You are not yet ready ... to be EATEN

I've always found commercials where the animals the food is made out of encourage you to eat them extremely strange, even a bit disturbing. (The Dish of the Day at Milliways satirizes this advertising concept beautifully.) I like the cows that climb ladders to paint "Eat more chikin" - that makes sense. Charlie Tuna was unclear on the concept. But Burger King's new commercial for their "spicy chick'n crisp sandwich" is beyond bizarre. The chicken is actually training - working hard - to get eaten. It's as weird as Charlie Tuna.

The cow thing reminds me of an old Sandra Boynton calendar that I had, in which the cartoon for November had a bunch of different animals holding up balloons saying "November". In the crowd was a turkey, whose balloon said, "April".
