Wendy's specializing in meat-eating lettuce

Meatatarian

Behold the greatest fast-food viral video of all time! Or at least, the best one to star a carnivorous head of lettuce. Created for Wendy's by Kirshenbaum Bond + Partners, it's called "Crazy Lettuce." The lettuce gets crazy about 18 seconds in. As the guy in the clip says: "Wait for it." I wasted 60 seconds of my life watching the video twice. Which is nothing compared to the years I've shaved off my existence pounding down Baconator sandwiches. I regret nothing. If my Baconator comes with lettuce, tomatoes or anything vaguely healthy, I don't take that stuff off. I send the whole thing back and demand another one. Sure, they probably spit in it, but that's still better than eating lettuce and tomatoes. Full disclosure: I watched the video three times, and yes, then I went out to Wendy's. The grease seeped into my clothes, and now I'll smell like burgers all day. This must be what it's like in heaven.

It's funny that this obvious viral attempt is taking so long to go viral. We posted it the 24th of AUgust and only now is it beginning to pop up on other adblogs. Not sure how popular it was on non-ad-blogs before we got it (they made sure non ad people got the ad first afaik).

Ours is here and Quicktime as usual.
