Recession: Brought to you by Bud Light

There's a sign in front of a bar downtown that says:

"Thank you for your patronage over the last 10 years, we will be closing December 19."
Great Taste, goes down smooth. Bud Light.


Really Bud Light? You're sponsoring the bar shuttering signs now?

Is Dunkin Donuts Channeling Palin?

I just saw a Dunkin Donuts commercial that claimed that their coffee was preferred by more "hardworking Americans" in a blind taste test with Starbucks. You're obviously supposed to think that it's just plain better, but I couldn't help but notice the hardworking qualifier. Also, the people being polled in the commercial are a construction worker, taxi driver, and so on. Are they taking advantage of the Hillary Clinton/Sarah Palin distinction between "working" and "real" Americans and everyone else? (i.e., Starbucks drinking, argula eating Americans)
