Our pal Vern brings this rather interesting development to our attention. Seems the people at the Quiznos sandwich chain have recruited our much beloved spongemonkeys for a web promotion.
We're not sure how to feel about this. It's often disturbing to see a favoured expression of wacked creativity from the margins get appropriated by large-scale commercial interests. On the other hand, begrudging kudos must go to Quiznos' marketing/ad people for daring to use the spongemonkeys, and for generally having the, uh, "quiznos", for such a strategy. There aren't many marketing strategies out there that are willing to recognize the role of web culture in the popular consciousness.
Either way, we here at jimbuck2 heartily applaud any punnerific use of the word 'buck', especially as used in the 'buck off' header on the promotion's web page.
It's also worth a trip over to rathergood.com to check out some of the new installments. We especially liked "When Biscuits Go Wrong" and The Zoology Dragon.
"COW! CUBE! COWUUUBE!"
