Remember this somewhat odd advertisement from a few years ago? Somebody uploaded it to YouTube.
“The spot: An obese man is tending a barbecue grill. He's cooking some Ball Park Franks. He says he likes his hot dogs ”girthy.“ He keeps repeating that word—claiming he likes ”the way it rolls off my tongue“—as he holds the frank up to his mouth; issues a guttural moan; and wraps his lips around the big, swinging dog. In all, he says ”girthy“ a full seven times. ”
Especially when it gets put in a hot dog commercial. Repeated over and over, in a lascivious tone. Followed by satisfied grunting. We have to face it: Hot dogs—sometimes called “wieners”—are a little bit phallic. So, wouldn't you try to avoid using words that bring this to the fore?I've no doubt that many hot dog consumers also perform fellatio. And more power to them. But do they really wish to contemplate this act while noshing on a frank at a barbecue? Also, are they Ball Park's target demographic? In a corporate press release, spokesman “Frank” is described as a “straight-talking, All-American” guy who “believes in red meat, cold beer, [and] spectator sports …” I hate labels, but this sounds like your classic straight dude. Not so much a fellatiator.
Depends upon what sort of spectator sports we're talking about I suppose.
Bee Jays, it's what's for breakfast. Errr, something like that. Maybe afternoon delight?
Bonus:
Arrested Development's version of Afternoon Delight (as sung by an uncle and his niece, and an aunt and her nephew. Less creepy and more funny than it sounds.)
