We were watching TV at the neighbor’s, and I glanced at the screen during a commercial break and thought I saw the words “Make Hunger, Say Uncle” flash across the screen. It went by too fast, so I’m not sure if I imagined that comma.
I haven’t seen this commercial again and have not been able to get anyone to confirm the text. So, did I really see what I thought I saw? If so, someone needs to fire their copy editor.
I hope this is mindless and pointless enough. I couldn’t think where else to post it.
uncle ben’s rice bowls are apparently the ones behind this merciless campaign against hunger.
So does it have a comma in it, or did I just imagine that?
No comma. It’s “Make hunger say Uncle.” You see, it’s a play on words.
Is that anything like “Make Seven, Up Yours?”
Whew Okay, I was hoping I imagined that comma, but I wasn’t sure.
Make hunger!
Say Uncle!
