Another day, another st00pid meat commericial.
December 20th, 2008 2:51 pm by Kelly G.As seen while watching TBS’s 207th airing of Anchorman this morning:
Two points:
1 – There’s already a term for animals whose diets primarily consist of the corpses of other animals: carnivores.
2 – The so-called “meatatarian” profiled above is eating a bun which – correct me if I’m wrong – is most decidedly not made of “meat.”
And yes, I get it, Wendy’s is trying to crack a joke here; supposedly this commercial is “funny” because of its ridiculousness: of course humans can’t survive on meat alone.
Except there’s really nothing funny about mass murder, which is precisely how Wendy’s turns a profit.
That, and they’re also implicitly mocking veg*ns with the whole “it’s a lifestyle choice” spiel.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
At least we’ve moved on to stage two, eh?
