So here I am enjoying a nice dose of highlights when on comes a Jack In the Box ad for their 2 Tacos for .99 cents campaign.
So here’s this guy in his truck asking for for 99 tacos for.02 cents and the cat at the other end of the box is trying correct him but duds not having. Well that’s till a Jack doll on his dash comes to life and tells him what time it is. All the while dude has this stupid look on his face. Droopy eyes, stupid smile and everything.
Now I’m sure JITB will come out saying their intention here is to make the kid look stupid but in this day and time there’s going to be those that are going to say that this is an ad aimed stoners, myself included. I had to slap myself to make sure I wasn’t having a flashback from ‘93. That being said, I hope to god someone other than myself saw that damn ad.
Well what do you know there’s video…
Are really beginning to ruin what little social life I have…but I’ll damned if they don’t keep my busy at work and on the go…big ups to my iPhone!
“A 93-year-old Japanese man has become the first person certified as a survivor of both U.S. atomic bombings at the end of World War II, officials said Tuesday.
Tsutomu Yamaguchi had already been a certified “hibakusha,” or radiation survivor, of the Aug. 9, 1945, atomic bombing in Nagasaki, but has now been confirmed as surviving the attack on Hiroshima three days earlier as well, city officials said.
Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on Aug. 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city. He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki just in time for the second attack, city officials said.”
