It's a radio ad but there's a Taco Bell one going around where they quote fake twitter people talking about their tacos and ugh. I seriously want to punch whoever thought it was a good idea and double punch whoever thought it would be quirky and totally hip to have one of the 'twitter people' claim the taco was like riding a unicorn or some other stupid currently cool way the kids talk these days poo poo.

I am angry about cheap tacos.

It's on TV too, and it shows people biting into that abomination. I also believe it was something like "kissing a unicorn while under an epic rainbow" or something like that.

My local Hyundai dealership is the king of bad radio ads. They've been using "Don't Worry Be Happy" as their theme song for the past few years and it's made me hate the song all over again. Their current ad uses a soundbyte of Dave Hester from Storage Wars screaming "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!" about 6 times in 30 seconds. It's worse than I can possibly explain.

For some reason I'm reminded of the Wendy's radio commercial which has testimonials from "real" people like Reno Kenosi and Christian Corea. Those are the most made-up-sounding names I have ever heard.

It's funny because I think they have to be careful about which Twitter accounts they quote (I mean even though they're probably fake).

Oh god, yeah, that one is particularly infuriating. Especially the line "I think i'm gonna cry, yo.".

Despite the fact that it's clearly a bullshit Twitter account being quoted, in reality, if the taste of lovely faux preprocessed Mexican food bring a tear of joy to your eye, then you should immediately douse yourself in kerosene and then flick a Zippo.

And if you say you're gonna cry, don't you dare follow that up with "yo". You're not a cholo and never will be. Stop it.

A more realistic Taco Bell commcercial would feature someone laying down on the couch after eating the Taco Bell food, and crying/clutching their stomach in pain because of it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the ad agency owns those twitter names, I know production companies will typically buy any fake website addresses mentioned on a show to prevent any strange legal stuff from popping up. Unless you're really bad at your job and rename something without checking, like the Netflix people tried to do with 'quickster' and that turned out really good.

Times Square has been redeveloped into a pedestrian mega-destination which happens to be located in one the most affluent urban areas in the country and you're curious as to why someone might charge more for the restaurant they have located there?

To those curious about advertising in Times Square, total coverage of all billboards/signs/displays etc will run you about 6-8 million for a single day. Coincidentally, I hate Times Square.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Times Square gets something like 100k visitors through it daily. It's insane how crowded it gets at times.

Exactly, unless it's like, 2 in the morning and your hotel is right downstairs and you're drunk as hell, there's no excuse for going to a chain restaurant in New York City.
