    No idea mate, a bit of a shame really as I find that Melanie Paxson does a bang-up job acting out that line, with her little thumb-point, side-mouth whisper and pointed glare. Nicely cast, Red Robin.

    AntDude! *highfives* And fairuse, I'm with you. No idea what he's doing here other than really distancing himself from the crap that his virus software has become. And entertain us. Whoismcafee leads to yestodish ... Yes To Dish? On his twitter he currently converses a lot with Kim Dotcom and tells people about this video. Hmmmm....

    I think the "phase" market is exactly who they are going for. My point above is that those vegetarians who "want to save animal lives" don't frequent establishments where 90% of the menu is meat. That would contradict their stance. People who chose to be vegetarians for other reasons may have less of an issue with a garden burger being fried up on the same grills as the angus beef one. People who have dietary restrictions due to religious grounds are likely not going to Red Robin at all. The potential customers that they may have offended here (with a joke about teenagers, not a jab at vegetarians) are the meat-free office co-workers who might otherwise have joined in at lunch when Bossman said "burgers for lunch!" and picked Red Robin to go to. In the #millionreasons hashtag and on Facebook there are plenty of offended vegetarians who claim they used to like the garden burger (really?) and that they'll never go back for one now. Because the waitress made a joke about teenagers being finicky.

    The ASCII doesn't work quite as well around here, but points for effort. Might get better monospaced font if you use the CODE tag.

    What a terrifically unexpected comment. I can see you went straight to insulting me instead of taking apart my argument. What's the matter, too weak to type anything longer than that?

    Ha! While I'm sure that was the rationale - that they could aim for both - it's missing a key insight. Women buy romance novels, text, while men buy visual porn (gay or straight). You can't actually aim at both with one image. Going for the pink pound is perfectly fine, and in fact very wise if that's their biggest paying target, but in the case of middle-American salad dressing, I doubt it is.

    Coke is a great example of two wrongs don't make a right. I've hated that giggling office-worker-gals idea since it first appeared in the late 80s. Seriously, who the fuck does that? In fact, that's when I stopped drinking Diet Coke. Not that they care. The Diet Coke puppets on the other hand, oh la la! They're hilarious. and Jean-Paul, gay icon & fashion king, made a straighter ad. Go figure. It's not like they're without plenty of sexual innuendo, either. You bring up a good point, there isn't much of a reason for the spokesperson to be totally nude under a picnic blanket. This is exactly the type of ad that is banned by European advertising watchdogs, and I can't help but think this is what they're hoping for (a ban gets more earned media)

    Nobody on this website would say that only women are depicted in a sexist manner in advertising. In fact, I say sexist ads are bad for everyone. Tom Ford is an equal opportunity offender, with full frontal nude Sophie Dahl, full frontal shaved labia behind perfume bottles on his resumé. So yes, he did do that "just a vagina selling perfume" idea you have, and I immediately thought "it must smell like pee". Tom Ford has most likely inspired the gang rape images D&G used. The latter a tad more violent than simple nudity, with both hetrosexual and homosexual seemingly forced encounters and/or porn-sets. p.s. I'm a woman not blind to double standards, add that to your anecdata-pipe and smoke it.
