sign #314: bags of chips now feature a remote control
it used to be that junk food manufacturers had to apologize or disguise the fact that their products were unhealthy (i.e. now with half the fat, reduced sodium, new, low calorie recipe, rich in vitamins, won't clog your colon, etc.) frito lay, being the purveyors of gluttony that they are, have decided to enter what bill o'reilly likes to call, "the no spin zone." (for further clarification, please watch this
video) in the no spin zone, frito-lay has dropped their spin doctoring ways and have conceded to the fact that, in all likelihood, the people that buy their chips aren't the most active/health conscious group in world. , . now, in addition to displaying a well lit and thoroughly delicious looking bowl of chips, frito lay has also included the image of a tv remote control. they're not even trying to hide the fact that the people most likely to eat the chips leave their recliners only for a.) more chips b.) beer c.) taking a piss d.) a healthy scratch of the ass or e.) all of the above (but only during commercials). it's like they're saying, "yeah, we know you're probably a lazy, fat ass. oh well, what are you gonna do, huh? want some more chips, fat ass? don't bother getting up, fat ass, you just change they channels while we provide the calories." it's sad to see that gluttony and laziness are the prime motivators for selling food products. would putting a nice picnic scene on the bag be too difficult? something outdoors, maybe. something involving physical movement other than spontaneous arm raising at the sight of a touchdown?
