Media Horny for Arby's

Some kinks simply don't belong on prime-time TV. Arby's boners are one of them.

yeah i saw this creepy commercial the other night. not that i'd ever eat at an arby's anyway, but this commercial sealed the deal for me.

And did you notice the nice little "love handles" both were wearing? So cute that fat, and their heart likes the fat too.

It is a creepy ad. In the ad are 2 overweight people using fast food as a turn on. The whole thing makes me cringe.

@10 The woman doesn't appear to be overweight to me. What's your definition of healthy weight? Size 0?

Nothing wrong with a little muffin. But that sandwich looks like an uncomfortable screw. I'd like something not crispy and deep-fried, please. Maybe some nice egg salad?

Kudos to Arby's for this bold and progressive ad featuring Feederism, not as a basis for cheap and demeaning humor, but portrayed in a positive light. There is a whole world of fat fetishism. It's refreshing to see these formally taboo fetishes treated with the respect they deserve. Given the obesity problem in this country, I'm amazed that feederphobia still exists at all. Feeders and all fat fetishizers are finally being recognized as a legitimate subgroup of the expansive and diverse quilt that is the American Cultural Landscape. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_fetishi… has a great article on fat fetishes and feederism. Even better, drop the O-man himself a letter reminding him not to forget about the rights of feeders and fat fetishizers when he makes it to the White House this winter! Feeders Unite!

Mousing over the volume control and watching it pop-up made me giggle a little bit. I had to do it a few times, complete with sound effects. Boners are funny.

Arby's is really awful. If forced to choose between Arby's and Jack-in-the-Box, I'd choose death.

I totally miss the 5 for $5 deal. Now they do like $5.95 for 5, but it's for the added cheese ones.
Used to go and buy 20 Arbys and pop em in the fridge and share them, eating maybe 2 or 3 for dinner. Then I didn't have to buy meat for a long time.
But I never liked Jack-in-the-Box.

I will never, ever think of Arby's as anything more than some dumb-ass corporation in which a group of well-paid people sat around and thought up...THIS????? And a composer actually wrote music for it?? And someone came up with the "twang" sound effect for when the dick pops up?? And someone else sequenced it and mixed it?? And they were all paid for it. Did any of you guys get boners?

When I saw this commercial, I immediately--Immediately!--got on eBay to see if I could get an Arby's uniform for my girlfriend so we could re-enact the scene. Best commercial in ages.

LOL @ the crusaders for sex positive culture getting prudish. Stripclub by Safeco is a go but a racy Arby's commercial is in bad taste.
I love this newspaper but you guys are silly sometimes.
