I gotta argue with this one - it looks to me that the anonymous chef on the logo who's saying that the meatballs are his (or the company his mug represents, anyway) best. Just like Chef Boyardee, but twotone, anonymous, and cooking up italian catastrophes in a basement lab.
Totally inedible-looking, I can't deny it, but the quotation marks aren't inappropriate, just tacky and a great example of ineffective advertising. :)
Wow-- we just picked up some burgers from the same company for a BBQ yesterday. I was planning on taking a pic and sending it in. Guess I got beat to the punch.
We were talking about the quotation marks, and my theory is that they're actually quoting the chef guy, and that he's offering a halfhearted apology-- "these aren't good burgers, but we tried our best..."
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

(Love the blog, by the way)
