Your caption here
One of the great things about a blog is the level of interaction with readers made possible by comments. AdPulp has some incredibly witty readers and to showcase that wealth of wit, we’re conducting a caption wrting contest for the above image. The best caption (as judged by yours truly) will be taken from the comments area and placed here, in the post.
Thanks for playing.
“Hootie and the Blowjob”
“I Only Wanna Be With Alex Bogusky”
“Shilling for Burger King. But dressed like a Burger Queen.”
“Where are the rest of the Village People?”
“Boy, I’d give anything to go back 10 years”
“Extra cheese, please.”
“Shilling for Burger King. But dressed like a Burger Queen.” is top notch work. I’ll be interested to see who can top that.
“Shoot me now. For the love of God, please shoot me now.”
“Zoloft Miracles”
“Back from the Brink of Irrelevance”
“Lenny got the Gap spot”

“Michael Jackson still sells records. I sell sandwiches.”
Oh the irony.
“oh there ain’t no snow
and the residuals flow
on the Big Ad Candy Mountain”

On the caption I will have to go with Danny G’s ‘Train’ of thought:
“It’s good to know that members of The Village People can still get work.”
P.S. The latest version of this commercial cut the line about ‘a nice caboose'” What-up with that?
Hootie does Burger King. Somehow, this makes me sad.
I mean, I don’t actually care about Hootie and the Blowfish or anything, but damn. Hootie, when you donned that lavender, Prince-meets-Bonanza cowboy outfit and started hawking flamed-broiled burgers, didn’t it occur to you just once: Maybe we should h…
