Rick Bayless conned himself into believing he is the Michael Jordan of
cooking.  But  don't be too hard on him, he said what he said on the
commercial because he was hired to ACT in the commercial just like all those
burger chomping basketball players.  You know they don't eat buck-something
burgers either and I don't notice an up roar with them.  So take it lightly
and admit we like to be mesmerized by TV ads, it's our macro-second
entertainment they cater to.  Because of that BK commercial I tried that
sandwich which I did not like.  BK just wants you to try it with the hopes
that you will buy it again and a TV ad formula is to have a celeb take a
bite of it so the masses will follow.  Hey, maybe if BK gets Michael Jordan
to take a bite of that thing maybe the people who can't afford Rick Bayless
cooking will follow.  I wonder if Rick Bayless would agree?
