M-I-SS-I-PP-I....

This commercial is creepy for all kinds or reasons. The idea of jumping rope for a sandwich is pretty weird, even when the sandwich looks like it was just prepared at the deli counter. Then once the boys have at it, they seem to be more into the jumping than the winning. And finally it's another commercial where young people having no morals and apparently desperately hungry and too poor to have their own food are willing to tie up those whom we assume are their friends in order to steal their sandwich. Pretty ridiculous. But forgetting all that this is another case of acceptable male abuse. Switch the roles and have the girls tied up and the commercial—like so many commercials—takes on an entirely new slant.
