Curly is running a poll right now – grossest TV commercial! Go and vote! My contribution to the poll is the really disgusting skanky guy who SNIFFS at empty White Castle containers sent to him by his friend. Great campaign, White Castle! Somehow associate your food with an image of STINKY GARBAGE. Morons.

HA! It’s not the first time. There’s the older one where the immaculately-dressed guy comes out of his spotlessly-detailed Caddy, and spills dozens of the empty cartons all over the street.
I worked at a Castle for about six months, and let me tell you true – used Castle boxes would be extraordinarily rank; they are obviously using clean dummies for the spots, which makes the ads, in an odd way, gross AND ludicrous.
I guess I don’t watch enough television – I haven’t seen enough of those ads to be able to compare them. (I have, however, alas, seen the Digger the Dermatophyte ones more than enough. My skin crawls every time I think of it).
They’re not particularly GROSS, but I find most of the recent Burger King commercials (with the exception of the “Manthem” one which just makes me giggle) deeply disturbing.
I have been permanently mentally scarred by that person wearing the rubber King head.
hahaha I know exactly the one you mean – it’s nasty!
