I've written an analysis of the long running Jack in the Box fast food chain commercials. I'd love to here what you think of it. Follow the link below.

:blink:

Now try to convince me that Ronald McDonald is straight.

That's funny.

I think regarding some of the commercials you've explained the text rather than rooted out subtext, since they're clearly gay jokes. Which is not to say you have not done valuable work either way.

There's one running right now where Jack fires a (female) cheerleader who had been hired to raise spirit around Jack's office.

I caught a bit of that one during the baseball game tonight. However, I was at work and not able to fully concentrate on it at the time. All I saw was Jack demanding that she leave.

Vaguely related.

Local (Orlando, Florida) radio talk/comedy show THE PHILIPS PHILE (I like host Jim Philips a lot - he's a decidedly old-school radio host, smart, funny and willing to call the the powerful on their stupidity. The show is one of the few things making living down in this hellhole tolerable) - anyway, a topic on the show recently was the conversation in which Jim's barber casually mentioned that the cavemen in Geico Auto Insurance's commercial series were obviously gay.

After much discussion, it was decided that the cavemen probably weren't intended to be seen as gay by the company, but instead part of the joke was that they were cultured, and being cultured in today's popular culture seems to open up the possibility of seeing the cultured male as iffeminate.

Anyway, the Jack in the Box thing was a fun read!
