What is Up with Recent Pornographic Food Advertisments?

Quiznos, McDonald’s, Burger King, Hardees, I can’t get over the level of marketing stupidity you have when you associate fast food with hot women, sex, blow jobs and all the other stuff which has NOTHING TO DO with your crappy food.  It doesn’t make the food taste any better.  Walking into McDonald’s the other day I couldn’t stop thinking about the “Awesome Threesome” and how gross that would be if it were included in any real (read: non-food) sexual experience.  Burger king, you just kind of piss me off with Seven Incher ad.  Anyone else notice a recent rise of the porno food ads?

The White Spot’s Gusburger Picked as One of America’s Best Burgers

It’s amazing just how personalized MSN can get.  Late at night it knows my willpower and sensibilities are at an all time low, and lies in wait for me to open a browser before flashing pictures of gooey, rich foods all over the screen.  I’m hungry, and a gigantic burger floats as a link on the homepage.  On closer inspection, the article is about best burgers in the nation.  As in, far far far away.  Relieved, I click without fear, knowing there’s no way I’ll be tempted to take a late night drive to go get one.  Wrong.

Number two on the list is the White Spot.  MSN’s Bret Stetka says:

Raising Cane’s: Amazing Fried Chicken Disguised as Fast Food

charlottesville raising canes

I was ordered, through the grapevine, to make a visit to Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers on 29N (not to be confused with the world’s first self-righting walking cane).  Going north, it’s about one block past the KFC.  The KFC should be really, really freaked out.

I am a skeptic of any place that can cook your food within several minutes. As an admitted food snob, I thought a few times about visiting Raising Cane’s.

I mean gosh, we have all the fixings for a disaster:

1. Cane’s is where Krispy Kreme Doughnuts used to have its store

2. The restaurant was full of the Id of Jared

3. Only Chicken Fingers?! That sounds stupid. Aren’t chicken fingers, like, for kids?

4. Typical fast foodish fears.

Guess what, Cane’s proved me all wrong.
