God I hate the man. He keeps bringing out those Doritos and biting into them so lovingly… [aaaaaaaaaaa]… and every time it makes me want to crunch into that spicy nacho goodness even more. ARGH! I can’t even buy them here. This is perhaps the most effective advertising campaign I have ever witnessed. I consciously CRAVE those Doritos and knowing where I’m getting this craving from doesn’t mitigate it in the slightest. GRRR. ---

I always watch those faces and think he really doesn’t like eating those things. Which only makes it funnier. ---

I’ve tried them, and they’re pretty good. After all, they _are_ the only spicy snack to win a George Foster Peabody Award. (This is a bizarre coincidence, as I was thinking of starting a thread today asking if anyone has seen a bag of Doritos with a “Peabody Award Winning!” or alternate sticker or has placed one on some themselves.) ---

I agree with the second post. But what makes it extraordinarily effective is that I actually have never been able to stand Doritos, of any kind, and yet I agree with the first post as well. ---

[/QUOTE] There’s something about Colbert’s earnest and innocent face pimping out the Doritos that’s just utterly irresistible. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I WANT SOME GODDAMNED SPICY NACHO CHEESE DORITOS!!! ---

Wait a minute…I just noticed what flavor you said sponsors Dr. Colbert. Although there is a **Spicy Nacho** flavor, it has never sponsored any of Dr. Colbert’s presidential coverage. His short-lived presidential campaign was sponsored by the classic **Nacho Cheese** flavor, and his upcoming coverage of the Pennsylvania primaries is sponsored by new **Spicy Sweet Chili** flavor. I’ve never had Spicy Nacho, but I have had Spicy Sweet Chili. ---

They yearn to be FREE, in my stomach, where would be no names, just a happy playland of tortilla delight. Could it be that you hate FREEDOM?
