Yo Quiero Taco Bell Anybody else find it funny? What is funny, though, is the new Jack-in-the-Box ad that pokes fun at the TB ads. The chihuahua (chi-wa-wa?) walks by a car that has the Jack head on the antenna. Jack asks him what kind of taste he has - "you're a dog!" and tells him to let his owners know about the sourdough burger. I LOVE those commercials that belittle competitors' commercials - LOVE THEM! It's like having a champion tp do, in the most public way, what you love to do - make fun of silly ads. Denice, Caroline, Seinfeld fans or not, you'll have to tune in to the final episode in May just to see the ads. They are being sold for $1.5 million per 30-second spot and promise to be as entertaining as superbowl ads. Clo
