Oi, have you seen it yet? It’s yet to make it’s way online and Wendy’s isn’t hosting it either, so I’m just going to assume you’ve seen the new TV ad for the Baconator. Normally I’d call it something other than foolish, but I don’t like to curse on my blog. For those of you that haven’t seen the ad, I’ll give you an idea what it’s like.
The commercial is set in a Wendy’s with two younger people (20-somethings) chatting over a meal. The attractive blonde woman offers the kind-of-ugly man some of her salad, when he replies that he can’t, because he’s a meatetarian. Evidently, “it’s a commitment.”
Not only is it a joke on veg*ns, but a joke on the ones who annoy me too (the self-accomplished type), but in the end it trys to make a joke out of how we live and whatnot, which is silly. What’s next? Paper ads glorifying desforestation or SUV ads melting ice caps? Fine, Wendy’s, sell your meaty food, but don’t try to pass off your heart disease sandwich as some holy grail of the quest to eat meat at the expense of others!

I agree, this is one of the stupidest ads I’ve ever seen. There’s cheese and bread on the hamburger so the guy wouldn’t be a ‘meatatarian’ even if such a thing existed.
amen!
