A slice of non-reality.


In the popular "How gullible do you think we are?" category, Red Baron has a real winner. In their pan pizza commercial, drivers from all the major pizza providers have gathered at one house to savor the incredible flavor of Red Baron pan pizza. Well, if there's one thing we all know it's that store pizza is not as delicious as delivery pizza, no matter what they tell us. While I'm guessing that Red Baron makes a pretty good store pizza, I think they're stretching credulity to suggest that it's superior to not just one, but all, the delivery companies. I suppose we're not supposed to believe the premise of most commercials; They are there merely to arouse our interest in trying the products. But once you do, isn't there a part of you that resents the company that told you such an outlandish lie?
