Once again, this has nothing to do with technology but this is my blog and I’ll rant if I want to, so suck it up and read on. What the heck kind of commercial is this? Hardee’s (better known as Carl’s Jr. to us West Coasters*) is pimping out their new Biscuit Holes – which I guess are like donut holes, but with icing. Scrumptious and healthy, I’m sure.

They took to the streets to ask people what they like better: A-holes, or B-holes? Sick!

Since when did advertising become all about sex? Ok, stupid question, but really – as if it weren’t bad enough seeing a razor company coyly hinting at the shape of your hair “down there,” or an internet company suggesting that your husband’s addiction to internet porn makes you wanna barf, now we’re comparing breakfast pastries to… well, you can use your imagination.

Edited to add: Not sure how I forgot this gem of a Burger King ad. What are we selling here? Is this a sandwich ad, or pornography?

Smile!

I suppose it works, though – I am blogging about it, after all. Woo Hardee’s!

*Ahh! Did I just call myself a “West Coaster?!?” Somebody. Get. Me. Out. Of. Here.

Just what we need, another product to promote laziness.  No wonder America is suffering from an obesity epidemic.  No one has to get up off their butts to do anything anymore.  Turn on the TV, go shopping, whatever it is you need to do – chances are there is a gadget out there to do it for you, all from the comfort of your own chair (which, you may have actually fused with by now, lazy).  I really shouldn’t complain, because lets face it, this stuff is cool, and anything that saves us time is great.  But this, is ridiculous.

The epitome of laziness:   the Self-Stirring Coffee Mug.  That’s right, ladies & gentlemen, no longer do you have to torture yourself, rotating your wrist in a dreadful circular motion to get all the cream and sugar dissolved in your coffee (you poor thing!)  This battery-operated stainless steel coffee mug looks like any other boring mug, but with the push of a button it begins whirring its contents around.

Now all we need is a robotic arm to actually lift the mug to our mouths so we don’t have to keep using our arms.  What a pain in the ass.
