You've seen car commercials on TV, I presume?
The ones with the family minivan rocketing around treacherous corners on the Pacific Coast Highway in full four-wheel-drift?
With tiny little type at the bottom of the screen:
Professional driver on closed course. Do not attempt.
OK, liability and all that. But what am I to make of the new Taco Bell commercial, for something that looks like a chicken stir-fry dish?
Not that I really care, because I wouldn't eat at Taco Bell on a dare.
However, on the bottom of the screen:
White meat not available in Canada.
What, exactly, does this mean? Is there no white meat in Canada? Are there no chickens left in Canada? Must we make do with a dark meat turkey stir-fry? It sounds like something Mom would come up with five days after Thanksgiving.
Or God help us, could this have some connection to the mad cow crisis? A Taco Bell stir-fry with quarantined hamburger, crawling with BSE prions. It's making me gag more than Mom's theoretical turkey concoction.
I'll bet those cute lil' seal pups've got plenty of tasty white meat inside them.
