Flavors of Arabia
The advertising campaign for Pizza Hut’s new product line in Dubai makes me feel torn:
On one hand, I see the billboards everywhere and am like, “Ugh, gross industrial pizza with fake chicken shawarma, what could be more disgusting?!” and also like, “Hmm, corporate America co-opting ‘the Orient’ to sell 10,000-calorie meals to obese, diabetic locals - bet Edward Said is rolling in his grave.”
On the other hand, I see the billboards everywhere and am reminded of the fact that I haven’t had a carb since Saturday night (Alex and I are doing the Four Hour Body diet… I know, I’m annoyed by us too, but really - it was that or become obese, diabetic locals ourselves) and I’m like, “GROSS INDUSTRIAL PIZZA WITH FAKE CHICKEN SHAWARMA IS STILL PIZZA, FEED IT TO ME NOW!!!!!!” and then I feel guilty and am like “Maybe I could just pick the chicken off the top and eat it by itself?!”
Feelings.
