I avoid commercials, but am stuck during sporting events like the Olympics. Have you seen the ad for Devour frozen meals? Some dude talking dirty to his bacon, cheese and potato lunch, to the point where he spanks it with his fork? And when some other dude sees him and says “Did you just spank your food?” And the guy replies Yes, and the question asker goes “all right!” or something. And then close with the tagline “Food you want to…” and then show a fork full of the coronary casserole. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with the people making ads like this?! ---

Well, the Devour chicken enchiladas _are_ pretty darn good. The sausage & cheese pesto ravioli is a bit watery, and the lasagna alfredo is too greasy for my taste. ---
