grandparents has an old out of place chair, well think of that when you my rants and raves on issues involving the media, advertising, the economy, politics and international affairs. My material is my own off the cuff, off the top of my head and pretty damn funny...or at least I like to think so.

Today's Topic: TV Commercials.

I have a bone to pick with the advertising agencies who created this new Quizno's commercial about THE TORPEDO. Excuse me, but considering your commercial is geared 100% toward the homosexual lifestyle and you're offending me, the middle class white straight guy, who's going to look like Rosie O'Donnell when he orders one of these thick and solid sandwiches. Whats next a village people discount? Offering a side of leather and chains with those cheese fries are we? I just think if you wanted to create a new sandwich, think economical, think cultural, think Boston, think New York, think Prime Rib, think Extra Juicy Turkey something. Not TORPEDO, its sounds like you're going for the girth factor versus the enhanced sandwich. Seriously, how would this sound, "Hey Man Let Me Get a Torpedo with all the Trimmings and Extra Special Sauce", It sounds like you want two homosexual sandwich makers to have a field day on your penis. Bottom Line: Quizno's, Bad Marketing Idea, here's my answer you're Ad people need to be sent to a Penil colony.
