Things that Shouldn't Bother me But Do

those Outback Steakhouse radio commericals with the fake australians singing.

No rules, just right!

i think some of my least favourite commercials on TV are the Olive Garden ones which are like "Hey! My Uncle Junior came over from Italy and he says the nobody does real Italian food like the Olive Garden!"

then it cuts to this elderly wop dude and he's all like "Hey-a! It's-a just like-a home!" and waves his hands around to show you he's a 'real Italian'. Then he bites into the reheated-from-frozen chicken 'piccata' and smiles.

alex I am WITH YOU on this one

I'm very anti Old Navy commercials. They're all so dumb. And because of this I refuse to buy/wear anything from Old Navy. But that Meow Mix commercial where the guy starts singing "beer, beer, beer, beer..." is awesome.

any commercial with cats automatically rules.

I'm not much of a gourmand so the olive garden isn't my cup of tea. but it must be kind of like saying taco bell is authentic mexican cuisine.

i would say taco bell is much more authentic than olive garden--taco bell is just pretty low-quality and has weird, non-mexican combinations (gorditojas, meximojoles, blah blah), but real italian food has prosciutto and weird meats in everything. and i like the olive garden, actually.

but real italian food is not as good as italian-american food.

I love the Olive Garden and Taco Bell really hits the spot when I'm strapped for cash and/or time. But Chipotle is better, much, much better.

that ultra hot red sauce at chipotle will really open up the sluices.

I'll tell you something/someone who is really irritating, although only LuminousAether will know who he is:

Fred Ricart, pitchman for the nation's largest auto dealership, located here in columbus. he hops he prances, he cavorts about on camera with his guitars, singing the praises of buying autos from his people. he is a true idiot. and now his radio spots are claiming that Ricart is "officially four times more trusted than any other dealer."

I sincerely hope that by posting this gripe, that LuminousAether is not Fred's nephew, or God forfend, Fred himself.

Old Navy commericals ruled for like two years when they had that weird old lady saying the weirdest things like "I'm flipping over the style"(toby knows whats up).

Now they just have that jerkface pretty boy who annoys the shit out of me everytime i see his stupid face smiling in their stupid commercials.
