I don't really watch TV, but I found this hilarious.
Ads We Hate
I just wanted to add my vote to the (no doubt) enormous pile of e-mails you have gotten about Fudgems, the Domino's Pizza cube of brown grossness. I await any insight you might have on why someone thought it was a good idea to have a mascot for a food product that brings to mind Hanky the Christmas Poo.

I'm begging you to review the disgusting Domino's ad with the furry, fecal, fudge cube named "Fudgems."Please!

Fudgems is not a popular guy with ARC readers. Or with my girlfriend: She literally changes the channel whenever he appears. Personally, I can't understand this. It seems like a great idea to advertise a fudge brownie by first anthropomorphizing it, and then having it smear gucky brown goo over everyone who touches it. But I may be missing something:
I thought I had to be wrong. Domino's can't be offering a free block of hashish with every pizza, because even though it might make the pizza taste good for the first time, they'd go broke doing it. Also, it is illegal. At first I thought it was just me making this connection, but I mentioned it to several friends and they said that it looks more like hash than brownies. Even my 79-year-old father, who is not a user of recreational drugs, said it looked like hash when the commercial came on during a football game. Is Domino's trying to take the stoner market away from Doritos? What is the deal?

"Hello, Domino's? Three kilos of Fudgems, please. And do you sell reggae CDs?"
