Dammit **Eve** you have to stop doing that. I am getting over a chest cold and I am having enough trouble breathing without you coming along and making these comments that crack me the hell up. ---

Oh, God, not an entire _pound_ of Cheez-Its! Oh, wait, the other thing. Right. ---

> [@Eve](#): > > Have you seen the commercial, with Darth (“Richard”) Vader (of Fort Lee, NJ) facing off against the much more terrifying plasticine Golem big-headed Burger King? yes, i was half expecting to hear James Earl Jones intone “God, you’re creepy” at some point in the advert, either that or force-choke or lop the king’s head off “I find your plastic face disturbing” ---

> [@Regallag\_The\_Axe](#): > > Oh, God, not an entire _pound_ of Cheez-Its! Oh, wait, the other thing. Right. Actually, I think they _were_ dark, evil Cheez-Its because they had this really nasty aftertaste. Unless that’s how Cheez-Its usually taste, in which case I’ll never buy them again. ---

Lando Calrissian, in a Ford Falcon, approaches the Burger King drive-through intercom. As he comes to a stop, Darth Vader’s amplified voice comes from the speaker. Darth Vader: Welcome to Burger King. What is your order? Lando: Yeah, I’ll have a number 3 meal with fries and a Coke. Darth Vader: Seven-ninety-five. You will drive forward. Lando pulls up to the take-out window. Vader is there. Darth Vader: That will be fourteen dollars. Lando: What? You said seven-ninety-five. Darth Vader: I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further. With a sigh, Lando hands over the money. Vader hands over a small bag. Lando looks inside. Lando: What is this? This is just a couple of onion rings! Where’s the food I ordered? Vader (menacingly): Perhaps you think you’re being treated unfairly? Lando (sullenly, barely audible): No. Vader: Good, because it would be unfortunate if I had to call the police about your broken taillight. Vader waves his hand, and an audible _POP_ is heard from the rear of the Falcon. Lando: boy, I thought McDonald’s was bad. ---

> [@Thudlow Boink](#): > > Yes, and it was the Wrongest commercial I’ve seen in a long time. I still haven’t decided whether it’s Wrong in a good way or in a bad way. All of “The King” commerials are wrong. They strike me somewhere deep. I love them. ---
