> Those three guys are just irritating, and the commercials are dumb. With the dog, they were at least funny and dumb. I posit for your inspection, the case of our local Taco Bell: after the dog commercials began airing, TB's popularity soared. We took some of those car-antenna-flags with the words, "Viva Gorditas!" and distributed them to children in San Quintin, Mexico. With the three guys commercials, TB hasn't seen any change here. So obviously, since more people liked the dog, the dog commercials are better. Or something like that.

No, it means the dog was more popular. A lot of people like annoying things that last too long. Look at the "Wassuuuuuuuuuup" thing. People STILL think they're funny by saying that.
