zimon66Jack in the Box has new commercial for their 'sirloin something or other' which shows Jack and his executives all laughing about the competition's burgers being made from Angus beef.
Didn't get what they found so damn funny until seeing the other commercial tonight. Jack is pointing out on a beef cut chart where the sirloin comes from. Somebody asks where the Angus is and he passes on pointing where it could be, but (pardon the pun) the camera is aimed right over Jack's shoulder at the cow's tailend. In JitB's world 'Angus = ass'???!!!
I sat there wondering who the hell in the advertising department thought a known breed of cow could be passed off as a cut of beef for a very lame ass joke. It's so damn stupid, should have NEVER been done. No wonder I didn't get the joke or find it funny (after getting an explanation), because I hear 'Angus' and what comes to mind is a black cow who's meat is used for burgers and steaks. 'Ass' never crosses my mind.
While writing this up, went to Wikipedia to get the actual name of the 'sirloin something or other'. Didn't find it but there's a mention of JitB getting slapped with a lawsuit because of those Angus commercials.
Now that's funny - LOL!!!
