Animals Who Want To Be Eaten

"Halo Burger is one of the oldest hamburger chains in the United States and originated in Flint, MI way back in 1923. Originally called Kewpee, the company served its first hamburger out of a “boxcar” style wagon on Harrison St. in Downtown Flint.There, we created the world’s first “deluxe” hamburger, made with 100% fresh, never-frozen beef, pressed on a searing hot grill to give it just the right amount of char. Then we top it with fresh cut tomatoes, lettuce and mayonnaise. That’s one deluxe burger! Now we serve our burgers with “The Works”, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, ketchup, mustard & mayonnaise. This is the burger you used to get in your backyard when your parents had 4th of July parties. It’s big, it’s juicy and it’s topped with hand-cut toppings between a fresh baked bun.And remember… 'Seven days without a halo burger makes one weak!'"

I have in mind of a muscled pig turned slightly sideways and him looking straight ahead with a smirk and one eyebrow raised. He has a white shirt on with rolled up sleeves, blue suspenders, and a pig tattoo on his arm facing me. His arms are crossed and he has a a spatula in one hand and a meat fork in the other. -Design brief for Tattooed Pig BBQ by crhadley89

[The owner] points to the Hog father's logo - a caricature of a "pigman" - hanging in the window, saying the tuxedo-clad, derby-wearing figure pretty much represents his ideals.

"I'm a nuts-and-bolts, hometown-kind-of-joint operator," the affable Puskarich said. "A down-to-earth, blue-jeans, tennis-shoes, honest-day's-work kind of guy."

That explains the torn-away sleeve of the pigman's tuxedo, he notes. -Liz Rogers, Living in Washington County, 2009

Je ne sais pas vraiment quoi penser de ce spot... Sa réalisation 3D et ses personnages ciblent clairement la jeunesse, rappelant notamment cette nouvelle génération de clips régressifs et puérils qui cartonnent sur les chaînes musicales (Crazy Frog, Ilona Mitrecey, Pinocchio...). Néanmoins, sans avoir la prétention de me lancer dans une quelconque lecture sémiologique de cette pub, l'image de toute puissance de la vache devant laquelle les personnages squelettiques s'agitent dans une "danse de la pluie" proche de la transe sous ecsta n'est pas sans rappeler une sorte de culte du veau d'or, ou de rite sectaire. 

“I don’t really know what to think of this spot...

Its 3-D realisation and its characters are clearly aimed at the young, notably recalling that new generation of regressive and puerile clips that are big hits on the music stations (Crazy Frog, Ilona Mitrecey, Pinocchio...).

Nonetheless, without having any pretension to throw myself into any semiotic reading of this ad, the powerful image of a cow before whom the skeletal characters scramble in a “rain dance” in what is almost an ecstatic trance is not without hints of a sort of cult of the golden calf, or cult ritual.” -Cyrille Chaudoit, 2007

Ever want to eat at a meth kingpin's fast food restaurant? If you've ever seen Breaking Bad, your answer is, "Yes, of course." Your dream may become a reality! People who aren't meth kingpins are looking in to making Los Pollos Hermanos, Gus Fring's (Giancarlo Esposito) restaurant chain from Breaking Bad, a real thing!

"Believe it or not...there is talk of a Pollos Hermanos becoming a real restaurant. This is not an idea that I generated personally," Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan said in a Reddit AMA. "But it's one that's been presented to me, through the good folks at Sony, and the idea came to them from a businessman who has an interest in doing just that. Speaking for myself, I'd love to see that happen!" -Chris Harnick, 2015
