Have you seen those "America Runs On Dunkin'" ads for Dunkin' Donuts? They're narrated by John Goodman. John Goodman! Not only a fat man, but a fat man who even distinctly sounds fat. You can hear his bulging neckline putting pressure on his windpipe as he tells you about the new sausage and cheese monstrosities that Dunkin' Donuts wants to pass off for breakfast food.
Their food looks heart-attack-inducing enough; why would Dunkin' Donuts choose a narrator whose chubby voice merely highlights that fact? Don't they get that it's ironic to choose a spokesman who could serve equally well as a poster boy for the unhealthful effects of the food? It's as if the commercials are meant to be cautionary messages brought to you by the American Heart Association.
