Actually, they don't call it that. That's an English phrase. That is to say it's a phrase only English speakers use, even if it's French words. The French call it a "double sens".

Jack in the Box's ad agency has always been top notch. This reminds me of my favorite porny Jack in the Box commercial.

It's amazing what they did w/ their advertising after the E Coli incidents of the 90's... Completely reinvented the brand and saved their ass. A pretty amazing turnaround.

Makes the Anthony Weiner controversy mainstream.

Does Jack's wife know he's sexting coeds?

It's all part of the New Heterosexuality!

I laughed the first time I saw it.

Since we're talking about commercials, can we talk about how the Abilify commercials make suicide seem like the best option, given how grey and affectless the protagonist's life is even after adding Abilify?

I'll admit to raising my eyebrows the first time I saw that commercial. And how topical as well.

Have to agree with you, @12.

"Abilify, for when you're just in for a world of hurt regardless."
