Allan Keyes Is Angry About Commercial Stupidity

One of my favorite pastimes is going outside and yelling at the clouds. I mean look at them – acting all sexy and seductive, the teases! It’s enough to make me want to take a knife and slash slash slash…..but anyway, my court-appointed therapist informed me that that sort of behavior will be frowned upon by the judge. So as a sort of substitute, I watch TV and yell about the commercials instead. Here’s one that really grinds my gears:

“A HOTDOG MAKES ME LOSE CONTROL”

At first, this one really REALLY irritated me. I mean look – it assumes that a fairly attractive (in a severe way) wife is dumb enough to believe that her husband is openly flirting with the donut girl right in front of her. And that’s an annoying proposition – I HATE HATE HATE commercials that are stupid to the point of insulting. But the more I think about it, the more sense it makes. I mean look, I can’t count how many times I’ve been out with the wife getting lunch (we like to eat) and I take one look at the sandwich artist girl (or guy) making my turkey club and just blurt out “DAMN! I LIKES ME SOME ‘O DAT ASS!” right in front of her.

I mean, yeah it takes about 20 minutes to convince her that I mean pASStrami but still, I can relate.

There is one other thing I want to mention – get a look at that “sausage” – it’s a split hotdog. If you find that kind of crap tasty, you deserve to be cursed with a wife who’ll throw down over a donut girl.

Mr. Blog Asks: Are they that cheap that they couldn’t afford a round patty? 

On a related note, this comes up on youtube as the “STUPIDEST COMMERCIAL EVER”

Hard to disagree really.

Picture Postcard: Katz’s Deli NYC

These pictures were taken right around Christmas 2012, hence the folks in the Santa suits.

This is, hands down, my favorite NY deli. It is as far from formal as you can get. You can serve yourself or get waiter service, and the walls are decorated with thousands of celebrities visiting the store. And the food? Can’t be beat.

It is well over 100 years old and it feels it. Not that it feels old, not at all. It feels historic. There is a story behind every picture on the wall, a story for every seat. The air is full of steam and legend.

Katz’s is famous for their World War Two motto “Send a salami to your boy in the army.” And in the front window, you can see old photos of boys in the army enjoying their Katz’s care packages.

If Katz’s seems familiar, than you must have seen When Harry Met Sally.
