But do you order from the pizza company that broadcast the advert or from your own personal favourite pizza shop?
If it's the latter, I wouldn't call you weak willed. We're all suggestible after a few beers, especially concerning food. Advertising is more than telling you, 'you need to buy a dishwasher', it's 'you need to buy OUR dishwasher'. An advertiser has truly failed if you buy a competitor's product after viewing their advert.
The best form of adblocking for TV I have consists of the acronym BBC.;)
What happened to the good old trolls such as the story about shoving a womans face in the toilet in Dunkin' Donuts, teaching a Linux nerd about sex in the park, forced restroom anal sex by some kind of computer geeks (think it was a vi vs emacs or mac vs linux thing), Old Joe or whatever his name was and other well written and witty trolls?
You bastard! You posted exactly what I was going to post!;)
It says on Wikipedia that Sacha Baron Cohen based the character on a doctor he met in southern Russia. I wonder if this Mahir guy has ever practiced medicine in that general vicinity...

Although, in typical Slashdot style, you've tried to take the original joke further and utterly devastated it, I'm glad to see you put the buffering rightly between the N and the O; a small difference that makes the buffering joke a lot funnier.

I only ever add people to my Friends list solely for funny posts when I'm drunk, but that was so funny I'll make a single, sober exception;)
I can hear the person in my mind speaking so quickly immediately after each Zot and then gradually slowing down, and the face in my head as I read is Homer Simpson.
What if the God that created the initial conditions (and thus, indirectly, 'us') is actually a student in a separate, larger Universe whom is simply carrying out a mandatory fourth grade physics lab project that stipulates that all students must orchestrate a Big Bang with their own paramaters and document the results?
I quite like the idea that while us humans are thinking we are the dog's bollocks, the bigger picture is that we're all just in a floating ball on some lazy 'alien' kid's night-stand.
Nah, they don't give a fuck about shrimp because they are ugly animals with heads full of shit.
A beady-eyed, multi-legged, bottom-feeding creature has no marketing value and is thus useless for skimming money from tofu-eating nutjobs. A shrimp is PETA's Mr Pibb, whereas a cute and fluffy kitten is their Dr Pepper.
Slashdot Mirror
That ravine is not dangerous, it's 'adventurous'.
Those demons are not ugly, they're 'full of character'.
The fire spewing from their mouths is not agonisingly scalding, it's 'cosy'.
You see, in advertising there's the truth, and then there's the truth.
Or Benny's Fine Beer?

Hear piece? Musics?
Why do I hear Mr Burns when I read your post, and why is it hilarious?
Bob Goatse goes for the 60GB Photo iPods, surely?
Is that a long, cylindrical, portable mp3 player in your pocket, or are you just trying to convolute my clichéd sexual innuendos?
a SQUARE, or a FLAT RECTANGLE
I like to carry a LINE or two around with me.
Known as an iEye or, colloquially, 'Aye aye' by music pirates.
The current overusage of the word MEME is a FAD, that's for sure.
I haven't heard that one in a few years, God that brings back a lot of early surfing memories.
What's the deal behind that; is it all parody or was the voice recording actually genuine?

Goatse is not a fad. It's like the colour black - it never goes out of fashion.

Listening to ebonics is a fate worse than deaf.

Did you know that Wikipedia deleted the article for 'Gullible' because of the reasons you listed?
Maybe there was something 'special' in those cookies of his...
Is September 27th good enough for you?
I can't believe it's not shell?
Mrs Johnson, your son died from a bullet to the head after trying to protect Iraqi kids from insurgent gunfire.
Mrs Jackson, your son died from a shot to the back while he was helping a comrade out from under a collapsed wall.
Mrs Jameson, your son cut his neck shaving with a bowie knife and had an allergic reaction to the shrimp bandage.
Yeah I see what you mean, not the noblest of military deaths is it?

I hope they can get Bush to sing 'Won't Get Fooled Again' for the soundtrack.
