I don't understand why certain commercials get to become "banned." I've seen a few since the latest multitude of Super Bowl commercials, and most of those have been funnier that anything shown on TV! Who the heck decided these commercials weren't fit for television? There were even a couple of questionable ones shown during the game this year, ones that offended quite a few people. Who cleared those monstrosities?Case in point, the following "banned" Wendy's commercial, from 2007, for their four-alarm spicy chicken sandwich. The scientist holds said sandwich out to his assistant with tongs, so you know right away this thing means business. I haven't had fast food in years, but I gotta say I started wondering where the nearest Wendy's joint was so I could try one of these bad boys; that fourth "hint" (hit?) of spice is a doozy. Continue on for the video. (And for those who don't get the headline, read up on LOLCats.)

You guys are about half a year late on the lolcats meme. It stopped being funny a long, long time ago (in a galaxy far away).

Not "hints", but "hits" of heat.

Now why would this be banned? Could it be because of the number of people blowing themselves up in public places in Iraq? Made me think suicide bomber....
That and you can see hints of the assistant's willy on the scanner....
