One tries to ignore pop culture, but it seeps through.\u00a0 Now Maine lobster and Chad have joined forces with the Ma Na Ma Na song to take over my brain.<\/p>\n
A seafood chain (Red Lobster,\u00a0or is it Joe’s Crab Shack?)\u00a0is advertising Maine lobster tail.\u00a0 Say what?\u00a0 What happened to the claws, antennae, head, body, and legs?\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Since when did Maine lobstermen start cutting up their precious catch and freeze-drying the parts, like chicken wings,\u00a0for cheap chain restaurants?\u00a0 Lobster lovers, this is some sort of scam, and I say the hell with it.\u00a0 Whatever it is\u00a0they’re selling, it ain’t Maine lobster.<\/p>\n
And then there’s Chad<\/a>, the Alltel guy.\u00a0 Have you noticed he’s now appearing in a hamburger chain commercial?\u00a0 My wife says it’s a Chad lookalike, but I think it’s Chad.\u00a0 What the hell?\u00a0Actors 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?\u00a0Is Chad the new Carrot Top<\/a>?<\/p>\n I can’t believe I’m blogging about this stuff.\u00a0 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<\/a>!<\/p>\n Previous entries in this thread: here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One tries to ignore pop culture, but it seeps through.\u00a0 Now Maine lobster and Chad have joined forces with the Ma Na Ma Na song to take over my brain.
