 |
|
The following is a quote from one of their recent TV ads. "Tired of bland pizza with topings that you don't want? Come and build your own pizza at the Dragon Hill Lodge."
I laughed when I saw this commercial because they were being so polite to avoid offending certain people. And I'm sure the people I'm referring to didn't get it.
What are they really talking about? What are the two words?  |

I'm not slamming the military. I'm not making fun of the commercial. I'm praising it for being discreet. |

Yes! You're the winner. The answer is Korean Pizza. The rest of you need another morning coffee.
I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I saw that ad. I knew what they were talking about and anybody who was really listening knew. I'm sure the message was missed by many Korean ears. Very clever guys!
Sorry, Theatrelily, I am out of cookies. But you win the distinction of being the poster who is most "on the ball" today on Dave's. |

We also know who the most jackass with a foot up its ass poster is too.
But that's Dev every single day.
There isn't a smiley that can roll its eyes with enough Sturm und Drang und Donner to encapsulate the tallied moronosity of your collected postage. Bloody hell.
I'll say it aqain: you have to be cubanlord's sock. |

Corn on pizza is an abomination!
Bah, give me European pizza any day. Italian...divine. Slices of tomato and fresh herbs. French...yummy, especially if it has spicy sausage and fresh rosemary on it. Every other pizza is just to fill my stomach. |

I wonder how Dev knows this....? Is he lipreading, or perhaps he has some friends in high places on the AFN commercial-writing staff (a place which, incidentally, I feel would benefit enormously from Otis's elegant prose)...?
But anyway, pizza. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The only pizzas worth eating in my opinion are the fabulous 'London Pizza' which, curiously, are only available in the north of England in my experiences. They feature the standard cheese and tomato topping, but are accompanied by chips (or fries, if you're American), donner meat and a fried egg. Truly delicious!! |

Sorry, but that's a Greek pizza.

Well I havn't ever heard of them being referred to as 'Greek' pizza's. In my university town (Middlesbrough) they were always called 'London' pizza's. Now I may be a little hard of hearing, in one ear, but 'Greek'...?? Never!

I always wondered if some of those commercials had inside jokes... Some are just too cheesy to be for real. The "commercials" remind me of EBS skits, like the ones they have on Survival English. You guys have seen the one where the, er, girl (frankly, I was confused about her gender for awhile^^) is falling asleep eating chips in front of the tv, and then she picks up a Korea travel guide and decides to go out. Have you noticed when the 2 gus come to her door, they say "Let's go", and then she says, ""Hey guys~" They had to have stepped on her line, and then just not bothered to tape the scene over.
I miss Mad Man Mike- he had personality. |
