No, he's not channeling The Onion. This guy is serious. LOL!!!

[lelio]

But I'll bet anyone who ever heard a similar phrase -- with exactly the same number of syllables, I might add -- cannot hear the commercial stinger line without hearing the familiar epithet of days gone by.
Come to think of it it does sound like that. Who is working at Wendy's advertising agency? Burger King should try and use this angle in their next round of ads.

Wendy's Needs to bring back that "Chicken Courdon Blue" Sandwich,....That was Da Bomb!!!!!

was that racist ?

[rabidralph]

Gee, I thought he was going to say that he counted the number of blacks in the commercial and noted that they all were on the chicken lover side of the argument. I'm amazed that his column turns out to be stupider than what I was thinking.

[Doc Savage]

Where's the BEEF!?

[PAR35]

But both sandwiches mentioned have BACON. Bobby Ray Sanders is so narrow minded he doesn't even think of all of the Islamic Terrorists who must be offended by the ads.

"Bob Ray Sanders"

Ah take it Suurrr, you is no kin of the late Colonel,
Harlan *Sanders*, of Kentucky Fried CHICKEN [LOVER]?

I'm a turkey lover myself.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[mhking]

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

[Doctor Raoul]

It actually suggests that if you're on the wrong side of the sandwich issue, then there is something wrong with you. Not just that you don't have good taste, but that others who disagree have the right to target, taunt and discriminate against you.

That's right out of the liberal palybook.

Label someone a hater and it's OK to hate a hater. And you don't have to listen to a hater. And you can take away the rights of a hater.

This liberal columnist is projecting.

A fart in a wind storm.

[mountaineer]

Next thing you know this guy will be complaining that some Wendy's stores have watermelon on the salad bar.

[RANGERAIRBORNE]

THis moron's life must be good, if THIS is all he has to worry about.

I'm (almost) speechless.

[billhilly]

I guess the writer missed the story about Jaguar targeting gays with their new car ads. Prejudiced? Hell yes. They think they can get a few bucks from wealthy gays. Do they also advertise in Ebony Magazine? They would be missing a good bet if they didn't.

Advertising, like retail politics, is aimed at selling to small groups, as well as the groups who are taken for granted by the politicians. Let's not leave any change on the bar, so to speak.

"Chicken lover!"

I'm not getting it. It was offensive because the first black president was in Tyson's pocket from his days in Little Rock? What ethnicity were the drive by chicken lover haters? I have a Wendy's chocolate frosty (large) waiting in my freezer for dessert. Am I oppressing and offending anyone or am I enlightened? I'm so confused.

[Anchoragite]

"Chicken lover!"

Perhaps to the average viewer and hearer, this was a very clever and funny line. But I'll bet anyone who ever heard a similar phrase

Kind of like the woman who calls the Washington Monument "porn," I'd think. Freud at work.

[Randjuke]

Perhaps I'm the only one in America who does not appreciate this latest approach in advertising.

It's very possible.

[Old Professer]

Chicken Liver???!!!!

Hell, where I grew up, they had a halfway house for Republicans who only ventured out after dark, but that was a long time ago.

[Ford Fairlane]

I thought they were funny

By the way I'm a beef lover & all you chicken lovers aren't welcome in my part of town
