I Just E-Mailed Applebees

I told them that when I watch their new TV commerical with the two dudes singing in the surf, there are two predominant thoughts that come to mind:

1. Please God, send a shark.
2. Tsunami, tsunami, tsunami.

They thanked me for my interest in Applebees and said they would take my comments under consideration.

Rack that.

I sent a letter to State Farm, and am taking credit for the recent absence of their amazingly annoying ad, which was featured relentlessly during the first round of the NCAA tournament - the one that featured the dude dressed in basketball fan garb who was vocally jerking off every time the "agent" hooked him up with a sweet deal on his policy. I found a way to mix in a Mcgyver joke into the letter, and am pretty sure that sealed the deal.

I wonder if the person taking your call had at least thirteen pieces of flair on?

Least they could have done for you Fester was to send you an apple, or a sack full of angry bees.

I sent an email to Olive Garden telling them how much their weak advertising sucked but was easily outmatched by their shitty grub.

They sent me a $20 gift card.

They haven't canned that stupid commercial, yet. I've still seen it numerous times since then.

We had a local boat building company here in Minny do an ad that featured a naked fat guy in a boat. I guess the gist was supposed to be that because the boat was such a beautiful work of art, nobody noticed the hulking naked fat shit at the helm.

I wrote them and said I will always associate their products with repulsive, morbidly obesese, naked fatstuffs.

They didn't send me a gift certificate or anything.

I did see it once during the Sweet 16 on CBS, near the end of the last game. That was much nicer than the 47 times I saw it during the first round of play.

Like I was saying,

Boating accident
Box jellyfish attack
Tidal wave
Runaway Jetski
Japanese submarine slamming two torpedos into their sides, Chief...

etc

Like the Woody Allen jok, "Oh the restaurant was horrible! The food was terrible. And such small portions, too."

i emailed qdoba about six months ago because i was sick and fucking tired of getting screwed there. first they took away the free pop with student id, then the burritos started getting smaller and conversely prices went up. i was hoping to get a free burrito coupon or at least a fuckign response, but i got neither.

fuck qdoba.
