Does 'Psshh' mark the spot for Super Bowl glory? Orlando man hopes so

Video: The obligatory fan-created Doritos Super Bowl ad mocks Christian rite clip
Note well: This isn’t an ad that Doritos is running in the Super Bowl, just one that they posted on their website (and refused to remove) after a fan submitted it for their contest with Pepsi. The bad news? Even to an ex-Catholic like me, it feels cheap. Blasphemy in defense of principle, like free Speech, is welcome; blasphemy in the service of humor can be fun. Blasphemy to sell bags of Cool Ranch chips? Eh. They have every right, but aside from Richard Dawkins and maybe Hitch, whoR...

Doritos ad: 'God obviously has a sense of humor, he gave us the Democrat party'
"God obviously has a sense of humor, he  gave us the Democrat party," quipped Lars Larson, a syndicated radio host and Fox News contributor. Larson took the shot at Democrats as he slammed  a Controversial Doritos ad that is taking heat for allegedly mocking the  Catholic Church, being anti - Christian. Megyn Kelly made the point that if anyone did an ad, like the Dorito ad, mocking Islam, there would be a deafening outcry from the Muslim community.  In the ad, a priest is ag...

Happy Hour Vid: Is Doritos Mocking Christians? (The Atlantic Wire)
WASHINGTON, DC – Produced for the Super Bowl, Doritos debuted a fan-created TV ad featuring a pastor who gets parishioners to go to church by handing out Nacho Cheese flavored chips as communion bread (as opposed to the traditional thin wafers) and Pepsi as wine. The ad apparently has raised some eyebrows, Fox reporting it as "Controversial Dorito Ad Accused of Mocking Catholics" (though it's not immediately apparent that the ad is mocking Catholics rather than Christians in general*) an...

Foxs Megyn Kelly Hosts Doritos™ Versus Catholic Church Debate
Beloved munchie product Doritos has declared war on the Catholic Church- or so some devotees are interpreting their latest commercial, which depicts priests substituting the crispy corn snack for the Eucharist, and giving a sort of Doritos Communion. The ad, produced for the Super Bowl, didn’t quite make the cut,  but that doesn’t mean it’s not riling up the faithful. The idea for the ad, as Megyn Kelly explained to her audience on America Live today, was that the Church...

Key To The City: My Super Bowl Dilemma
I hate football. Not really, but the Giants are giving me no choice. Two weeks ago, I asked for three things for Christmas. I asked for the Yankees to produce something that resembles a starting rotation that can compete in the AL East, the Giants to make the Playoffs and for the Knicks to land Carmelo Anthony. The Giants were eliminated from the Playoffs on Sunday, and the Yankees are thinking about bringing in Jeff Francis or Jeremy Bonderman to round out their rotation. Carmelo might as well ...

Doritos Ad Offends Christians
In what may be another ad campaign gone awry, Doritos is featuring a new Super Bowl advertisement in which a priest, searching for ways to return to the church, has a supposedly brilliant idea: Replacing the host wafer with a Dorito. While the denomination of the church is unclear, what is clear is that most Christian denominations consider the host to be a big portion of communion and might find the commercial, titled "Feed your flock!", insensitive. A spokesman for Frito-Lay told The Examiner ...

At Right Wing blog Hot Air, Allahpundit complains about a “blasphemous” advertisement for Doritos. (Yes, really.) Even to an ex-Catholic like me, it feels cheap.

We're out of control . . .
Wonder why you have already broken all your New Year's resolutions? Do not blame yourself -- heaven forbid. Enlist modern sophistication, and blame your brain's frontal cortex, affluence, the Internet (the ``collapse of delay between impulse and action'') and ``the democratization of temptation.'' Those phrases are from Daniel Akst, a novelist and essayist whose book We Have Met the Enemy: Self-Control in an Age of Excess notes that the problems of freedom and affluence -- of ``managing desire ...

The inheritance of obesity: Thanks, Dad
THAT a gestating mother’s environment can have a permanent effect on the physiology of her offspring is well established. The Children of Dutch women who were pregnant during the “Hunger Winter” of 1944, for example, suffer much higher rates of Obesity, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease than those born a year or two earlier. Similar observations in other famines, together with experiments on rodents, suggest this is an accidental consequence of an evolutionary adaptation to f...

New Years Weight Loss Advice
It’s come to my attention that many people make New Year’s resolutions to lose weight. I didn’t do that in 2010, but I did weigh almost 250 pounds on March 1, 2010 and this morning I weighed 180 pounds which goes to show that it’s possible to lose weight. So I thought this might be an opportune day to share some advice. For me the saga began, appropriately enough, with the decision to pay for a few sessions with a Personal Trainer since I felt I wasn’t really get...
