Coming Soon:Top 10 reasons to avoid The Olive Garden

OH NO! What will the Letterman show be without Olive Garden ads?

---

So now Olive Garden is the moral majority! Pahleeze!

I F'in LOVE the Olive Garden. My guilty pleasure.

Olive Garden and their sister restaurants Macaroni Grill and Red Lobster are bad taste terrorists. You wanna have that Olive Garden flavor? Make some regular pasta, badly, and then pour an ENTIRE SHAKER OF SALT OVER YOUR PLATE, mix, then serve.

---

Really? I have never had a meal at Macaroni Grill that didn't make me sick (though it was a favorite catering idea amongst all my friends for their parties). I do enjoy Red Lobster, however. Those biscuits are divine.

Futurama once referred to alien Doctor Zoidberg as "a Red Lobster that won't ruin your dinner!"

For some reason, I'm not picky about shrimp, but my dad has been a saltwater fisherman for over 40 years (and some freshwater; he and his best friend were recently interviewed for a St. Louis area radio program featuring fishing in Ely, Wisconsin) and I grew up only eating de-boned fresh fish, so I am VERY picky about fish, which is why I rarely ever order it in restaurants. If I go to a seafood chain, I only order shellfish or maybe catfish filets.

FYI - If anyone is interested, you can listen to my dad's radio interview online. Just click the link and select the 5/21 Thursday Fan Outdoors Hr1 segment. They are featured in the second half of that particular segment. My dad is the one doing pretty much all the talking (with a little shout-out to me).

lol, as did I. My hometown was called Tarantinoville.

Olive Garden may have pulled their ads but they still have to pay for them,even if they are not running them. Yeah real smart. Also found this.

Olive Garden disputes report that ads were pulled from Letterman

A spokesman for the Olive Garden disputed a report from Politico that the restaurant chain pulled its advertising from the David Letterman show due to jokes about Sarah Palin?s daughter.

?Information reported today by Andy Barr of Politico regarding Olive Garden?s advertising on the Late Show with David Letterman was erroneous. No authorized spokesperson for the company confirmed the information in his report,? said Olive Garden spokesman Rich Jeffers in an email to The Vote.

?The Olive Garden media schedule is planned months in advance. The schedule for the Late Show with David Letterman was completed earlier this month. We take all guest concerns seriously. And, as always, we will factor those concerns in as we plan our advertising schedule in the future,? he continued.

Jeffers has not yet responded to an email asking if Olive Garden advertisements will continue on the David Letterman show.

If any Sarah Palin supporters starts gloating over their victory for getting sponsors to drop Dave, show them this

Sean Hanity insist the crowd outside the Ed SUllivan theatre was a couple hundred,even though it's been reported there were either 15 or 40, no more. These people have to LIE in order to get their agenda passed.

I made a lasagna rollatini recipe that I got from Everyday Italian. I am not saying she's legit either, but the lasagna was fantastic and the presentation was much more beautiful than typical lasagna.

---

The latest (?) one about a girlfriend having her boyfriend meet her friends is pretty f--ked up. It's like "I wanted him to get to know everyone while eating horrible Italian food!" Oy.

Anyway, the last time I went to the Olive Garden I distinctly remember the food was a bit too salty for my liking.
