What's with the Jack-in-the-box commercial
The one where they advertise "natural fries" and they're talking with some guy with a French accent?

Is this anti-French or some sort of subtle dig at Dubya?

1. Natural fries?
I didn't know that synthetic fries existed.

2. Well, a lot of fries...
...have flavorings sprayed on them to make them distinctive from other fries. They talk about that in Fast Food Nation.

5. The first ad I saw...
...had a black man in it. Sure he was wearing a business suit and wasn't looking like a felon, but how many rednecks saw that ad and thought he should have been wearing a prison suit?

6. Sounds like Jack-In-The-Box needs a culinary refresher course.
Point 1: French refers NOT to the country of origin, but to the cut of the potato.
Point 2: The dish was originated in Belguim.
