One tries to ignore pop culture, but it seeps through. Now Maine lobster and Chad have joined forces with the Ma Na Ma Na song to take over my brain.
A seafood chain (Red Lobster, or is it Joe’s Crab Shack?) is advertising Maine lobster tail. Say what? What happened to the claws, antennae, head, body, and legs? When you get Maine lobster, it’s the whole thing, and it’s alive, right up until you place your order and they toss it in the pot. Since when did Maine lobstermen start cutting up their precious catch and freeze-drying the parts, like chicken wings, for cheap chain restaurants? Lobster lovers, this is some sort of scam, and I say the hell with it. Whatever it is they’re selling, it ain’t Maine lobster.
And then there’s Chad, the Alltel guy. Have you noticed he’s now appearing in a hamburger chain commercial? My wife says it’s a Chad lookalike, but I think it’s Chad. What the hell? Actors from one corporation’s commercial doing cameo appearances in other corporation’s commercials? Is this the next trend in appealing to the under-30 demographic? Is Chad the new Carrot Top?
I can’t believe I’m blogging about this stuff. Ma na ma na, doo doo de doo doo, ma na ma na, doo doo doo doo, ma na ma na, doo doo de doo doo . . . all hell, let’s all sing along!
