  Ok I’m not one to point out errors in arguments of blogs and postings here on EW…but I have to alert the people at EW that your headline is “Saw IV” (4), when I’m sure you intended to write “Saw VI” (6).

  Just looking out for ya

  Thanks for the catch, Monty! Roman numerals…they’re the worst.

  A couple months ago I tweeted about how much I hate that commercial. Boost Mobile replied that they were glad I enjoyed it so much and gave me a link to a making-of video. Then they started following me.

  Those pigs crack me up! When the one says, “I enjoy a nice ham,” I just about choke on my chitlins.

  I would’ve written this ad off had it not been for the clincher: the hoofed “nada” gesture he gives. Cracks me up!

  I just…ugh.

  I don’t have a problem with eating meat and stuff, but the pigs eating pigs thing is just way too gross.

  What about the one with the coroner who drops the sandwich he’s eating on the body he is examining? That one grosses me out way more than canabalistic pigs…EWWWW

  Did you watch The Simpsons last night? Krustyburger was making its burgers from cows that had been fed other cows. Eating one turned you into a zombie.

  I am amused/confused. Kind of like that fast food computer animated commercial awhile back where the mother and father shrimp are talking about how much they love the popcorn shrimp and then freak out a bit when they realize that their kids are missing.

  Yea Boost, like self-cannibalism REALLY makes me want to switch cell phone providers. Yet, I would watch these pigs over the Verizon nerd anyday

  It reminds of the pigeons in downtown Houston — they eat chicken wings! It’s just wrong!
