We will be the first to admit that we haven’t a clue as to what the new NBC series The Event is about, but with this advertisement stating, “a desperate act will start it” we assume that The Event is an entire series that was started, or inspired by, thanks to the horrific ending that Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof came up with for Lost.
Either that, or the McDonald’s number that that lady is wearing inspired it… YOWZA!!!
We spotted these Continental.com advertisements on all of the turnstiles at Wall Street Station.
They’re just another step into the world of creepy and odd advertising. Since it’s going there, we might as well embrace it and say that we look forward to the day when all of the MTA and other public property of NYC has been sold off to advertisers. It’ll be a day and age where municipal employees wear coveralls and look like Nascar drivers wearing no less than 50 advertisements patched onto their uniforms and it will be a land where subway announcements will likely sound like this:
“Do not hold the Capitol One Credit Card Doors. Holding the Capitol One Credit Card Doors open delays Chase Bank Subway Service.”
“Due to an emergency at Club Med Station, there is no downtown express service.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, as of July 2005, the Wal-Mart Police Department has the right to check large bags and packages within the Chase Bank Subway System at the Wynn Resorts and Casino sponsored City of New York.”
“If you see a suspicious package, please report it to a FreeCreditReport.com agent or Wal-Mart Police Officer.”
“Welcome to the Chase Bank Subway System at the Wynn Resorts and Casino sponsored City of New York. There is an uptown Starbucks train at BP Station, four stations away. There is also a downtown McDonald’s train at AT&T station, one station away.”
“The Swatch Watch Company would like to let you know that the time is now, 11:30AM.”
“The unlimited monthly Metrocard price is now, 5,000 Pepsi Bucks.”
Those will be the days… 
We’ve known that the monster exists but never wanted to believe that it really was out there somewhere.
Yet seeing a billboard for a McDonald’s drive thru in Manhattan is a beast.
Nothing can prepare you for it, but it is a sign none the less than Manhattan truly isn’t a walkers paradise — the almighty drive thru window of McDonald’s reigns supreme.
Long time readers might remember the fast food burger tour that we went on back in 2008 that had us eating 3,080 calories worth of burgers from McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King. Or, perhaps our trip to Five Guys Burgers and Fries that occured last spring.
Well, we made our third trip to fast food restaurants in three years this past week when we stepped into a Wendy’s and ate ourselves a Bacon Blue burger.
One word: DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS!!!!
While we couldn’t find the calorie count of the Bacon Blue listed anywhere at the Wendy’s that we visited as required by law in NYC, a google search reveals that the Bacon Blue is likely 680 calories, 360 of which is from fat — heart attack. YUM!!!
One big slab of fast food beef, lettuce, tomatoes, blue cheese and BACON, we were left amazed by the delicious joy that was the Bacon Blue. That said, the thing felt as though it was loaded with salt and we had to drink lots more water than our usual intake.
So, should you find yourself in the mood to try something new that we assume is probably bad for you to eat on a daily basis…we recommend you eat a Bacon Blue from Wendy’s.
