inspiration on the f train


as a brooklyn resident, i have to ride the f train. a lot. seems like i'm always on that stupid train. anyway, i totally identified with this storyin the ny times today. apparently, two stand-up comedians came up with an idea for a doritos superbowl commercial contest while riding the train a few months back. their idea? a commercial staring their friend, the disheveled time warner cable guy from those annoying verizon fios commercials, stars as an executive pitching a new beer-flavored dorito. after he eats the chips, he turns into a "John Belushi-like madman."

the commercial is now one of five finalists currently streaming on the doritos website Doritos Presents: Crash the Superbowl. visitors to the site vote on their favorites and the winner will be broadcast during the superbowl in a couple weekends. these f train guys are the only new york finalists, so of course i am throwing my support behind them!
