Eat here—we have no taste!

Billboard: When it comes to hot dogs, this is our turf. (Wienerschnitzel mascot sprays mustard on a fire hydrant.)

I’m not sure what annoys me more about this ad: the fact that the joke is tasteless (which is an oddly appropriate phrase, considering it’s about food), or the fact that it’s equating something they serve (the mustard) with urine.

“Come here, our mustard tastes like piss!” Yeah, that’s encouraging.

    LOL

    That’s right up there with the Quizno’s commercial featuring deformed, zombie spokesRATS.

    I almost cut that line out, but Katie laughed so hard at it that I decided it had to stay.

    Hmm, I wonder what it says about me that I remembered the pirates from that Quizno’s commercial, but completely forgot the rats?

    I’m glad you left it. It certainly cracked me the hell up. Even won the coveted Quote of the Day award.

    OoooooOOOOOooooooooh.

    “Traumatic Experience = Repressed Memories,” maybe?

    Then again, you ARE the guy who declared “Talk Like a Pirate Day.” *checks and discovers it was probably these guys.

    Umm… Yaaaarrrrr!
