Oh, Jack in the Box's latest ad is crass?

August 08, 2018, 04:09 PM

For God's sake- for decades, they've offered something called "Jack Sauce". It's a little late for concerns about sexual innuendo.

Jack in the Box outrage et cetera and so forth

"Crass"? Oh, sure, let's see- how about that Huggies commercial from a few years back, with cartoon babies in a contest to see how big they could blow up their Huggies diapers by filling them with shit? I didn't hear any outrage over that one.

For a long time, I was a big fan, along with my sons, of Supreme Croissant breakfast sandwiches.

Then, our investment company acquired a site NNN leased to Jack in the Box. After experiencing how they did business, I eventually sold that property and haven’t been in a store since.

Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I recall that when the iPad was introduced, some woman commentator thought calling it a “pad” was inappropriate (icky, I assume).

I’m not bothered by the fact that a few deranged individuals have such complaints, but the fact that the big “news” reporting businesses pay the slightest attention to them and thereby demonstrate that they are just as deranged.

From the article:

"However, many viewers feel the ad is tone-deaf in today’s #MeToo environment."

I saw the ad and I didn't catch the innuendo. My mind hardly ever gets out of the gutter.

There's a big difference for me between bowls and balls.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

Or how about the PSA about condoms on TBS/Comedy Central and there's two dudes in the bed, with one asleep and the other saying, "we sometimes get too excited to use a condom". Talk about OVERT!!!

Kevin Meaney had that in his standup act almost 30 years ago. "Back there, in the heat, making jack sauce... that's not right!"
