JediScum I'd like to change a billboard so it reads "I pay less for my cigarettes than you do for a gallon of gas!"

Esuohlim They show Sonic commercials here and I've never seen a Sonic restaurant in my life. Quit yer bitchin
May 15th, 2008 05:02 PM
BurntToShreds A coupla years ago, they were showing 7-11 ads here. In Houston. Where there are no 7-11's. Great idea, guys!!

WhiteRat I usally just stick to the Sonic Burger or whatever that thing is called. The chili dogs aren't bad either.

Kitsa Matter of taste, I guess. I tried them twice and the food was disgusting each time. Once it was a chicken sandwich, which was like a hard little puck in a bun that was soggy with mayo and past-due lettuce. The fries I tried were greasy and limp.

I'm not a big fan of sugar and the neon drinks give me the willies- it all looks like sugar water to me.

WhiteRat The Sonic commercials are rare in that they actually get a chuckle or two out of me. I really don't mind them at all. Also, you are wrong, the food is delish.

Kitsa I hate the commercials for Sonic. They think they're being all snarky and clever, but they just aren't. I hate the "husband and wife in the car" slightly more than the "two dumbass guys in the car". I like to imagine that the final "whack" sound they play is someone popping one of them in the face.

Also, Sonic's food sucks.

LordSappington Those damn GTA4 commercials on adult swim. I AHTE HIS VOICE! Also the ad doesn't advertise anything about the game.

WhiteRat The shitty e-trade commercials. Yes, I know it's just an ad, but in the context of the commercial itself, who the fuck would film themselves buying stock and then presumably upload it to the internet?

Fuck this smug asshole:

I don't understand what's going on in this one. It appears that his large family is there but who the fuck is the guy with the pedostach that tells "Mr. Chang" to "pull the trigger"?

eliz.lanier I hate the commercial with Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson sitting on a couch talking about global warming- and then Al Gore walks up. So annoying and contrived.

Dr. Octogonopus We have this billboard a few blocks away from my house with two douchebag babies on it. It says 'Embryos are tiny babies!' and it just pisses me off. I would respect it more if it made a point other than embryos are babies.

Fat_Hippo Oh god, I just remembered a billboard I saw once, telling you not to eat meat. It was just a black and white picture of a cow with a wasteland in the background, and "Don't eat meat, it's bad for the enviroment!" written underneath. No evidence to prove this, of course. I hate it when people try to make me vegetarian, and even more when they try to bullshit me.

Angryhydralisk Those truth commercials have gotten stupider and stupider. I don't know what's worse....the douchebag with gigantic coke-bottle glasses trying to make big statements about how bad smoking is...or the sunny side of truth commercials.

Edit: Sorry about the off topic posting. I'll shut up now. (Yeah, right.)

No, Mr T was too busy telling us about his Night Elf Mohawk.

Tadao I haven't seen that one, but I have the guitar tab to that one from last year. I'm waiting to walk up to someone eating one when I have my guitar and tell them "Let me help you enjoy that."

Fathom Zero It's fantastic and would be fodder for some stupid internet piece for sure if made publik.

Sethomas In a world, run by beauracracy,
This is a standard cliché that LaFontaine uses, taken to heart because of drinking issues.

where page captains run rampant
Well, they do.

and malevolent orcs dare to cut off one's freely-flowing libations
Chicago has a very lax drinking policy, and I remind people whom I see in Bloomington wearing shirts that say "DRY CAMPUS" in intended irony that a very high-tenured professor who lived in my building would throw parties and give me beer when I was 18. Last year, however, they began to CRACK DOWN on underage drinking at the large events that come with scav hunt because Newsweek had sucked the University's cock rather well in then-recent months, causing all kinds of issues of people bitching about why it should matter.

Only Lush Puppies Mark VII, F-I-S-T point VI Deleuzean Potato Homefries, Billmire's Scrod double-teams Stoney, No blank all Umlaut, Rosebud- Still the Fucking Sled, Vagrant Sun Gods
Every year the team comes up with a new name, and in the most formal of purposes they include all previous names in a form edited to cohere better. I don't know ALL the backstories, but I could talk a long time about what little I do know. Also, "Billmire" was one of my better friends in Chicago so hearing Don mention him is AWESOME.

will succeed in proving that true freedom can only be achieved through utter chaos.
We all need goals.

Sir, your shit's on fire. Coming soon to a theater near you.
I forget the shit on fire thing.

Fathom Zero Give it to me and I won't share it with anybody.
Apr 17th, 2008 03:11 PM
Sethomas Why, so you can make a YTMND out of it before I do? HUH?

Internet, I won't let you hurt me yet again.
