Putting a Steak Through The Neighbor's Heart

One of the most ridiculous commercials I've seen in a long time involves a family sitting around the dinner table. The voice-over says it's time to tell the neighbors you're eating steak again.

Say what?

This is so wrong on so many levels. Where do I begin?

First of all, why would you tell the neighbors what you were having for dinner unless you were inviting them over to join you? Would you really want them to know Joe Bob is getting extra hours at Walmart so you can buy Steak-umms again?

Secondly, do Steak-umms actually count as steak? Do they even count as meat? They're about as thick as two-ply toilet paper. We're not talking a 16 oz. porterhouse here.

Does your happiness rely on how envious the other residents of the trailer park are of you? If it does, you've got a few problems and eating Steak-umms is just one of the minor ones.
